Akadema APM 241 Catchers Mitt

The APM 241 uses ProSoft leather, which is designed to be significantly more pliable than traditional stiff leathers. You can expect a much faster break-in period compared to standard professional-grade mitts without losing the durability required for high-level play.

The internal finger hammocks are designed to create a more secure, customized fit for your fingers inside the glove. This helps keep your hand stable and prevents the mitt from shifting during quick transfers or when receiving high-velocity pitches.

Yes, the mitt is equipped with Stress Wedge technology located between the index finger and thumb. This specialized padding is specifically engineered to absorb shock and minimize the sting often felt when catching fastballs.

The Double Flexhinge mechanism is designed to help the glove snap shut instantly upon contact. This responsiveness is crucial for catchers who need to secure the ball quickly and minimize the time it takes to transition from receiving to throwing.

The APM 241 features a medium pocket depth. While it offers excellent stability and ball retention, players who specifically prefer an extra-deep pocket for framing might find this model slightly shallower than specialized framing mitts.

This specific model, the Akadema APM 241, is designed for Right Hand Throw (RHT) players, meaning you wear the mitt on your left hand.
