Baseball Gloves

Posted by Brian under Baseball

Your Position, Baseball gloves come in different shapes and sizes based on the position they will be used for. For example, pitchers gloves and infield gloves are generally smaller than an outfielder’s glove, and first baseman’s glove and catchers mitts are unique unto themselves.

The Feel, Make sure to choose a baseball glove that feels right to you. If the glove is uncomfortable, it may affect your performance in the field.

Your Age / Size of the Glove, Baseball gloves come in many different sizes made to fit different ages, postions and games (softball gloves). Gloves are measured by their “pattern size”, measurement from the heel of the glove (by your wrist) to the top of the glove on the palm side (near your fingers). Youth gloves range from 8″ to about 12″. Adult gloves usually fall in the 12″-13″ range. Professional glove are actually required by the rule to be no more than 12″.

General Sizing Guidelines:

Adults,

Outfielders- 12″-13″ gloves

Infielders & Pitchers 10 3/4″- 12″ gloves

Adult Softball Gloves: 12″ – 14″

Youth, Sizes range from 9″-11″. 8 year olds can often use 11″ gloves.

Soccer Shoes

True Leather or Synthetic?

The upper portion of every soccer shoe is made out of either true leather or synthetic material.

What is better?

True leather in our opinion and we recommend it to every one who plays more than 2-3 days per week.

True leather gives you an uncompromising feel of the ball. It molds to your feet producing great comfort. It also lasts longer than synthetic materials. And it is healthier for our feet.

Synthetic materials don’t let the feet “breathe” building up sweat, thus potential for future blisters.
