Catcher's Mitt Rental FAQs

What if the mitt is too hard to squeeze?
This is the #1 reason parents rent. If the mitt arrives and feels like a brick that your child cannot close, simply return it. We can swap it for a model with softer leather or a different break-in level.
How do I measure for a Catcher's Mitt?
Unlike fielding gloves (measured by length), catcher's mitts are measured by circumference. Youth (Age 9-12): Look for 31.5" to 32.5". HS/Adult (Age 13+): Look for 33" or 34".
Do you rent Left Hand Throw mitts?
Yes! Left-handed catchers are rare, but we stock rental mitts specifically for them. Check the product filters to find "Full Right" (glove on right hand) options.

Guide: The Catcher's Safety Checklist

Beyond the mitt, catching requires specific safety gear to prevent injury. Before the first game, ensure you have these three often-overlooked items.

3 Things Every Catcher Needs

  • Thumb Guard: A molded plastic shield worn inside the mitt. It prevents hyperextension when a ball is caught awkwardly. Essential for velocity 60mph+.
  • Knee Savers: Wedges attached to the back of leg guards. They relieve strain on the knees while crouching.
  • Throat Guard: A hanging plastic shield for the helmet. It protects the neck from foul tips that can sneak under the mask.

Pro Tip: Alpha Ultra members save on all these items. Bundle your mitt rental with a new thumb guard to ensure maximum safety.
