Gloves are made to better help you field your position. A key element in determining the size mitt you buy is the position you play in the field.



Catcher



A fingerless mitt (it does not have individual fingers)

Has heavy padding to reduce the sting from the pitcher's throw

Reinforced to withstand the heavy use throughout a game.



First base



Also resembles a mitten, but has less padding than the catcher's mitt

It is longer to help the first baseman field throws from infielders

A shallow pocket allows the first baseman to quickly retrieve the ball from the mitt.



Infield



A five-fingered glove with a shallow pocket

A youth size is between 9 - 11 inches



Adults 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 inch is the typical baseball size

Softball infielder gloves have a deeper pocket to accept the bigger ball

Second basemen need a smaller glove to help make those quick throws while still having control shortstops use something in the middle for grounders and quick throws Third basemen need a larger glove.



Outfield



Usually sized at 12 to12 1/2-inches for adults, about 11 inches for children. A deeper pocket to handle balls hit high in the air

Longer length to give as much reach as possible.



If you plan to play several positions, find a glove that provides the most control for a variety of outfield positions.
