Softball Glove FAQs

What size softball glove should I buy?

Infielders usually prefer 11.5”–12” gloves, outfielders use 12.5”–13”, and catchers/first basemen need position-specific mitts. Youth players often use smaller gloves for easier control.

What’s the difference between baseball and softball gloves?

Softball gloves have deeper pockets and larger webs to handle bigger softballs. Baseball gloves are typically smaller with shallower pockets.

How do I break in a new glove?

Play catch, use a mallet, or condition the leather with glove oil. Gear Trybe also lets you Trybe-It ($0 today) so you can break in a glove before you decide to keep it.

Can I try a glove before I buy?

Yes—with Trybe-It, you can field with it first, then return or keep it.

How to Choose the Right Softball Glove

The right softball glove depends on your player’s position, age, and comfort.

  • Position: Infielders need smaller gloves (11.5–12”) for quick transfers, while outfielders need larger gloves (12.5–13”) with deeper pockets. Catchers and first basemen require specialized mitts.
  • Age/Level: Youth players (under 12) need lightweight gloves for easier handling, while older players can move into stiffer, pro-level leather gloves that last longer.
  • Web Style: Infielders usually prefer I-web or H-web for visibility, while outfielders use closed webs for secure catches.
  • Break-In: High-quality leather gloves often need time to break in. With Gear Trybe’s Trybe-It program, you can start breaking in a glove for $0 today before committing.
  • Budget: Gloves range from $80 to $350. Alpha Ultra members save 20%+ and get early access to exclusive glove drops.

Whether your player is just starting in youth softball or competing at the highest level, Gear Trybe makes it easy to find the glove that fits their game.
