Pro Select FP Catcher's Mitt

Yes, the Pro Select FP is engineered exclusively for fastpitch catchers. The pattern and ergonomic fit are tailored to the specific demands of the fastpitch game, rather than being a repurposed baseball mitt.

Thanks to the premium steerhide construction, this mitt features a quicker break-in period than traditional stiff leather gloves. While it will still require some catch and conditioning, you can expect to get it game-ready much faster than standard professional-grade models.

The H-Web is a popular choice for catchers because it offers a deep, secure pocket while maintaining excellent visibility. It provides the structural stability needed to frame pitches effectively and handle high-velocity throws.

A 34.5-inch mitt is a standard size for competitive fastpitch, offering a larger surface area to help catchers frame pitches and block balls in the dirt. If the player is transitioning from youth leagues to high school or travel ball, this size is generally appropriate, though hand size and personal preference should always be the final deciding factor.

Premium steerhide is chosen for its balance of durability and suppleness. It is tough enough to withstand the repeated impact of high-velocity pitches throughout a long season without losing its shape, provided you maintain it with proper conditioning.
