Fit Tips
Softball (Adult):
-
The larger sizes (13 to 14 inches)
are manufactured for softball players.
-
Outfielders typically wear gloves in
the 12.5 to 13.5-in range because the large pocket
makes for great catching.
-
Infielders looking for quick
transfer often use a slightly smaller glove, between
12 and 13 inches.
-
Pitchers, like infielders, usually
prefer the quick transfer of smaller, 12 to 13-in
gloves
-
Middle infielders should look for a
shallower pocket within the recommended size range.
Youth and Beginner:
Gloves that are too big allow
"cheating," preventing beginners from developing and
refining proper skills. Kids' gloves should not be
bought to be grown into. The best way to learn the
fundamentals of fielding and catching is by wearing a
glove that fits well
Kids 12 and Under:
No larger than 12 inches. Kids 8 and
older should try gloves in the 11s, while younger kids
(especially if they are smaller) should consider gloves
in 9 to 11 inch range.
Adolescent:
Choose the lower end of the adult size
range for your position.
