So I just followed these directions to break in a new softball catcher's mitt and outfield glove from your previous video. OMG! It worked like a charm. I used the hot water, mallet, 5 lb dumbbell, shorty bat, and put them in the car. It was 90 degrees today. My daughter had the biggest smile on her face when we played catch today. Amazing! Thank you.
Thanks coach! My 10 year old son is adamant about learning to be a good catcher and getting his mitt game ready is an awesome start! Appreciate the info!
So I just got my 1st ever catchers mitt and watched this video it was easily the best thing I could have done to break it in thanks coach you helped alot
Hey Coach! Thanks for making these videos! I've used these videos now to break in my son's glove, and now I've used this one break in a catcher mitt for one of the catchers on my team who though he had it broken in from one of the big chain sports stores, but I took the new mitt and had it floppy and poppy in less that 8 hours by using this technique!
I made an account just to comment that I followed this video step by step when I bought my daughter a catchers mitt. Just like the other comments on here it worked better than I could of imagined! it took about 45 minutes to an hour from getting it wet to placing in the dash of my truck, this time included making a softball mallet as well. My daughter LOVES the POP so much, she is so excited to take it to practice and see what her pitchers think. Thanks for the awesome video!
Just like he said, “Everyone has their own routine”. (For breaking in a glove) I personally box my catchers mitt and don’t like it to be collapsed. But this is his way that works for him. Nice vid.
@@ricardocervantes7203 i think he means not leaving it flat so it turns into a pancake. when you leave it straight up, it stays stiffer, lasting longer

Teagan Seguin thank you so much for the love!! The goal is to help as many people as possible. I will keep you posted when we do another catchers mitt video. Thank you again.
Love the video! Pulled some ideas from this to help me with breaking in my daughter's new FastPitch catcher's mitt. First time I've watched you - great work!
Thank coach! It's my son's birthday next week and I got him a new catchers glove. Its not a Rawlings but a Wilson A2000 M1 with the superskin. He plays travel ball. I will use your method for breaking it in. Thanks again coach!!!
Just wanted to say that I tried this process and it worked perfectly. The glove came out almost completely broken in and ready to go. I was admittedly a little worried about getting it wet in the shower, but when I wiped off some of the excess water and followed the directions given in the video, everything worked out. The only difference is that instead of putting the glove in the car, I used self-sticking wrap tape to wrap up the glove and let it dry on the window sill inside the house for 24 hours. When I unwrapped it, it was really nice and broken in with a good pocket.
I have been using my catchers mitt since I was in 7th grade I am in my 2nd year of college right now. I just ordered a new one and this video was super helpful. I do get sad because I love my old glove, but its time has come :(
This is my first time breaking in a catcher's mitt, and this is so helpful! You obviously know way more than the people who respond and say you are wrong. You always just respond with "Thanks for the comment, bro." Why don't you tell them why their wrong?
Dray Snyder thanks man because I am not here to argue with anyone. I have love for everyone that take the time to see the video and leave a comment. The video speaks for itself you either agree or don’t. That’s how I view this.
Another great video!!! I have my girls in 10u and this will be key in making them not only catching the ball, but keeping the ball in their gloves! Still scrolling though looking for the infielders glove. Lol Thanks again for these great great videos!!
BlocBaby D listen know it all, you can break in a glove many ways, not just one. I wouldn’t do this method either, but it’s for one day, how to break it in as fast as possible
Just got a pro preferred yesterday and I did everything in the video and it is so good! The form is great, deep nice pocket and pretty broken in. I’ll give this video a solid 10/10!🔥🔥
@@CoachHP I was mostly a bench warmer but I played center field if we had a good enough lead on the other team (that was in 1970). Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the detail and explanation you put into this tutorial. It has been extremely helpful in getting the most out of the investment I have put into gloves.
My favorite catchers mitt is the rawlings renagade super nice glove and pretty afordable like 60 dollars long lasting I have had that glove since I was 8 now I am 22 super nice catchers mitt .
im not an advocate of the hot water method, and if you arent either you can do the same thing but with glove oil. the only issue with glove oil is you have to pay for it, and the good and trusted oils cost more. the hot water method also softens it better and wont darken lighter colours. if you want to do it naturally it can take a lot longer time, usually a month (i take a full year on catchers mitts) but still works
For all of you saying he’s breaking the glove in wrong listen There’s no one right way to break in a glove, there’s a million different ways to do it and everyone’s is slightly different He also isn’t doing anything actually wrong with the glove, hot water treatment is super common and doesn’t damage the glove like people say it does, and flattening the glove doesn’t stretch the glove out and mess it up it simply loosens the leather
awesome video. I got a rawlings pro preferred catchers mitt and mike trout glove. How do I get my gloves to this outstanding gentleman to get them broken in. Thank You so much
i just break it in slowly so it forms to my hand and never flatten the glove bc then itll turn into a pancake over time. Break in a catchers mitt with the box shape. It makes the pocket super big and makes it easier to catch the baseball. With the box shape you always know where the ball will bc it just falls into the same spot of the pocket each time
@@CoachHP ofc i just wanna inform people on the different way and my opinion better way to break in a catchers mitt. This method is used by all the pro catchers and i think its the best way to break in a catchers mitt
did all the major stuff you guys did in breaking in a 1st baseman's glove for my grandson. old guy down the street suggested using shaving cream to soften the leather. glove came out perfectly
A baseball glove is a love hate thing. Love it when you pick it off the shelf. Hate it when you try using it the first time. Love it after it’s broke in. Hate it when it’s time to retire it and get another
amazing guys.. Thanks Nick your insight is amazing.. We are in Broward and would like to come meet you guys at Lox some time. keep up the great videos.. your break in technique is killer and I already broke in a glove for my son and shared your info already to our whole team and baseball friends!!
The only thing that should feel broken in truly is the pocket where your thumb inserts and the deep pocket where you receive the ball the padding on both sides of the deep pocket should remain thick and stiff or an easier attempt at blocking the ball and keeping everything in front of you. Great video
I made a glove mallet out of an old base ball a 5" screw and a piece of dowel. Cost me maybe $5. I've had it for 12 years and it's broken in 100's of little league gloves for players on my kids teams.
Great informative video- I found an old, but still brand new Nokona catchers mitt that my dad had given me- never used it. My son has been breaking it in lately and using it?? Wasn’t dried out and still looked new.. any good you think??
Get one the sandfilled balls and actually have glove or mitt on hand and watch tv while throwing into pocket over and over...then leave ball in it over night with it tied up! You can break in a mitt and pocket be good and still not pancake when throw it on ground!
Yes you can but try to get a mallet if possible they are about $20. It helps shape the pocket of the glove for the exact shape of a baseball but you can also use a dumbbell
Important to add is, while receiving pitches, you close the glove with thumb and pinky. Furthermore put pinky and ring finger in the glove's pinky. I see a lot of kids squeeze the glove with full hand and ruining the pocket that way.
@@CoachHP i just bought this glove based on what i saw in your video and i love it. Im not a real player but i love collecting baseball stuff for some reason and i just go play catch and hit the ball with my kiddo. Great fun and better for him than sitting in his room playing games on a nice day. Love your videos i subbed have a good one bro
What would be different ? You want a box shape and deep pocket. This is just a great process anyway you put it for a catchers mitt. Probably the best vid on breaking in a catchers mitt. And not using any method that is bad for the fibers in long run. He’s not soaking the glove he’s not baking, nuking or steaming which are not good for gloves in the long run. Done 3 of my girls catchers mitts there are no words to describe the final product.
Great video! Would you break in a fastpitch softball catcher's mitt differently? My daughter just got a custom-made left-handed catcher's mitt from Rawlings. since the ball is quite a bit bigger I was wondering if it changed how you shaped it at all.
Coach HP, I put my son’s glove in my car where it is 100 degrees for two hours. It is still heavy with water. Did I miss a step? How should I get this dried out? Thanks
So I just followed these directions to break in a new softball catcher's mitt and outfield glove from your previous video. OMG! It worked like a charm. I used the hot water, mallet, 5 lb dumbbell, shorty bat, and put them in the car. It was 90 degrees today. My daughter had the biggest smile on her face when we played catch today. Amazing!

I agree. We just picked up our new gloves this morning both an outfielder and catchers and have started this process and so far so good

Thanks for the love bro!!
The effort and commitment
Thx brother
Good video man, I’m putting the routine on practice
Let’s gooooo
My glove still dosnt open or close for me what do i do i have a full lether mitt
What type of glove is it my man?
I made a glove mallet out of an old base ball a 5" screw and a piece of dowel. Cost me maybe $5. I've had it for 12 years and it's broken in 100's of little league gloves for players on my kids teams.
That is awesome man

thanks for the comment more like Russel Martin is in heaven that we gave it so much love
Helped a lot Great vid😊😊😊😊
Thx brother
What glove is that
Rawlings pro preferred
I use a baseball instead of a mallet, it’s basically the same thing minus the stick and it’s a little harder to be precise with but it works.
Jedidr awesome!!
Get one the sandfilled balls and actually have glove or mitt on hand and watch tv while throwing into pocket over and over...then leave ball in it over night with it tied up! You can break in a mitt and pocket be good and still not pancake when throw it on ground!
If we do not have a mallet, any other options to get the job done? Or is a mallet necessary.
Yes you can but try to get a mallet if possible they are about $20. It helps shape the pocket of the glove for the exact shape of a baseball but you can also use a dumbbell
I just bought a A2000 catchers mitt and I broke it in the first day I got it all I did to break it in was play A LOT of catch.
Awesome thank you for sharing
Important to add is, while receiving pitches, you close the glove with thumb and pinky. Furthermore put pinky and ring finger in the glove's pinky. I see a lot of kids squeeze the glove with full hand and ruining the pocket that way.

How do you recommend drying the glove when your in the cold of a New England winter?
Instead of the car try tucking the glove in a sofa or under your mattress both work well.

Love to hear to it!! Thank you
Do u think this would work on a all star mitt because all star says “don’t put any oil or liquid stuff on the glove”
It should work with any quality leather glove man, and we use just water no oils or conditioner or anything else

Great video! Would you break in a fastpitch softball catcher's mitt differently? My daughter just got a custom-made left-handed catcher's mitt from Rawlings. since the ball is quite a bit bigger I was wondering if it changed how you shaped it at all.
Thank you so much… love a lefty catcher!!
Try to get a softball mallet.
thx coach really help my catchers mitt 🤟🏻
Happy to help!
Do you only soften the leather 1 time with hot water or can this be done a couple of times?
What type of glove brother?
Actually have two. Heart of the hide and a GG Rawlings both catcher
@@HoosierDaddy2430 nice new or used?
@@CoachHP brand new
@@HoosierDaddy2430 ok last question when will he use them? Like this season next season let me know
Coach HP,
I put my son’s glove in my car where it is 100 degrees for two hours. It is still heavy with water. Did I miss a step? How should I get this dried out?
Thanks
How long did you wet it for brother and leave it in the car for 24 hours
@@CoachHP about 30 seconds. I tried matching what Christian did on the video.
@@CoachHP I left it for 2 hours. I thought that is what Christian said in video
@@lmartise leave till tomorrow then and let me know how it looks
@@CoachHP thank you Coach for the advice and very fast response.
If my catchers mitt has a crease already, is there a way I can get it out?? Thanks
It depends man what type of glove is it?
I tried to keep the crease out but it still showed up. I know for sure it is a crease though
