Ball Gloves Online

1. Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO3039: A perfect 12.75″ outfield mitt that features a deep, long pocket for corralling fly balls in the outfield. Get the best outfield glove for 2021 here.
2. Wilson A2000 1799: Another 12.75″ mitt with a deep pocket, but slightly more rounded design. Falls a bit short of the above model, but the best outfield model for Wilson lifers. Buy it here.
3. Wilson A2000 OT6/OT7: The best Trapeze outfield glove that will feature a long, flat pocket. The only issue with this design is that it is weak at the end of the fingers, but many outfielders like the elongated feel of the OT6. Get it here.
4. Custom 44 Pro Glove: The best affordable custom glove on the market right now. Good materials, design, and obviously has unique customization options. We recommend a 12.75″ mitt with an H-web for the outgrass. Start customizing here.
5. Rawlings PROSMT27: The Mike Trout model that is 12.75″ with a Trapeze web. Again, feels big with weak fingertips, but can be a great option for outfielders who like more glove in the outfield. Get it here.

Best Glove Lengths for Outfielders

1. 12.75″: The perfect combination of length and pocket depth. Provides enough glove for easy and difficult plays in the outfield and a deep enough pocket for catching all fly balls in the outfield.
2. 12.5″: A shorter glove length that allows for quicker transfers. You have decent enough glove for most plays in the outfield, and the pocket length is geared towards quicker transitions from glove to throwing hand.
3. 13″: Simply too big for the wide majority of outfielders, but bigger outfielders may like 13″ gloves (which are rather rare).

Best Glove Webs for Outfielders

1. H-Web: Provides the stability to securely catch the ball time-after-time in the outfield, and creates the perfect deep pocket needed in the outfield. Simply the best web design for outfielders.
2. Trapeze: A web design that makes a mitt feel longer than labeled. Secure pocket, but lacks strength at the fingertips.
3. Modified Trapeze: Good for players who used a Modified Trap on the mound or in the infield, but can feel too shallow for many in the outfield.

As the 2019 season accelerates upon us, the time to upgrade your catcher’s mitt is quickly ending. But even though game action starts soon, there’s still enough time to buy and break-in a new mitt.

And while we are no experts on catcher’s gloves (we’re infielders after all), we talked to a large group of catchers and compiled a ranking of the best catcher gloves for the 2019 season:

5. Mizuno Pro GMP200

The Mizuno Pro may be the best glove quality-wise on this list, but what keeps it in fifth place is its exorbitant price. This mitt costs a hefty $600, which is $200 more than any other mitt on this list.

While the materials on this glove are truly amazing and the glove comes with a slew of unrivaled features, spending that much on a mitt is unfathomable to some.

But if you’re willing to drop a pretty penny on the last catcher’s glove you’ll ever need to buy, the GMP200 33.5″ is certainly the glove you want to be using behind the dish.

4. Rawlings Pro Preferred PROSCM33B

The PROSCM33B is Rawlings’ best offering behind the dish, as its 33″ pattern and Pro Preferred materials are perfect for backstops looking for a top-notch catcher’s glove.

And while there’s nothing fancy about this mitt, it’s easily the best option for catchers who are diehard Rawlings users. And while, like every Pro Preferred, it’s a bit pricey, it’s worth every penny.

3. Wilson A2000 1790

The 1790 is a favorite of many of the catchers we talked to due to its ample length (34″) and sizable pocket. And the fact that it’s held up well for them doesn’t hurt its placement, either.

The 1790 is a pretty standard catcher’s mitt, but that’s certainly not a bad thing. It is one of the best gloves for catchers looking for a bigger glove for behind the dish in the upcoming season.

2. Wilson A2000 M2

At first glance, the M2 seems like a typical catcher’s glove. But when you dig a bit deeper, this 33.5″ mitt is actually one of the coolest mitts for behind the plate for the 2019 season.

The reasoning for this is simple: The M2 comes with a built-in leather thumb guard, which perfectly compliments the awesome M2 and the lightweight Super Skin back.

This thumb guard takes away the majority of the sting without the uncomfortable feeling of most third party thumb protectors, making a glove that is perfect behind the dish on multiple levels.

1. All Star CM3000SBT (33.5″)

The CM3000 was the most popular glove of catchers we talked to, largely due to its combination of an excellent pattern, comfortable lining, high quality materials, and top notch performance.

If you’re looking for the best catcher’s mitt on the market, the All Star CM3000 is it. And whether you want a huge mitt (35″), an average sized one (33.5″), or a small one (32″), All Star has a CM3000 for you.

Even as the outdoor beginning of the season quickly approaches for many players, there’s still time to both buy and break-in a new glove for the 2021 season.

And while there’s a ton of options for second basemen, some are clearly better than others. We tested a bunch of second base gloves and found the top five for the 2021 season.

1. Wilson A2000 1786: The best 11.5″ Infield glove on the market, comes with an I-web and a perfect shallow pocket. Pick it up here.
2. Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO204: Another 11.5″ glove that comes with an I-web and shallow pocket, though the pattern is a bit worse than the above 1786. The best choice for Rawlings lifers. Buy it here.
3. Wilson A2000 DP15: The 11.5″ model with a tighter wrist design. Perfect for smaller second basemen that still want a top-tier glove. Check it out here.
4. Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO314: The Rawlings version of the DP15, an 11.5″ mitt with a tighter wrist fit. Great pattern that plays a bit flatter than the DP15. Pick it up here.
5. Custom 44 Pro Gloves: An $185 custom glove that is worth every penny. The most affordable custom mitt that comes with high quality materials and a nice design. We recommend an 11.5″ mitt with an I-web. Start designing here.

Best Glove Sizes for Second Basemen

1. 11.5″: The perfect balance between enough length at the fingers and a shallow enough pocket for quick transfers.
2. 11.25″: Creates the shallowest pocket you can get for second base, but at the expense of a glove that will always feel tiny on your hand.
3. 11.75″: Feels a bit big for the position, but could be useful for bigger second basemen that needs a longer glove to field at their highest potential.

Best Glove Webs for Second Basemen

1. I-web: The perfect web design for second basemen that creates the shallow-yet-sturdy pocket needed for fielding grounders and making quick transfers.
2. H-web: A bit deeper web design that is a bit sturdier than the I-web. Not highly recommended for second base, but can be useful for dual second basemen/third basemen.
3. One-Piece Web: A unique web style used on the tiny 11″ Wilson X2, the one-piece web creates a super sturdy and super shallow pocket for its user. However, you can only get it on tiny gloves or expensive custom gloves.
