Marucci Ascension M Type 42A2 Infield Glove

The M Type fit system integrates the thumb and pinky stalls to create a more secure, locked-in feel. This design helps you maintain better control over the glove's shape and closure, which is particularly useful for making quick, precise plays in the infield.

Yes. The leather is pre-broken-in, meaning it arrives with a soft, pliable feel that avoids the long, stiff break-in period typical of high-end leather gloves. You can take it straight to the field, though you may still want to spend a little time shaping it to your specific hand preference.

An 11.25-inch glove is a standard size for middle infielders—second basemen and shortstops—who need a compact glove for rapid ball transfers and quick turns. If you play third base or prefer a larger pocket for snagging hot shots, you might find this size a bit small.

The I-Web is an open-web design that is lightweight and allows for quick ball transfers, which is essential for turning double plays. It also provides excellent visibility, helping you track the ball as it enters the pocket.

The open back design provides increased flexibility and breathability around the wrist. This allows for a greater range of motion, which is helpful when you need to make snap reactions or reach for balls that require an awkward wrist angle.
