Great glove, especially for the price…. Very easy to break in for my son who ’s 8yrs old, fits his hand perfect. Couple of the other kids on his team used his glove and immediately went and bought their own. The only bad part is, he ’ ll grow out of it in about 2- 3yrs because of small opening for the hand, but that ’s what makes this glove perfect for kids.

5 Grampajay
Bought for grandson who decided he wanted to try catching like his dad. He wanted to catch 100 balls a day for awhile, and he really likes the glove and the position. The day I bought it, I approached one of the guys asking for a youth catchers mitt. He clicks his phone a little and takes me right to the two choices. THEN he proceeds to toss a few balls to my grandson! He liked the glove. And I appreciate the employee! Thank you Dicks!

5 Curtloc2
This is a perfect glove for a young softball player trying to figure out if the position is right for them. The cost is low so you aren ’ t invested too heavily financially. And as catchers gloves goes, this comes fairly broken in so the player doesn ’ t get frustrated with the inability to squeeze a pitch would recommend for this scenario.

Bought this glove over a month ago and so far it has been reliable and easy broken in to.

5 Grandson gift
I purchased the A500 as a gift for my grandson. He plays catcher on a U9 select baseball team and wanted his own mitt. He has spent hours working on the pocket and breaking it in, and has even watched YouTube videos on how to break in a catcher ’s mitt. He is very happy with it, which makes me happy as well.

[ I recently purchased this Wilson red catcher ’s glove, and I couldn ’ t be happier with it. First of all, the look is absolutely beautiful. The red color really stands out and looks even better in person. It feels premium and very well made, just what you expect from Wilson. The size is exactly as described, which was very important to me. It fits great and feels secure on the hand. Although the glove is a bit stiff out of the box, it has been breaking in faster than expected with regular use and shaping. You can really tell the leather quality is there. Overall, this is an excellent catcher ’s glove with great craftsmanship, solid structure, and an amazing visual design. I ’ m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and great- looking catcher ’s glove.

I bought this glove for my son to work on his fielding and transitions. The padding is perfect. The glove is soft and fits nicely on your hand.

My son uses this pancake glove on his 12U team. It helps athletes who are having trouble fielding with one hand, to get use to using two hands. My son says this glove does a great job of helping him use two hands.

[ I bought this for my 12 year- old son, who is working in at first as a secondary position. He loves this glove. The look is amazing, and the break- in has been pretty easy. We 've only thrown with it a couple of times, and he can nearly close it on his own. Pocket is large and deep, although we 've had to loosen some of the lacing in the webbing( which was really tight). Leather is super soft-- just a little oil to help with the break- in, and it feels great.

5 Dad Can Still Ball
[ Bought in September to have ready by spring, and my son already likes how it's breaking in. The leather is GOOD, and soft enough to get worked into shape quickly. His hand grips nicely, and the finger slots are well- sized for him. Deep pocket/, and strong, tight webbing( important at first base). His last mitt blew a hole through the webbing, so we wanted a better make this time. Glad we chose the Wilson A1000.

i bought this glove for my young son in hopes that we can generate some all stars out of him to hopefully pay for his college career. This glove comes pre- broken in, so that will help with the size of his small hands. This glove is a step up from the cheap wal- mart brand that we previously bought. I am a firm believer in the quality of Rawlings and their dedication to toughness, details, quality and touch of stardom. Here is the next step to making it to the PRO's!

[ I ’ m really excited to take this glove out and break it in while practicing catch with my oldest son. Right out of the box, the CTZ5000 feels soft and comfortable, and I can already tell it ’ ll be easy to break in. The cowhide leather feels high- quality but lightweight, and the super- soft palm lining adds a nice touch — I feel like this glove will last me a long time and won ’ t wear out. I also love the look of this glove — the camel and brown colors combined with the chrome stitching give it a sharp, professional feel. Can ’ t wait to get more use out of it this season!

5 brittanyc345_3849
[ The fit and quality is spectacular covers your had so well to make sure your injured. This leather glove will last years to come. Durable and comfortable with amazing grip all in one glove. Will never miss a ball with this one.

5 gotthatfireinmysoul_7060
[ I was over the moon when I received this Franklin right- hand fielding glove from Influenster! My daughter plays softball and has been asking me to `` practice '' with her, so the timing couldn ’ t have been better. This Franklin glove fits perfectly and feels durable. While it's a baseball glove — so it's a bit smaller than my daughter ’s softball glove — it still does a great job catching softballs.

5 manny5624_6980
[ The CTZ5000 is a solid mid- tier glove that blends comfort, durability, and style. Made from genuine cowhide leather, it breaks in quickly and offers a soft palm lining for all- day comfort. Chrome accents give it a sleek, modern look, and it's available in multiple sizes and web styles to fit different positions. They also break in super quick so you can use this glove in game almost immediately. Lacks advanced features found in high- end gloves. Great for players who want a reliable, good- looking glove without spending a fortune. Ideal for both youth and adult rec- level play.

5 1988babydoll_9880
[ Franklin Sports has truly outdone themselves- this glove's exceptional quality and perfect fit have exceeded my expectations, and I 'm confident it will remain a reliable companion for years to come. And very comfortable when catching.

Frequently Asked Questions For Baseball Mitts for Beginners

When selecting a baseball mitt for beginners, consider features like the size, which should be appropriate for the player's age and hand size. A lightweight design can enhance comfort and ease of use, while a soft leather or synthetic material helps with break-in time. Additionally, look for a mitt with a good pocket depth to help secure the ball.

The best size for a beginner's baseball mitt typically ranges from 11 to 12.5 inches, depending on the player's age and position. Younger players often benefit from smaller mitts that are easier to handle, while older beginners may prefer larger sizes for better coverage. It's important to try on different sizes to find the most comfortable fit.

Yes, beginner baseball mitts are often made from synthetic materials or softer leather, which provide a good balance of durability and ease of use. Synthetic mitts are generally more affordable and require less break-in time, while softer leather mitts offer better comfort and performance as players develop their skills. Choosing the right material can enhance the overall experience for beginners.

The break-in period is quite important for a baseball mitt, especially for beginners who may struggle with stiff gloves. A well-broken-in mitt allows for better flexibility and easier catching, which can boost a beginner's confidence. Many mitts designed for beginners come with materials that facilitate a quicker break-in process.

Different positions in baseball often require specific mitt styles. For example, first basemen typically use larger mitts with a deeper pocket to help catch throws, while infielders may prefer smaller, more maneuverable mitts. Beginners should consider their preferred position when selecting a mitt to ensure it meets the demands of their role on the field.

While a beginner can technically use a baseball mitt designed for older players, it may not be the best choice. Larger mitts can be cumbersome and difficult to handle for younger or less experienced players, potentially hindering their development. It's generally recommended to choose a mitt that is specifically designed for beginners to ensure comfort and ease of use.
