Playing the Field
Baseball and softball gloves were created to match the needs of a given field position, with each type of glove boasting unique features to enhance a player's performance at his or her position. The following can be a brief summary of each glove's characteristics:
Catcher: No finger channels, with heavy palm padding and overall reinforcements to reduce the sting of repeatedly catching pitchers' throws
First Base: Also lacks finger channels, however with less padding that a catcher's mitt, with added length to help you catch infield throws and shallow pocket, enabling quick ball retrieval
Infield: Five-fingered glove has shallow pocket for fast ball retrieval, with nine- to 10-inch youth sizes and 10.5- to 11.5-inch adult sizes, and softball infield gloves creating a deeper pocket to take the greater ball
Second base players require smaller gloves to balance control using the need to make quick throws
Shortstops make usage of a mid-sized glove for ground balls and quick throws
Third base players require a larger glove for max catching power
Outfield: Glove is longer to offer extended reach, with a deep pocket to handle high-lofting balls, and sizes range from 12 inches or over for adults and 11 inches for youth players
Softball Gloves: The characteristics, by position, of softball gloves are usually much like their baseball counterparts, with softball gloves having more length and deeper pockets to handle the larger ball
Anatomy of your Glove
Gloves were created to execute a somewhat simple task--catch a ball. The quality of materials and craftsmanship that may go in a developing a glove, however, could be surprising. Below is an overview of your glove's components and exactly how each helps optimize your defensive game:
Pocket: Pocket depth is determined by player position, with shallower pockets helping infielders quickly retrieve and chuck the ball ball, and outfielders' pocket depth aiding in capturing a ball on the fly. Softball players also need deeper pockets to catch the larger ball.
Webbing: The preferred webbing pattern is partly dependant on field position and partly by player preference. Generally, open webbing helps infielders quickly retrieve the ball, closed or tightly woven webbing gives outfielders and third basemen extra support, and closed webbing allows pitchers to hide the ball through the batter.
Backs: The back of the glove, or part that goes across the top of your respective hand, can either be closed or open, which is largely a matter of player preference. Some infielders find an empty back being more flexible and forgiving, while outfielders may being a closed back with finger hole for added support.
Wrist Adjustment: Some gloves include fit systems, or wrist adjustments, to help you maintain the glove tightly affixed to your player's hand. Typically the most popular closures are buckles, D-rings, lacing, and Velcro.
