Facts as the maker states them, read 21 Oct 2026

A 12-inch modified-trapeze glove in grey with black accents, offered in right- and left-hand throw, that the maker lists for pitchers and the left side of the infield, with outfield use noted for younger players with smaller hands. Built from Premium Cowhide Nameshi leather with a conventional back, soft wrist liner, deep pocket, palm overlap, top-grain leather lacing, leather binding and rolled welting, and given a factory break-in.

TypeInfield/pitcher's glove
Size12 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.

WebModified Trapeze
What this means

A deep, open web for outfielders; the deepest pocket of the common webs.
