Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

A 32.5-inch youth baseball catcher's mitt in Mizuno's Prospect line in a red, white and blue colorway, with a full grain pigskin leather shell, Parashock palm pad, PU palm liner and PowerLock closure. PowerClose technology and Less 2 lacing are built in for easier closing; right- and left-hand throw are offered.

Type	Youth catcher's mitt
Size	32.5 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.
Leather	Full grain pigskin leather
Hand	Right-hand throw or left-hand throw
Ages	Youth; younger players
Level	first mitt
Also on the page	ButterSoft Palm Liner: PU palm lining for increased durability, feel, and comfort Less 2 Lacing: Removes the last 2 lace loops on the web to increase flexibility along the closing axis Parashock Palm Pad: Mizuno's exclusive palm pad absorbs the shock of repeated use, providing outstanding protection and ideal comfort PowerClose Technology: Makes catching easy for younger players PowerLock: Provides the quickest and most secure fit available
Maker SKU	GXC 105 RWB; style 313358R1053250
The maker says	PowerClose technology makes catching significantly easier. It is not a perfect first mitt unless it carries the PowerClose stamp.

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.

LeatherstatedPigskin
Break-inderivedGame-readyDerived: youth line, built soft by convention.
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.
