Good Quality Baseball Gloves
can improve Performance


Baseball gloves, usually made of leather, are worn by the infielders, outfielders, pitcher and catcher when playing defense. Gloves are available for men, women and youth players.

The catcher and the first base player are allowed to use mitts. All other infielders, outfielders and pitcher wear gloves. Gloves have fingers, while mitts don't have fingers. Mitts make it easier to stop ground balls.

First base mitts have little or no padding in the palm and finger areas. Catcher mitts usually have thick padding around the middle and in the palm and finger area.


Major glove parts: 1. The pocket is the middle of the glove. This is where the balls are caught. 2. The web is the part that connects the thumb with the fingers. 3.The heel is the bottom of the glove.

Material used for top quality gloves is full grain leather or premium steer hide. For youth gloves it is probably not worth buying premium leather gloves, since they will be outgrown.

High quality gloves cost about $100-200+. With proper care these gloves should last longer than cheaper models.

Most new gloves need to be broken in. A special glove oil is rubbed into the palm area of the glove and the glove is exercised.

Proper care can substantially improve the life of the glove. If you use a premium leather glove, wear a batting glove under the glove. This will absorb some of the sweat from the hands. Good care can add years to the life of the glove.

Some of the top glove manufacturers are Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno, Easton, Louisville Slugger and Nokona.
