Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

A 12.5 inch Renegade first base mitt with a Single Post Double Bar web, conventional back and standard fit, offered in right and left hand throw in Black. Spec lines give an all leather shell construction, Pro Micro lining, a cushioned palm pad with Sure Catch heel and a player break-in figure of 20; the description adds a leather palm, lightweight Pro Mesh back and Velcro straps.

Type	First base mitt
Size	12.5 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.

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 20%.
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.
