Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026

The Stinger Sand Series 12.75 inch first base mitt is made of Pro Stock Japanese Kip Leather and has a Pro Leather Liner. The page also describes a double layered finger pad and double welting for shape integrity.

TypeFirst base mitt
Size12.75 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.

LeatherPro Stock Japanese Kip Leather
What this means

Light, tight-grained leather from young cattle. The premium choice for pro infield gloves: light and long-lasting, but stiff at first.
