Easton Jen Schro Elite Series Catcher's Mitt

The Diamond Pro steerhide leather is designed to be game-ready right out of the box. While it will continue to soften and shape to your hand over time, you can expect to use it in a game almost immediately without the typical stiffness found in traditional gloves.

The Quantum Closure System is designed specifically for fastpitch players, offering a more secure, adjustable open-back fit. It allows you to tighten the wrist area precisely to your preference, ensuring the mitt stays stable on your hand during quick transitions and hard pitches.

The flex-notch is a strategic cut in the leather that reduces resistance when you close your hand. It makes the mitt significantly easier to squeeze, allowing for a faster, more responsive snap when catching pitches.

While the 'Elite' designation implies high-level performance, this mitt is suitable for any serious fastpitch catcher who needs a reliable, durable glove. However, at 33 inches, it is sized specifically for the demands of competitive play and may feel large for younger players just starting out.

The two-piece solid web is a classic choice for catchers because it provides a deep, secure pocket that helps hide the ball and prevents it from popping out. While it offers less visibility through the web than an open-lace design, it excels at ball retention and durability.
