Overview

Catching with the small pocket here forces clean receiving and quick transfers, since the target is smaller than a standard mitt. A two-piece closed web and leather shell give the trainer its structure.

Catchers building habits get a mitt that rewards clean catches and quick hands. The smaller pocket will drop balls a regular mitt would stop, which is the point of the drill and the reason it is not a gamer.

Who it's for

Youth catchers and coaches running receiving drills will get steady use from it. Left-handed throwers and players who need a game-ready pocket should look at a different mitt.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Small pocket trains clean receiving
  • Two-piece closed web
Cons
  • Right hand throw only
  • Not for game play
  • Youth sizing only

Performance notes

A smaller pocket gives less margin, so the catcher has to get the glove to the ball and close it quickly. Practicing with it carries over to a regular glove, which then feels roomier by comparison.
