Selecting the Right Fastpitch Infield Glove
In fastpitch, the difference between an out and a base hit is often measured in split seconds. Choosing the right glove depends heavily on your specific position and the quality of leather you need to handle elite bat speeds.
1. Sizing by Position
- Middle Infield (2B/SS): Look for 11.5" to 11.75" gloves. These smaller patterns allow for a shallower pocket, making it easier to find the ball and transfer it quickly for double plays.
- Third Base (Hot Corner): Look for 12" to 12.5" gloves. You need slightly more reach and a deeper pocket to secure hard line drives and backhand plays down the line.
2. Leather Quality: Big Brand vs. Boutique
We carry industry titans like the Wilson A2000 and Rawlings Heart of the Hide because they offer proven consistency and high resale value. However, we also stock performance boutique brands like Akadema and Resilient SFBL. These brands often use steerhide leather that is just as durable but engineered with specific fastpitch patterns that offer a tighter wrist fit and lighter weight.
