How to Choose the Right Baseball Glove: Tips from MLB Stars

The gloves that baseball players use all depend specifically on which position they play. For example, there are Infielders gloves, Outfielders gloves, Catchers mitts, Pitchers gloves and First Basemens gloves. In this video, Major League Baseball stars, of different positions, share the type of Wilson baseball glove that suits each of them the best. Both Cincinnati Reds Second basemen and Texas Rangers Shortstop Elvis Andrus prefer Wilson's Infielder gloves because they are a shorter 11 and 1/2 to 11 and 3/4 inches, have a short pinkie, a short thumb, dual welding, and a shallow pocket which allows them to get the baseball out faster. Elvis Andrus prefers the Wilson A200 Model 1786 infield baseball glove. It's a SuperSkin model, which means it's half the weight, and twice as strong as leather. MLB outfielder Josh Hamilton prefers a bigger outfielders glove around 12 to 12 ½. Hamilton specifically prefers the Wilson A2000 Model: KP92 outfielder's glove. The pitcher's glove made by Wilson is typically 11 3/4-12 1/2 inches, with a nice deep pocket wide, and the webbing is completely closed. Major League Baseball player C.J. Wilson prefers the Wilson A2000 Model: 1796; he likes the deep pocket and its durability. Depending on what position you play, Wilson has the right baseball glove for you.

[@RoyTheBoy_yt]

my dad is obsessed with huge gloves and whenever i ask for a glove thats less than 12.5" (he uses a 14" for ss) he calls me an idiot for wanting such a small glove so i have to buy all my gloves (i cant afford much). when people ask me why my glove is crappy i just say its a long story.

[@Retardino]

Maybe say that you can't handle big gloves

[@quandingleberry445]

Same i feel bad for u but know its changed for me

[@steezyybrah9745]

I hate big gloves. I use 11.5inch glove for shortstop and center field.

[@Extremehoopers]

I know this is 9 years old but I just started catching last year in my last year of middle school and I'm kinda sad to not see a catcher's mitt

[@andyennis3891]

[@ivelocity790]

[@Toiska36]

Some pitchers may lift their index finger when throwing for example a curveball.

[@jacobbowl303]

What about infields d and outfield I’m a short second third and right fielder

[@ooSPECIALSAUCEoo]

Dear wilson, i am a very small 14 year old with very small hands. I play a very competitive outfield and i am left handed. I tried the kp92 vut it was wayyy to big... Any siggestions?

[@ivelocity790]

[@chicagospecial6325]

Jocelyn Vlogs buy a taper version of the glove from Rawlings if you have skinny fingers like me

[@C.CurrySims]

Got the 12 1/2 inch A500

[@Pichy]

Is a 11 1/4 glove good for 3rd base

[@tuckersnelling318]

ImPichy 12 is normal but I use a 11 3/4

[@davidwilbur114]

No that is way too small the smallest I’d recommend is a 11.75 3rd the balls come too quick to have that small of a glove

[@mauriciobergallo1094]

the 12.5 inches gloves are banned??

[@taylorsuzukigames9137]

No

[@en6853]

God I miss Brandon Philips

[@TheQpzm12]

I use a 13inch glove in outfield is that not allowed in mlb?

[@mromarsito123]

+tpfmike1976 I tought Colby Rasmus uses a 13 inch

[@TheQpzm12]

im pretty sure its a slack rule. Like they don't check or care really. Most prefer smaller gloves to allow for quicker release but in outfield they are usually slightly bigger. Some see big gloves as advantage for catching but disadvantage for finding ball to make quick throws so don't care.

[@daediamond3156]

Bautista uses 13 inch

[@eanvonwald5026]

I love my A2K its the best.

[@kadinmcdonald865]

I know this video is 8 years old but you guys think I could get away using a 44pro 12.25 for outfield and third

[@onyx1466]

Yeah

[@rs_bmbln2446]

What if you don't break in your glove what will happened?

[@frost-grove]

Rona Bambalan you cant close your hand around it as well and the ball falls out more often

[@bodiecowen6997]

idk what is better.. Rawlings or Wilson

[@frost-grove]

Anyone know best size for right fielder?

[@thegunshow7635]

Toasted Flower I recommend 11 3/4 to 12 - 12 1/2 max

[@davidwilbur114]

Please do not get an 11.75 12.25 is the lowest an outfielder should go this guy is dumb outfielders want a big glove

[@ngame30]

I am proud to say that I own a a1000

[@matthewcreasong5102]

Am I the only one that uses a 13 inch glove in outfield

[@akzwrld3668]

I use a 12.75 inch glove and my dad uses a 13 inch glove and I’m also an outfielder. I think it’s fine tbh.
