The Lefty Ace: Choosing the Right Tool

Left-handed pitchers are a rare asset. To maximize your effectiveness, you need a glove that protects your pitch calling and handles the hot corner when you field your position.

1. Concealment is Key

As a pitcher, your glove is your shield. We recommend Closed Web or Modified Trap styles in the 12.0" – 12.5" range. These solid webs ensure the batter (and the base coaches) cannot see your fingers gripping a change-up or rise ball.

2. The Utility Factor

Many lefty pitchers also play First Base or Outfield when not pitching. A 12.5" glove is the perfect hybrid size. It is large enough to handle outfield fly balls but light enough to use on the mound without slowing down your delivery.

Pro Tip: If you are strictly a pitcher, a 12.00" glove is often preferred for its lighter weight. If you split time in the outfield, go with a 12.50" for the extra reach.

Common Questions

Can I use a 12.5" glove for First Base?
You can, but a dedicated First Base mitt (13") is better for scooping. However, for younger players (10U-12U), a 12.5" glove is often easier to close and control than a stiff First Base mitt.
Why is "Left Hand Throw" confusing?
It is the most common mistake in baseball shopping! Left Hand Throw (LHT) means you throw with your left hand and the glove goes on your Right Hand. All gloves in this collection are for Right Hand wear.
Which brands offer the best closed webs?
Wilson A2000 has a legendary closed "2-Piece" web that is a favorite among pitchers. Resilient SFBL also offers lightweight closed-web options that are perfect for pitchers who want a faster glove hand.
