The pocket will be large and deep and the glove is usually worn completely over the hand. Open or closed webs can be used efficiently with Trapeze type webs becoming very popular. Typically sizes often used range from 12.5″ to 12.75″ but slightly smaller or larger may work.

The pocket will be large and deep and the glove is usually worn completely over the hand. Open or closed webs can be used efficiently with Trapeze type webs becoming very popular. Typically sizes often used range from 12.5″ to 12.75″ but slightly smaller or larger may work. Pro Players’ Sizes/Models: Josh Hamilton LF – 12.5″ – A2000JH32 Jacoby Ellsbury CF – 12.75″ – PROJR7 Ichiro Suziki RF – 12.75″ – GGE70VBK Third Base: Third Base will use a larger ball glove than those at second or short. Known as the “Hot Corner” a third baseman needs a bit of a larger glove to be able to handle and knock down those sharply hit balls in that direction. Third base gloves will have a deeper pocket than the middle infield but not as deep as the outfield models. This will help with making sure to handle the ball correctly and accordingly there on the corner. Sizes will range from 11.75″ to 12″ and an open web design is usually most desirable. Pro Player’s Sizes/Models: David Wright – 12″ – A2KDW5 Adrian Beltre – 12″ – PRONP5TLB Chipper Jones – 11.75″ – GCP53S Short Stop: There is quite a bit of ground to cover while guarding “the hole” at short. Because of this short stops will still prefer larger model than at second and usually still prefer a shallow style pocket to allow for quick pocket to hand transition. This is especially vital for fielding balls deep in the hole. You want to have a glove large enough to snag the ball but still small enough to be able to maneuver quickly. Sizes can range quite a bit here but typically you will find 11.5″ to 11.75″ but depending on preference can go up or down accordingly. Popular web styles will be the “I-web” Modified Trapeze and Basket Web. Pro Player’s Sizes/Models: Troy Tulowitzki – 11.5″ – PROTT2 Derek Jeter – 11.5″ – PRODJ2 Starlin Castro – 11.5″ – A20001786 Second Base: Second base will typically use the smallest glove on the diamond. Quick reactions for turning double plays and making diving snags require a smaller more controlled glove. A shallow flat pocket is usually the most desirable and at times the glove may not be fully worn on the hand. Sizes can range from 11″ to 11.75″. Popular web styles will be the I-web H-Web or Modified Trapeze styles. Pro Player’s Sizes/Models Dustin Pedroia – 11.5″ – A2000DP15 Brandon Phillips – 11.5″ – A20001786 Rickie Weeks – 11.25″ – A2000RW23 First Base: Obviously only one of two positions on the diamond that used a specialized mitt for its’ position. The mitt is somewhat of a hybrid between a fielder’s glove and a catcher’s mitt. The design will not vary much but the desired size and web can vary. Sizes will range from 12″ to 12.75″. Popular web designs will be the Single Post Web and Horizontal Bar Web. Pro Player’s Sizes/Models: Albert Pujols – 12.75″ – PROCMHCB2 Paul Konerko – 12.25″ – A28001613 Adrian Gonza
