Transverse momentum spectra of protons and anti-protons from RHIC ($sqrt{s}$ = 62 and 200 GeV) and LHC experiments ($sqrt{s}$= 0.9 and 7 TeV) have been considered. The data are fitted in the low $p_T$ region with the universal formula that includes the value of exponent slope as a main parameter. It is seen that the slope of low-$p_T$ distributions is changing with energy. This effect impacts on the energy dependence of average transverse momenta, which behaves approximately as $s^{0.06}$ that is similar to the previously observed behavior for $Lambda^0$-baryon spectra. In addition, the available data on $Lambda_c$ production from LHCb at $sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV were also studied. The estimated average $<p_T>$ is bigger than this value for protons proportionally to masses. The preliminary dependence of hadron average transverse momenta on their masses at LHC energy is presented.
