Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

RSB series 12 in glove sold for infield and pitcher use, offered in right- and left-hand throw, with a basket web, all-leather palm construction shell, Pro Micro lining, palm and index finger pads and an adjustable Velcro strap closure. The spec line lists the sport as baseball while the description aims the series at slow pitch softball and general recreational play.

Type	Infield/pitcher glove
Size	12 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	Basket What this means A closed, woven web that hides the ball. Pitchers use it; also common on youth gloves because it closes easily.
Leather	All Leather Palm Construction
Hand	Right-hand throw or left-hand throw
Level	Adult

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.

LeatherunknownNot known
Break-inderivedGame-readyDerived from stated player break-in of 10%.
What this means
Soft out of the box and usable the first day. Made with softer leather that will not last as long as a stiff pro glove, which is fine for a growing player.
Tip: For most players under 12 this is the right answer.
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.
