Common Questions

Can I use a regular fielding glove at first base?
You can, but mitts offer a distinct advantage with deeper pockets and specialized edges for "funneling" throws into the web.
Why are first base mitts so stiff?
They catch more balls than almost any other position. High-grade leather ensures the pocket keeps its shape through thousands of catches.
