Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026

The page lists an 11.5 inch glove with a V web and cowhide leather. It is for a right hand thrower in a Tan/Black colorway.

Type	Glove
Size	11.5 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.

Fit profile

What this means
Needs a week or two of catch and shaping before it closes well.
Closing effortderivedEasyDerived: youth build in a small pattern.
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.
