Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

Heart of the Hide ContoUR Fit first base mitt on the DCT pattern with a single post double bar web, 12.25 inches, in Pink/Columbia Blue, offered in right and left hand throw. Top-grade steerhide with Heart of the Hide shell palm leather lining, narrowed finger stalls, a lower profile wrist opening, redesigned heel pad and R2G factory break-in, made for players with smaller or thinner hands.

Type	First base mitt
Size	12.25 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.

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.

LeatherstatedSteerhide
Break-instatedGame-readyStated: page uses break-in or softness wording.
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.
