12-Inch Traditional First Base Mitt

The first base glove or mitt is uniquely designed to suit the demands of the position. First base mitts have a bigger pocket and an outer edge that is rounded. It’s like a big scoop, better enabling the first baseman to field ground balls and catch throws from outfielders or other infielders. You’ll be better suited to dig balls in the dirt and snag those offline throws from the hot corner.

The traditional webbing style has been used for years. It consists of a single post with crossing strips that provide excellent stability. It is the most popular first base webbing style by professional first basemen.
