My DD plays on a decent 14U travel team (decent for the northeast, I suppose I should qualify. She plays 1B and pitches occasionally (3rd P on team.) She's always used a regular fielders' glove at first, as do most of the girls who we play against. Occasionally I'll see a girl using a 1st baseman's glove and I wonder whether that's something I should invest in. She's not the greatest fielder in the world, and I don't have visions of D1 glory dancing in my head, but if it would make a noticeable difference in her fielding, I'd bite the bullet.
Can anybody lend some insight from their experience? Also, if I do it, I'd be looking to tiptoe in... no $280 Nokona for DD... so I'd appreciate any glove recommendations in the $60-80 range.
Thanks!
