Buying Guide: Third Base Gloves
Third base is a reaction position. The ball comes off the bat faster here than anywhere else in the infield. As a result, 3B gloves are a hybrid between a standard infield glove and an outfield glove.
The Ideal Size: 11.75" vs 12"
- 11.75-Inch: Provides a slightly quicker transfer for turning double plays.
- 12-Inch: The standard for pure defense, providing extra length for line drives down the line.
Pro Tip: Form a deep bowl in the palm and avoid flaring the fingers out too much so the ball sticks in the web.
Common Questions
Can I use a shortstop glove (11.5") at third base?
You can, but it is risky. The smaller surface area makes it harder to block scorching line drives.
Why are third base gloves bigger than shortstop gloves?
Reaction time is shorter; the extra 0.25" to 0.5" of leather gives you the necessary reach when you can't move your feet.
