Facts as the maker states them, read 24 Oct 2026

A 33.5-inch baseball catcher's mitt with a traditional web and an open back with finger shield, built from 5 oz steer hide leather with a deep pocket, shock pads sewn into the lining and deer-tanned cowhide lining in the finger stalls. Sold in black with red laces for right-hand throw only.

Type	Catcher's mitt
Size	33.5 in What this means Measured from the heel to the top of the index finger. Infielders use smaller gloves (10.25 to 11.75 in) for quick transfers; outfielders larger (12 to 12.75 in); first base and catcher's mitts are measured differently. Tip: Bigger is not better for a young infielder. A glove they can close beats a glove that looks like a pro's.
Web	Traditional
Leather	5 oz. Steer hide leather What this means Heavy, durable adult-cattle leather. Stiff at first, lasts for years. Most pro lines use it.
Back	Open
Hand	Right-hand throw

Steer hide leather Web Style: Traditional Back: Open with finger shield deep pocket design shock pads sewn into the lining pre-treated leather for a short break-in time deer tanned cowhide leather lining in the finger stalls
Warranty	One-year limited warranty – does not include gloves that have been improperly conditioned, steamed, microwaved, or placed in the oven.
Maker SKU	RLN49-22
The maker says	The deep pocket design dramatically decreases spin and increases control. The shock pads sewn into the lining prevent injury to the palm. The leather is strong enough to weather your toughest games for years and is pre-treated to allow for a short break-in time.

LeatherstatedSteerhide
Break-instatedMediumStated: page says it breaks in quicker or easier, not that it is game-ready.
What this means
Needs a week or two of catch and shaping before it closes well.
Closing effortderivedMediumDerived from break-in class.
What this means
How hard a young hand has to squeeze to close the glove on a ball. Easy means a soft build and a smaller pattern; hard means stiff leather or a big mitt.
Tip: If your player drops balls that hit the pocket, closing effort is usually the reason, not the hands.
