Who Should Use a 12.25" – 12.50" Glove?
This size range is the "Swiss Army Knife" of fastpitch. It bridges the gap between the infield and the outfield, making it the ideal choice for three specific types of players.
1. The Utility Player
If you play Third Base in Game 1 and Left Field in Game 2, you need a 12.50". It is large enough to secure fly balls but still has the structure needed for infield grounders.
2. The Pitcher
Pitchers love the 12.25"–12.50" range. The larger size allows you to completely hide the ball and your grip changes from the batter, while the extra length helps knock down comebacks up the middle.
3. The "Range-First" Third Baseman
Some Third Basemen prefer to trade a little transfer speed for maximum reach. If your priority is stopping anything that comes down the line, the extra half-inch of a 12.5" glove is a game saver.
