Facts as the maker states them, read 24 Oct 2026

A 13-inch closed-back outfield glove with a six finger web and finger hole, made of 6.5 oz premium kip leather with a deep pocket design. Sold in walnut with black lace for right- or left-hand throw.

Type	Outfield glove
Size	13 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	Six Finger Web
Leather	6.5 oz. premium 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.
Back	Closed
Hand	Right-hand throw or left-hand throw

Maker SKU	PJ
The maker says	The closed back and finger hole provide the support needed in an outfielder's glove. Its signature deep pocket design will ensure that balls won't get away from you. The Optimus PJ uses the same premium quality 6.5 oz. kip leather found throughout the Optimus series.

Fit profile

Stated comes off the maker's page; derived is worked out from what the maker states: its words, its leather, its numbers; graded is Patrick's call; unknown means the class is not known yet.

LeatherstatedKip
Break-inderivedStiffDerived from leather type (kip / pro-grade wording).
What this means
Pro-grade leather such as Japanese kip or steerhide. Can take weeks to months to break in and a young player may not be able to close it at all at first. Lasts for years once broken in.
Tip: Do not buy a stiff pro glove for a player under 12 unless you are ready to break it in for them.
Closing effortderivedHardDerived: stiff build in a mitt or large 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.
