Overview
A catcher working on receiving at faster pitch speeds is the user this training mitt is built for, using an undersized leather design. The two-piece closed web and leather lining are listed, in black and tan.
The reason to buy is practice that forces sharp focus, since the small build leaves less margin for sloppy catching. The limit is that it is a training tool, with no game padding claims and a youth age label.
Who it's for
Youth catchers and coaches running drills to sharpen glove work at higher speeds. Anyone wanting a mitt for games, or for the pocket-training version at slower speeds, should look at different models.
Pros and cons
- Intended for faster speeds
- Two-piece closed web
- Training use only
- Break-in steps not listed
- Padding level not stated
Performance notes
The undersized build leaves less room to catch the ball, so the catcher has to square up and watch it into the glove. Faster velocity adds to the challenge. Leather needs time to soften with use, and the listing gives no break-in steps.
