Buying Guide: Choosing a Catcher's Mitt
The catcher's mitt is the most specialized glove on the diamond. Unlike fielding gloves measured by length, catcher's mitts are measured by circumference to calculate the catching surface area.
Understanding Mitt Sizing
- Youth (Ages 12 & Under): Typically 31" to 32.5". These offer smaller hand openings and lighter weight for control.
- Intermediate/High School: Usually 33". This is the standard size that balances a deep pocket with quick transfer speeds.
- Adult/Pro: 33" to 34". Larger mitts are excellent for handling knuckleballs or wild pitches but can be slightly heavier.
Webbing and Backing
Most catchers prefer a closed web (usually a 1-piece or 2-piece solid web) for durability and a loud "pop." For the back of the hand, an "Open Back" provides flexibility, while a "Closed Back" with a finger hole offers more wrist support.
Pro Tip: Catchers mitts require the most break-in time of any glove. We recommend using a mallet and glove conditioner immediately upon purchase to form the pocket.
Common Questions
How do I measure a baseball catcher's mitt?
Catchers mitts are measured by circumference rather than length. To measure, start the tape measure at the top of the index finger, go down along the outside edge, across the palm heel, and up the pinky side to the top. Standard sizes range from 31 inches to 34 inches.
What is the difference between a baseball and softball catcher's mitt?
The primary difference is the pocket design. Softball mitts have a deeper, wider pocket to accommodate the larger 12" ball, while baseball mitts have a shallower pocket designed for the smaller 9" ball to allow for faster transfer times to throwing hand.
How stiff are these mitts out of the box?
High-end mitts like the Wilson A2000 or Rawlings Heart of the Hide are made from premium steerhide and will be very stiff initially. They require significant break-in work. Lower-priced or youth models often come "game-ready" with softer leathers.
