Facts as the maker states them, read 21 Oct 2026

An 11.5-inch infield glove with an I web in mint and black, made from cowhide Nameshi leather with a conventional back, palm overlap, leather binding and rolled welting. Offered for right- and left-hand throw with extra factory break-in.

TypeInfield glove
Size11.5 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.

WebI Web
What this means

An open web shaped like an I. Light, quick to clear dirt, lets the ball out fast. The infielder's standard.
