Hilarious for someone like me to discover how in depth this gets. My kid is starting tee-ball soon and I need a glove so I can play catch with him. I have serious buying decisions to make 😂
Thanks for the comment! If you want a couple solid options to check out for a dad, I would recommend typing the below gloves into the JustGloves site...
- Wilson A1000 12.5" Baseball Glove: WTA10RB20KP92
- Shoeless Joe Professional 12" Baseball Glove: 1200BW
literally in the same boat as you haha
@@SFRR22D Thanks for the comment. Did you get to check out either of the 2 gloves suggested above? Did you need more suggestions?
@@JustGloves I'll take some extra suggestions please. Just wanted a decent all-rounder glove for me and my 10 year old to practice catching - just for backyard fun (no league where we live in Aus), so maybe some solid budget cheaper options to the above? Thanks
@@noly139 Certainly! Happy to help! Are you looking for a catcher's mitt (to catch your son when he's pitching) or just a glove to have a game of catch with?
Excellent video and great explanations! Thanks. 👍🏽⚾
Helpful video , thanks 👍
Thank you so much for making this video!! I was unsure about what size i needed for a utility position and what web type i needed before i ordered a new one. Really appreciate it man
Sorry for the delayed response! Glad we could help you out. Let us know if you have questions in the future!
Helpfull video! Informative, to the point and simple yet had depth. Earned a like and a sub.
Sorry for my broken english, not first language
Thank you for the kind words! Let us know if you have questions in the future!
This was a huge help thank you
Thank you for the kind words! Let us know if you need anything else!
Cool video 👍
Right on bro
this was very helpful, sry for replying to an older post but, my grandson is 8 and needs a "real glove" we decided based on the information here on the SURE CATCH 10.5-INCH KRIS BRYANT SIGNATURE YOUTH GLOVE from Rawlings (really Mizuno and Rawlings are the only real competitors here...the others are way too expensive for this category), the only other real choice here was the Mizuno Prospect series... which if not for the influence of Grandpa we probably would have got.
We're happy to hear that our video was helpful in your search for the perfect glove. If you have any additional questions, don't hestitate to contact our Glove Experts at 866-321-4568 or send us an email at experts@justgloves.com. We're here for you from Click To Catch!
Very well explained
Thank you for the compliment. Let us know if you have any questions!
I have small hands and I use a left handed bat because I'm left handed. Would I be able to use a right handed glove? I'd just be using it for fun like playing catch what would you reccomend?
I already have a pitcher glove, which is my primary position, but recently my coach has been throwing me in at second so I think I might need a new glove for it. Do you have any suggestions? Btw Currently I am using a Wilson gold glove with a basket net.
Can a player 13-15 years old use a 12 inch Basket Web Glove for infield and outfield?
정말멋집니다
Great, informative video. I have an 8 year old son who plays outfield and third base. He played last season with a Mizuno 11inch Prospect Power Close. Would like to upgrade in quality without breaking the bank. Could you provide me a couple of suggestions?
Thanks for the question!
Yes, I think a glove like an 11.5" Rawlings R9 might be a good option to consider. Type the product name below into the JustGloves site to check out this glove:
Rawlings R9 Series 11.5" Youth Baseball Glove: R9YPT4-4B
Also, here is an 11.5" Rawlings glove in their Select Pro Lite Series. This glove won't be an incredible jump up in quality from the Mizuno Prospect, but it does feature a more "professional" look to it when compared to the Prospect glove. Type the product name below into the JustGloves site:
Rawlings Select Pro Lite Lindor 11.5" Youth Baseball Glove: SPL150FL
I play mostly outfield and I sometimes play third and shortstop. Should I get a H-web glove or a modified trap web glove?
Thank you for the question! Webs are typically just a personal preference of the player using the glove. Outside of the pitcher's mound (where a pitcher will probably benefit from using a glove with more of a closed web), you really can just select which glove has a web that you think looks the coolest!
I got a really small hand and play pitcher, what size would you recommend?
I might recommend a glove like the following: Rawlings R9 Series 12" Baseball Glove (R9206-9BSG). You can look it up on our site. It features a closed webbing for a pitcher and softer leather. This specific R9 comes at the regular wrist setting, but you can unlace the wrist lace after you receive it and make it tighter if needed. Let me know if you have more questions!
Im 13 will a modified trap eze 11.5 glove fit my hand my hand is skiney and not to big
13 years old is usually when we start to recommend the gloves designed for high school and adult hands. Even if the glove is a little large in its fit at the start, you should grow into the fitting of the glove pretty soon.
Here is one to check out that should be able to work for multiple years of use in the 11.5" length with a modified T-web.
If you were to get the glove and the fit was larger than you hoped at the beginning, you could cinch up the wrist lacing to make the glove tighter.
Im 13 and I primarily play outfield, but sometimes I play other positions as well. would a 12" glove with an H-web be a good choice?
Thanks for the question. If you feel like outfield is a position where you are likely to specialize and you just play very sparingly on the infield, my suggestion would be to get an outfield style glove that is larger at 12.5". It will be a little cumbersome on the infield, but if you only play there every now and then, it shouldn't be a huge deal. A glove to consider might be the Wilson A1000 12.5" Baseball Glove [WTA10RB20KP92].
Hey I might not of heard you but I’m a first baseman and I don’t know what my next glove should be
Thanks for the question! Take a look at this link to see if there are any 1B gloves that catch your eye at JustGloves: www.justballgloves.com/products/sub%20type~first%20base/
im 14, 6ft 150 pounds. i play outfield. would 12.5 h web be ok for me?
Yes, I think that would work extremely well for you! Let us know if you need suggestions!
What kind of glove would you suggest for a lefty first baseman
Thanks for the question! How old is the ballplayer we're searching for?
@@JustGloves im 13
@@yeboydillon8322 Thanks for getting back to us. You are right at the age where getting a mitt that is more adult sized mitt would be a good decision. A larger fitting mitt will prevent you from having to buy another mitt in a season or two. A solid 1B mitt to consider would be the following: Mizuno MVP Prime 12.50". You can can check it out at this link: www.justballgloves.com/product/2019-mizuno-mvp-prime-12-50--baseball-first-base-mitt--gxf50pb3/30870/
hey i’m pretty new to the sport but i’m looking to play in the outfield but i’m not too sure yet
i’m 14 (15 in january, not sure if it makes a difference)
and pretty big hands, my middle finger is about 3.5 inches long
Thanks for the message. I would definitely recommend a glove that is 12.5" in length for you. Here is more of a high cost option to look up: Wilson A2000 12.5" Baseball Glove: WTA20RB19KP92. Here is a lower cost option: Mizuno Select 9 12.50'' Baseball Glove: GSN1250
.
@@JustGloves Thanks for the reply.
@@JustGloves and quick question, are the gloves you listed suitable to play all positions, because i’m not 100% sure on what i would like to play yet. thanks and sorry for the trouble.
@@pikwells7141 Thanks for the response. No worries at all. Those gloves will be made for the outfield specifically. You could use them in the infield, but typically you will want a little smaller glove for infield. 12.25" gloves usually work well across the field. Here is a 12.25" glove to check out: Rawlings Pro Label 5 Heart of the Hide 12.25" Baseball Glove (PROKB17-6R). If you want a 12.25" that is lower in cost, check out this glove: Rawlings Encore 12.25" Baseball Glove (EC1225-6BW). This glove might be a little small for you as you continue to grow!
@@JustGloves thank you
Is there a specific type/position glove that's best JUST for tossing the ball around/back & forth in the yard, not for actual game play?
Thanks for the question! Yes, I usually think a 12.00" length of glove is excellent for simply playing catch. Not too small, but not too large. Who are you buying for? Did you have a price range for the purchase? [I can try to narrow down a selection for you]
@@JustGloves Hello, thank you so much for replying. The glove would be for me. Since these crazy times are calling for social distancing, I thought a ball toss with my friend(s) in the park/yard would accommodate that & good way to stay active while enjoying the summer sun . I've not played since I was a young girl in school so just looking for a comfortable glove that's not too expensive. It will probably live its life in the back of my Jeep, ready for any impromptu game of catch that strikes my fancy...LOL
@@rhondas7941 Sounds like an excellent plan. Here is a 12" glove with a snugger fit that should work well for a female hand: [www.justballgloves.com/product/rawlings-r9-series-12--fastpitch-softball-glove--r9sb120-3db/30157/]. It is a pretty soft glove. But every now and then we get someone saying that they think it is stiff. I imagine that if you were willing to set aside an hour or two to pound the pocket of the glove with a baseball or softball, you could get it soft enough where it will work for the use you are describing.
@@JustGloves Oh NO, the link doesn't work :(
@@rhondas7941 Ahh. Sorry about that. Go over to JustGloves and type in "Rawlings R9 Series 12" Fastpitch Softball Glove: R9SB120-3DB". That should bring it up for you!
Im 12 5‘8 and 180 lbs with decent sized hands
What glove would you recommend
I would say that you are probably ready for an adult fitting glove. If you wanted to step up to some more high quality gloves, the A2000s from Wilson or the Heart of the Hides from Rawlings would be solid choices to consider. What position do you play?
Hello! I am 14 and I primarily play outfield. Also, I sometimes play infield occasionally. I am 5’7 and about 125 pounds. Do you have any suggestions for a glove that would be good for me? (A Wilson glove)
Thank you for the question. If you were ready for the move to a high-quality glove, I would recommend an A2000. A longer 12.50" or 12.75" glove should do the job if outfield is where you'll stay for the most part. An A2000 would be a glove that might be able to last you all the way through high school if you take good care of it. Copy this glove name and type it into the JustGloves site to look it up...
Wilson A2000 1799 12.75" Baseball Glove: WBW1000941275
Thank you!! Would a Rawlings Heart of the hide glove be better than an A2000? Just wondering because people have told me that is a good option too.
@@laser9975 Heart of the Hide gloves and A2000s are pretty similar in regard to quality. I would have a hard time saying that either is 100% better than the other. If you ended up going with a Heart of the Hide or A2000, I think you would be happy with your selection!
What fit gloves for me
Im 13 year old
My middle finger 3inches
My position is pitcher
Thanks for the comment. I would probably recommend going with a 12" glove that has a closed web since you are a pitcher. At 13 years old, you can probably seek out an adult fitting glove so that you can use it the longest. Here is one to look up on our site (Rawlings Heart of the Hide 12" Baseball Glove: PRO206-9T
).
Nice ad for Wilson ,but there are other great gloves such as Rawlings Pro Preferred, Heart of the Hide, Mizuno,… not everyone will want Wilson.
You're correct, there were a lot of Wilson gloves in there. However, we agree with you that there are a lot more gloves out there than just Wilson models. We apologize if you felt we were trying to sway you to Wilson over other brands.
I got small hand who mostly plays outfield... What shall I get
And just play with my buddies
@@FunnyAsian00 Thanks for the questions! An A900 would be a great glove to consider. You can type in the following name and code into JustGloves: [Wilson A900 12.5" Baseball Glove: WTA09RB20125]. We only have the left-hand thrower available currently. Let us know if you need a right-hand thrower and I can look deeper for you!
If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit
Haha love it!
Mine is 14...it's that crazy large?
A 14" glove actually isn't bad to have if it is being used for the correct purpose! Typically, the 14" gloves are reserved for use in slow pitch softball [Baseball technically doesn't allow for a glove larger than 13 inches to be used. However, I don't know if umpires regularly check ballglove lengths]. Since the softball is so large, the ball won't get lost in the long length of the glove and since slow pitch players are typically a little older, the extra length can assist in making some plays that might otherwise not get made.
@@JustGloves thank info...
As recreational player u think Wilson A2000 or rawlings R2G would last me life tone worth good care?
@@centermass5330 The better bet for lasting a lifetime would be the A2000. If you take care of the leather on that glove, it should last a long time! R9s are solid and if you are only playing recreationally, there is a shot is could cover you a long time, but it would be hard to say that you'll never have to buy another glove.
@@JustGloves thanks for the reply I want get one the blem ones I have hard time paying 300$ for glove..but I also look at it like if I get 1 that will last it worth it
@@centermass5330 Thanks for the comment. Yes, the A2K Blems are really high quality. If you got one of those as a recreational player, you most likely would never need to buy another glove as long as you took good care of the glove!
I'm 11 and play 3rd base is 11.75 too big?
Thanks for the question! If the 11.75" glove at which you are looking has snug fit, then it will be fine for use for you. However, if it has an adult fitting, then it will probably be too large and slip off your hand. (Fitting will be the biggest thing. I think you'll be just fine with the 11.75" length)
@@JustGloves but can I just tighten the wrist then?
@@thalespereira7959 Yes, if you were comfortable just tightening up the wrist on an adult fitting glove; then you would be able to make it fit better on your hand. It might be a little roomy in the finger stalls, but tightening the wrist should make the glove feel snugger on your hand.
Thanks! I'm thinking about buying the mizuno mvp prime 11.75 inch I web
@@thalespereira7959 Sounds excellent! For what you are wanting, I believe that should work for you.
There's only one glove to own; Nokona. It's the only one American made.
they overprice it because it’s made in america
@@bearsreview5389 you need to support American workers and their families.
a isn’t rich
i just want to hit the ball.
If you want the bat that will help you crush a baseball, check out our best friend JustBats...www.justbats.com/
but im 10 and i play shortstop
Thanks for the question. If you are playing fastpitch, I might recommend something between an 11.25" length and 12.00" length to it. Here is an 11.25" glove to consider...[Shoeless Jane 11.25" Fastpitch Softball Glove: 1125FPCW]. Type that glove name into the JustGloves site to view the glove!
The FIRST and foremost factor in making any decision is the cost, everything else is relative. If you can’t afford the bigger and better glove, force your hand in… it may mean eating or not eating tonight. What is the most you are willing to spend just to toss a ball around with your children? The next thing is healthcare, since we have no universal healthcare in this country, like other more advanced industrial nations… do you really want to be tossing hard baseballs at your children?
What I can not understand is all of this nonsense they are spouting. A proper glove size should depend on the size of the hand for proper fitment just like anything else, not the age of the player. There are kids who have bigger hands than adults, and vice versa. The spacing and reach of the fingers and the width of the palm and sizing of the thumb is far more important. Where is the data on measuring the length of the fingers, the width of the hand, the breast of the thumb muscles etc. Nothing about actual sizing and measurements. Absurd.
