We have 3 different gloves with 3 different break ins. The Wilson A2000 M1D is a perfect example of a Box Break In. The All Star Pro Elite is our flat/ one hinge style break in. Then we have the Buckler that represents the Japanese break in.
Currently working on the catchers glove list

You can’t argue with that
So, I still use a Mike Piazza model catchers mitt and it FINALLY tore just under the web! Thing is old and I love it. Still use it, I teach catching and pitching mostly and I absolutely catch the pitchers I teach. Glove still holds up wonderfully to the point I've had players ask "Coach, can I borrow your catchers glove?! PLEASE?!" They love it, nothing particularly special about it that I am aware of. Just one of those mitts they all love. Mind you, some of my kids are throwing above 90. Glove was maybe $120 and maybe $150 with inflation haha. But, it is a traditional flat break in style. I remember seeing Bonito Santiago, Piazza, Pudge Rodriguez all had the same style of break in and I did that with this glove. Still kicking. All Stars are absolute money, they just feel so amazing.
the Japanese breaking but with a tighter web is what i like most. that Buckler is really nice and i think a softer glove is ideal for catching because it saves your hand from stinging more
My all star is 14 years old. Still going strong! Small tear in the webbing I noticed this year. Thats the only issue ever
I'm an old dude, used the wilson 2403 dual-hinge in the 80's and 90's. I thought the dual-hinge was better at picking up short hops and was amazing at picking up outfield throws on plays at the plate. It played more like an infielders glove than the traditional single hinge.
Yes a catchers mitt video!
That all-star is my dream glove 😢
bro one huge thing with comfort is how you catch you go from bottom to top no top to bottom and this has a huge impact on how it feels
I was actually realizing that while editing. I’m not a catcher naturally so some little things like that are still being worked on lol thank you 🙏
Catching Coach here. Here’s the thing with the 2 in the ring style that many are using. When you do this you are very much so changing your pocket timing. You are leveraging the pitch from a slightly deeper position. In my experience this position isn’t quite as strong. Name of the game from a receiving standpoint is controlling the ball out in front. From a traditional wear style this should be a little easier. The trade off you’re making when you use the two in the ring vs the traditional is that it is easier to show pocket to the ball because you don’t have to pry your hand as open to show the pocket. However it may be more difficult to leverage the pitch out in front.
One way to avoid the stingers from a traditional wear is by pointing your index finger out (not making contact with the glove) and clamp it down as you close down on the ball.
Very good points, thank you!
I never used my index...i didn "pitch" or "thumb up" to close mitt...i let the ball hitting naturally "cup" my middle to pinker finger down around the ball! That causes the pop and no stinker on pointer!
Used a 32.5” Wilson A2000 and the Rawlings PP throughout HS and College. Wish I used the 34” All Star now. Just a better glove and my thumb wouldn’t be in the forever trashed state it is in now. If I just bump my thumb the wrong way it feels like I just got jammed from a 94 mph fastball.
BGK PLEASE READ: I think before you make the catchers glove list which I am looking forward to, try a pro preferred catchers mitt. I see a majority of mlb catchers using the pp, Barnhart, Realmuto, Sanchez, etc. I have a cm33 pattern one and it feels incredible. The cm33 and cm43 are the most common Rawlings catchers patterns. The do best with a hybrid style break in with bending just the toe in similar to the Japan style. Please consider the pp catchers mitts which I think are superior to the other brands, especially in the shape. Thank you you’re my favorite yt channel!
I just got a 44 mitt thx for the post
I use a rawlings cm33 pattern I have a sandlot (amazing leather for the price) and a game day 57 Tucker Barnhart pro preferred. I do a half box half flat two in the ring finger
Same. I really like the hybrid break in…prior to the pitch, I really shape it box style, but I naturally catch the ball with a flat squeeze. My glove in college was a pro preferred (grey/black circa 2005…didn’t realize I’m that old) and I’ve bought various All Stars and 44s recently. I still find myself going back to that pro preferred. Perfect balance between shape and pocket…
@@BirdgangAndBats same I shape it like a box but close like a flat it’s perfect
This new catching stance is wild to me
Hey Ballglove king could we get a updated how to brake in a first base mitt video? I have a 44 coming in soon and I really want a nice shape and deep pocket.
The All Star naturally has a smaller pocket. Even with a box break-in, it’s more shallow than a Wilson or Rawlings.
Exactly why I’m shifting with it but not the other gloves 👌
All star is and forever will be the goat of catchers mitts
I love the flat break it, I love how it feels
Would love to see you review all stars normal gloves and first base mitts
You should try a rawling heart if the hide Gary Sanchez model
Pardon my ignorance, what does "extended pocket/palm" mean for catchers mitts? This term was used in the description of All-Star CM3000 pocket design. Thank you.
all star Pro Elite is the perfect mitt for my hand
When will we see a2k vs pro preferred. 😢
Day 1 of asking for cathers gloves on the list
How much would it cost to send my glove in to you because any time I do it I mess it up and make the palm and break in really bad
Hey ball glove king,
I recommend pro preferred vs. A2K I know that vid would do insane pro preferred and the a2k are both regarded as the best gloves, so it would be like a king vs king battle, and who better to do that vid then the BALL GLOVE 👑 KING 👑
Thank you

Could you make a video on the DW5? I just got a custom DW5 and want to know how to properly form it. Thanks
This confuses me, I caught my whole life through college, have used both the all star elite and a2000, and the Rawlings HOH which is my least favorite but I actually think you see most often behind the plate in the MLB and college these days.. but, my favorite by far is the Wilson a2000, and if you google reviews on it you'll find MLB catchers that won't use anything but the Wilson a2000, those that do use it seem to really really prefer it, which is how I became.. I caught all growing up, started varsity my sophomore year in the outfield, but besides that caught through both high school and college, have tried everything.. and I don't think anyone makes a better catchers mitt than Wilson.. that said, I know the all star elite is popular among college and pro catchers, but I always heard and understood that it was because they liked a lighter glove, one thing Ive heard at least one guy I played against who preferred it say, that the low ball he found easier to frame with it.. which I never found to be the case, even low balls I'd rather catch with the a2000.. but I do remember one guy saying that... but I mean Ive used both and known lots who have and have always thought of the all star to be more game ready when new, it's definitely lighter, but it won't last as long as either the Rawlings HOH or Wilson a2000.. Both are heavier and have what I'd consider nicer leather compared to the all star. Those that prefer the all star do so because it's lighter I've always heard, and takes less breaking in.. so the opposite of what your seemingly saying. I like the all star, but both the a2000 and HOH will last longer I'm pretty certain of that, and if you prefer it early, I'm guessing you always will.. again, I prefer the Rawlings HOH fielding gloves over Wilson's, but imo, no one makes a better catchers mitt than Wilson's a2000!
Love your vids for your break ins you should try blackrock conditioner.
Hey, I play shortstop and outfield (but mostly outfield) I like Rawlings and mizuno what glove should I get 250$ or under?
Can you please review the A2000 1975, it’s the glove I use in the outfield
Day 3 of asking for more first base glove content, especially a list on the website
Hey man I love your videos do u think u can do a heart of the hide vs a2k
What glove stiffness do you use for your pro 44 infield glove
With the Wilson i feel like my thumb is being hammerd constantly, is that common with a box breakin?
I’m a catcher and am getting a new mitt soon and was wondering if with the Wilson you we’re getting stingers or not as with my current mitt I always get stingers ❤
Shouldn't get any stingers if your receiving gets better.
@@danschilling5863 what do you mean by that
Manfred is the type of person who when presented with a decision, will always make the incorrect one.
Can you make a video about Corey Seager model
hey can you do a review on rawlings gold glove butter and how to use it
i have small size hands (am only 5ft 9 or 10) I thought about a pro cm33 but I think i will get an m1d.. its cheaper and should fit my hand better
Should I get a 574 or ex-10 for 3rd base. I’m gunna get a 11.75 so I don’t want it to be to deep but I don’t want it shallow
If you’re in HS var or above a 44 mit will last you abt a district ir conference season once broken in that’s it
Sounds like it's All Star with a box break in to me.
Who's Mitch? We want to know.
Do you have any suggestions on a catchers mitt I should get? I’m in high school
What price are you looking for, because that makes a big difference in what you should get
@@ILikeBaseball are $300 or so
@@jack17.L heart of the hides or a2000, but if you can find an all star on sale, those are, from what I’ve heard, the best catchers mitts out there
All Star is expensive but they are great. Otherwise that A2000 M1D would be great for high school ball. I wouldn’t exactly love it for any level higher than high school though
First comment I’m a catcher and luv ur vids
We need Elly de la Cruz glove breakdown
Can you show us how to do a flat breakin?
W
Can you make a flat glove into a box
⚾️
The weird RUclips stuff again says that you commented before the vid was posted😂
I’m over here trying to clean my screen but I think it’s just the focus of this video
Can you review 200 Rawlings patern
He did
Still waiting on the nokona review
bro looks like Spider-Man when he catches
😂
Can you post the rawlings pro lite
Should I do the Matt Chapman break in on my 1786 a2k spin control???
If you like a deep pocket, then it is good but if you don’t then definitely don’t do it
@@ILikeBaseball I’m talking about the ball glove king’s break in video
@@OfficialTylerHerro yeah I know I’m saying that it depends on how you like your glove formed, and weather you like a shallow or deep pocket
@@ILikeBaseball I tightened the finger lace to make a shallower pocket. Also I hit just under the two laces below the web to make a shallow pocket. I play mid inf
Make another 44
I wear 3 in the pinky so I have like a deep pocket
hi
Why did you not remake this vid 💀 most of the vid isn’t cut with the whole shot being out of focus
Advice from a catcher, never get a 44 catchers glove, they legit suck

Nothing fits a human hand worse than an ALL STAR catchers mitt. The crazy steep angle of the wrist opening in concert with the absurdly useless ( to far forward/ loose) thumb loop is a recipe for thumb injury. I have tried two different "pro elite" mitts and yikes. Not sure who designed the thing and less sure how it is expected to be successfully used in real life. Folks if you catch balls behind home plate more than 2 or three times a year do yourself a favor and get a Rawlings pro preferred or HOH. I say that as a lifelong HOH user turned Wilson a2k/(occasionally) a2000 type of fielder. Cant speak for the more boutique brands, I'm sure there are some fine examples. Note: Would give up Sunday couch time for a month for a Wilson Staff mitt.
What are you gonna shave bro? The beard does not look good on you.
