Marucci Vermilion Series Youth VR1250Y

Yes, the Vermilion Series is specifically designed for youth players. The oiled cowhide leather is durable but manageable, making it a great choice for developing athletes who need a glove that balances longevity with ease of use.

The narrow-fit design is tailored for smaller hands, ensuring the glove stays secure during play. It prevents the glove from feeling loose or slipping off, which gives young players better control and confidence when fielding.

While the oiled cowhide leather is softer than stiff professional-grade leather, it will still require some break-in time. We recommend playing catch or using a glove mallet to help shape the pocket to your player's hand before taking it into a game.

The H-Web is a versatile, open-web pattern that allows for a deep pocket, which is ideal for securing fly balls. It also helps reduce the weight of the glove, making it easier for younger players to maneuver quickly.

A 12.5-inch glove is generally considered a standard size for youth outfielders, providing the extra reach needed to track down balls. If your child is playing multiple positions, this size is versatile enough to handle infield duties as well, though it is optimized for the outfield.
