Playing the Field
Baseball and softball gloves are specially designed to suit the
needs of a given field position, with each style of glove
boasting unique features to improve a player's performance at his
or her position. The following is 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, but with less padding
that a catcher's mitt, with added length to help 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 having a
deeper pocket to accept the larger ball
* Second base players require smaller gloves to balance control
with the need to make quick throws
* Shortstops use a mid-sized glove for ground balls and quick
throws
* Third base players need a larger glove for maximum catching
power
* Outfield: Glove is longer to provide extended reach, with a
deep pocket to handle high-lofting balls, and sizes range from 12
inches and up for adults and 11 inches for youth players
* Softball Gloves: The characteristics, by position, of softball
gloves are typically similar to their baseball counterparts, with
softball gloves having more length and deeper pockets to handle
the larger ball Anatomy of a Glove
Gloves are designed to perform a relatively simple task--catch a
ball. The quality of materials and craftsmanship that can go into
a building a glove, however, can be surprising. Below is an
overview of a glove's components and how each helps optimize your
defensive game:
* Pocket: Pocket depth is determined by player position, with
shallower pockets helping infielders quickly retrieve and throw
the 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 determined by
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 from
the batter.
* Backs: The back of a glove, or the part that goes across the
top of your hand, can either be closed or open, which is largely
a matter of player preference. Some infielders find an open back
to be more flexible and forgiving, while outfielders may like a
closed back with finger hole for added support.
* Wrist Adjustment: Some gloves include fit systems, or wrist
adjustments, to help keep the glove tightly affixed to a player's
hand. The most popular closures are buckles, D-rings, lacing, and
Velcro.
* Padding: How padded a glove's pocket is depends on position,
with catcher being the most heavily padded. In recent years, many
manufacturers have be to add padding to other position gloves
to reduce "palm shock."
* Materials: By and large, gloves are constructed using one of
three materials--leather, treated leather, or synthetic--with the
differences relating to feel and durability. * Leather: Most
high-end gloves are made of leather, which offers optimal feel
and durability, with leather quality being a significant cost
driver
* Treated Leather: Leather material is softened and strengthened
during production for quicker break-in, better durability, and
lower maintenance
* Synthetic: A lower-cost alternative to leather that offers
reduced durability and responsiveness, and is a good option for
beginning players Fits Like a...
As mentioned above, age and position are the most significant
factors in selecting a proper glove size. Outfielders need larger
gloves with deeper pockets for maximum "catchability," while
infield gloves are smaller and have shallower pockets for optimal
control and speedy ball removal. Some pitchers opt for infield
gloves that are slightly larger than standard, yet small and
shallow enough for rapid fielding and throwing. Most younger
players will benefit from youth-sized gloves that help with
control, and it's a good idea to resist the temptation to buy a
larger glove the child will grow into.

by sport, position, and age.
