Select the right
Baseball Glove Size

It is important to select the right baseball glove size for the position you play. Different gloves are available for catchers, first basemen, infielders and outfielders.

Catchers wear fingerless mitts that have heavy padding.
First basemen wear mitts that are similar to the catcher mitts, but have less padding. The mitts are longer and have a shallow pocket to help get the ball out faster.
Infielder and pitcher gloves are five finger gloves with shallow pockets. Youth sizes are about 9-11 inches. Adult sizes are about 10.5-12 inches.
The gloves for outfielders are generally 12-13 inches for adults and about 11 inches for youth players.

Glove Sizes:

• up to 8 year old players, use 9 inches for infielders and 11 inches for outfielders.
• 9-13 year old players, use 9-10 inches for infielders and 11-12 inches for outfielders.
• older than 13 years and adults should use 10.5-12 inches for infielders and 12-13 inches for outfielders.
