Ichiro said it in the interview in the Japanese show that never mess up your balance. Meaning always play the style that matches you the best. So have the bat that matches you, and have a glove that matches you the best. So if Mizuno glove doesn't matches you, don't use it. Use other brand. Ichiro is special, talented, and genius. It just his philosophy or ideology is very very difficult to understand. So a lot of OB tells everybody to not to copy Ichiro because it just too damn hard.
What’s up man I’m a big fan of your channel and you are the first person I come to when I need to know things about baseball gloves or just some entertainment. I hope you keep making great quality videos like this and respect the grind. I came here to ask you one question thought. What’s is the best company for catchers gloves? Also I hope your family is healthy and doing well ❤
Had a ichiro in high school, obviously it was not the a51. It was 2003, 2004. It was black outer shell with a tan palm and tan laces. And I believe it was in the MVP your prime or something like that series but even then you can tell it was a very special club and I believe back then it cost around $160. Would love to get a hold of one today
As an outfielder, I wear my glove with 2 gloves in the ring finger slot. It feels more comfortable than 2 in the pinky and more comfortable than the standard 1 in each slot. I don't know if anyone else does this but doing that is what works best for me. Y'all can try it out some day if you want LOL. It might be weird though since y'alls glove wasn't broken in with 2 in the ring finger slot unlike mine.
2 in the pink dont compare traditional doesnt mess up your balance. Thats all players preference. I didnt play outfield but i wore outfield glove 2 in pinky lol Infield, i always wanted a deep pocket still for 3rd base. I played 3rd 1st and catcher. But when they needed me on the corners thats how i had my gloves set up, and folded in my thumb and pinky. We never messed with the heel of the glove to break it in, i liked mine stiff just the fingers and pocket i wanted to break in.
It’s different for every glove! But typically two in the pinky with an open/slight flare. I like rolling my ring middle and index fingers in too The only problem with this break in is that I don’t like for it to feel too deep
Played baseball my whole life. I really don’t think glove break in style and shape for outfielders is that important. The glove just needs to be comfortable and confidence inspiring. I played mostly 3rd base and middle infield but when I was a freshman and sophomore in high school playing varsity I played a lot of outfield and I used a borrowed outfield glove since all my personal gloves were for infield. I can’t remember dropping a fly ball one time and feeling like the glove was a hindrance. Maybe a personal outfield glove with a more carefully thought out break in would have made me a tiny fraction of a percent better. But it would have made almost zero difference. Now for infield gloves that’s a different story. Glove shape has a very big impact on fielding ground balls and quick consistent transfer to the throwing hand.
im going to disagree, simply for the fact that a lot of great defenders still wear their gloves like this. Griffey, Ichiro, Gallo, and Rickey Henderson all wore their gloves traditional when they won gold gloves. not saying its better, just saying for some players its more comfortable
Why do you think you named all older athletes? I’m not arguing I’m just pointing out that this still a little new to baseball. It is a FACT that you have more strength and control when shifted over. It is not a fact that you will like it more. And if you don’t like it more you will likely not play better
@ballgloveking . Gallo isnt an older athlete, also im naming those guys because they were defensive wizards, one of which the glove you got was designed for. They arent the only ones, just the ones i know off the top of my head. Still, if Ichiro breaks in his glove traditional im no questioning it
Hey Chris I was wondering if you could review a Rawlings heart of the hide Gary Sanchez model I’ve been seeing a lot of them and I was thinking about getting one my self.. or any Rawlings heart of the hide catchers mitt or pro preferred
holy hell! this is your funniest video all time... the pitching machine! (why not just face it? stand behind home plate...safer than sideways...) then to let loose grimace all over the glove with the quick cut....! chef's kiss!
That’s what I’m thinking I already have the 12.75 for outfield but I need a infield one, I love the glove to just wondering if it’s worth trying Wilson
@ballgloveking - I hope you see this! Just picked up this haga a51 in Japan! So would you recommend breaking it in 2 in the pinky still? Or just stick with traditional if it pretty much closed thumb to pinky/ring finger?
I have a glove that was my uncles in high school he unfortunately passed away in a car crash due to slippery roads i would love it if you could restore it. If you decide that you would do it could you please reply to me where to send it I would like the glove released with orange laces it was his favorite color and I would like you to fix the inside it is a black glove and it stains my hand black when I put it on You don’t have to I would just really like it if you did Thanks from me, Brody 😃👍
I asked this dude for a glove donation ☝🏼 glove matter fact I’m lying it wasn’t even a donation because I offered to buy FOR a kid that came from Dominican Republic … He said he didn’t have any… Crazy huh how he’s shipping a glove for a kid smh

The ending made me cry
We NEED a Rawlings catchers (especially a pp)mitt review they are incredible.
Yeah and more catchers mitts in general but he still puts out bangers
@@snipezz_310 agreed
We need a marrucci glove review!!!
Pleaseeee
did he just have the grimace shake
You are my favorite channel please post more often
I started wearing 3 in the pinky last year and it feels dope.
That’s how I’ve always done it. Best control and less stingers.
Bro what? Is that even possible
@@Susbus69wilsons have nice big finger stalls so you can loosen the pinky one and go pretty hard
it only feels like butt in gloves with narrow pinky finger stalls
@@Susbus69 A lot of OFers in the MLB do that so it's not new.
LESSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BALL GLOVE KING GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Great video all the way up to that last part. You officially went from a fielder to a hurler!!!!
The ending! 😂🤣🤣👌🏽
Didn’t know you are the ball king
Will you please break in my next glove I have no idea how to do it and the last one I tried to do was a bad break in
we need a Corey Seager break in

Also have you tried Soto gloves? They are pretty nice I have an 11.5 one hinge style USA Soto glove
hasn’t hit on the mexican gloves 😔
I just ordered that same red A2K a couple days ago! So glad it looks nice in person lol
My school uses that pitching machine for live abs and it is terrifying
Waiting on that nokona review
As soon as I saw you drinking that Grimace shake, I thought to myself "That thing would wreck my stomache".
Would you break in a Rawlings HOH Pro 200 with 2 hinges for an 11u P/3B/OF?
That's oddly specific 😂
We need a Nokona glove review

As an outfielder, I put three in the pinky. And believe me it’s not crazy. It makes the glow close to the pinky almost with every single glove.
Holy exit velo of 50
What is your favorite way to form a infield glove. Specifically MIF
He has a ton of videos on that
@@ILikeBaseball well, what’s the form??
It’s different for every glove!
But typically two in the pinky with an open/slight flare. I like rolling my ring middle and index fingers in too
The only problem with this break in is that I don’t like for it to feel too deep
@@ballgloveking I used a slightly modified Matt champman break in for the a2k spin control. Do u think that would be good for shortstop??
Will u make more catchers mitt vids bc I’m recovering from knee surgery and that would make it a lot easier❤❤❤

I have to wear my outfield glove traditional because if I go 2 in the pink, the ball just falls out through the top of the fingers.
prob a problem with the glove then 😕
@@joelj7279 well it was broken in traditional but i broke it in again to where now i can go both and the ball wont fall out
Can we get a review on Akadema gloves?
can you do a rawlings yadier molina model mitt
Yadi is the best catcher of all time and also my favorite player
So sad he retired
Just get an all star
I wear my glove two in the pinky, but one of the fingers is someone else's.
Can you recommend a infield glove from 150 dollars to 200 dollars please?
Even a bit cheaper as well at 130 dollars to 200
eBay all day
I’ve always hated people who don’t wear their gloves like it’s supposed to be
ok bro nobodys forcing you to like anyone or wear your glove a certain way
@@joelj7279 did say anyone was? Just voicing my opinion or commenting on it
@@Susbus69ur mom is wut i use for a glove and i put 2 in the pinkie, the rest in the stinkie

I just ordered a Mizuno Haga Sandstorm 12.75 modified trapeze, NWT. $400 CAD (less than $300 USD), 50% off. I don't need it, but I couldn't resist.
Day 5 of asking for more 1st base glove content especially a list on the website
holy hell! this is your funniest video all time... the pitching machine! (why not just face it? stand behind home plate...safer than sideways...) then to let loose grimace all over the glove with the quick cut....! chef's kiss!
Do a review over the Warstic IK3 infield glove please 😭😭
Can you please review the ascension Marucci series infield
any chance on viper gloves, marucci, louisville?
Can you do a review on WILSON A2000 MAY 2019 GLOVE OF THE MONTH 1716 LIMITED EDITION 11.5"
Can you review Marucci capitol series?
You should do a vid on the all star system seven infield glove
Dude, use the baseball feeder tube rather than the softball one and the machine will be more accurate. Just sayin'
Do jazz Chisholm break in pls respond yes😢
What happened to the softball videos bro?
How does that mitt compare to the A2K KP92?
Can you do a burley glove review
Jazz Chisholm Break in next please
Hey trying to find a good glove under 100$ what do you recommend, I’m debating between the Rawlings sandlot series and the Wilson A950
Get the sandlot fs I’ve used both gloves and the sandlot is better
Sandlot is so nice
That’s what I’m thinking I already have the 12.75 for outfield but I need a infield one, I love the glove to just wondering if it’s worth trying Wilson
@@travisethridge9719 Rawlings Is better in every way
👍🏼
Should have 1810ss on the title. Great video.
Did u make it past high school
😂😂
What’s your favorite color way in a heart of the hide non custom?

Where did you get the glove mallet?

Can you review the ssk z7 11.5 model?
@ballgloveking - I hope you see this! Just picked up this haga a51 in Japan! So would you recommend breaking it in 2 in the pinky still? Or just stick with traditional if it pretty much closed thumb to pinky/ring finger?
Lol. I put mine two in the pinky and finger out still. Im lost clearly
I’m surprised no one is using a 4 finger design yet
Heard ur in the derby
Seems like Rawlings is #1 in most of your lists, but you talk about and use Wilson more…. Would like to see you use more Rawlings for comparison.
Love it keep it up
You good💀😂😂😭😭
Wtf happened there at the end? Also, weary means tired, wary means cautious. Just had to say it. Drives me nuts when people swap the two.
I have a glove that was my uncles in high school he unfortunately passed away in a car crash due to slippery roads i would love it if you could restore it. If you decide that you would do it could you please reply to me where to send it
I would like the glove released with orange laces it was his favorite color and I would like you to fix the inside it is a black glove and it stains my hand black when I put it on
You don’t have to I would just really like it if you did
Thanks from me, Brody 😃👍
Want to trade Rawlings Heart of the Hide 12 inch pro566SB-3b, new with tags
The 1810 is so slender, narrow and Wilsons slapping that Super Skin on everything i dont like it…
I don't think some of you watched to the end
My glove is so 🧱
Grimace shake⚰️
No way two in the pinky allows you more control to move your arms around.... It helps with a pocket but that's about it.
No way u got cut from ur softball team
💯 like oh yaaaaa
I asked this dude for a glove donation ☝🏼 glove matter fact I’m lying it wasn’t even a donation because I offered to buy FOR a kid that came from Dominican Republic … He said he didn’t have any… Crazy huh how he’s shipping a glove for a kid smh
Day#3 of asking for you to review the 1975 A2000
He hates shoes
Was that real?
Your comments are pretty lame. You’re critiquing one of the best outfielders ever.
Ichiro has the skills to overcome suboptimal equipment and techniques. No one watching the video is good enough to
Mizunos made in Haga Japan is great but the ones made in China are crap.
Mizuno MVP Prime FTW
I have the a51. I love it
First! Ur my favorite channel!
