Parent's Guide to Youth Catchers Mitts
The most common mistake when buying a youth catcher's mitt is buying one that is too big or too stiff. A mitt that is too large prevents the player from squeezing the glove shut, leading to dropped balls and frustration.
Sizing by Age Group
- Ages 7-9: Look for 31" to 31.5" mitts. These are lightweight and often feature "notch" backs or velcro straps to help small hands close the glove.
- Ages 10-12: Look for 32" to 32.5" mitts. This is the transition size for travel ball, offering better padding for faster pitching while maintaining a manageable weight.
Stiffness and "Game Ready" Feel
For youth players, we highly recommend gloves labeled "Game Ready" or "Soft Leather." Brands like Mizuno (Prospect Series) and Rawlings (Renewade/R9) use softer leathers that require very little break-in, allowing your child to use the glove in a game almost immediately.
