selecting a baseball gloves

There are gloves that will give many seasons of satisfactory service and a good glove does not have to be expensive. The more expensive gloves do tend to use better and often heavier.

Select a glove for the position you will be playing most often. A baseball glove should feel fairly snug when adjusted. Check to make sure the baseball glove adjusts to your hand. Allow room for batting glove. The batting glove will absorb most of the sweat from your hands, thus protecting the lining of your glove. Change the batting glove when it gets wet or rotted.
The leather should be fairly sturdy. A stiffer glove will have to be broken in, but once done, the baseball glove will be serviceable for many seasons. Higher quality baseball gloves and mitts are usually distinguished by higher grade leather, better construction and better design. These work together to produce a glove or mitt that is durable and helps the ball into and out of the pocket. The highest quality gloves are usually made of heavy leather that will need some time to break-in and typically do not have palm pads or Velcro adjustments.
