Calling all young baseball players and parents! This Shoeless Joe Junior glove is seriously awesome for kids learning the game. It's made from 100% leather that's been through this special antique tobacco planning process - sounds fancy, but what it really means is the glove breaks in super easy. No more struggling with a stiff new glove for weeks! The I-web design is perfect for all-around play - whether you're catching pop flies or fielding grounders, this web stops the ball quickly so you can make the play. It comes in that left-hand throw configuration (goes on your right hand) which is perfect for lefties or right-handed players who prefer this style. The XRD foam padding gives you extreme impact protection, so catching those hard throws doesn't sting your hand. The pocket is designed to easily accept and hold regulation baseballs, and the open back makes it comfortable to wear. Here's a pro tip: play serious catch for about 30 minutes and this glove will be field ready. Always store it with a ball in the pocket secured with a rubber band to maintain the shape. The laces are hand-tied and might need tightening a couple times a year, but that's normal for quality gloves. Perfect for ages 7 and up, this is the glove that helps young players actually enjoy catching instead of fighting their equipment!
