Best 1st baseman’s glove

If you're looking for something a little different/cheaper, take a look at Gloveworks custom. It's very well constructed. I ordered one when my DD was 15. Gorgeous leather, it arrived extremely stiff but broke in without too much work, and it has held up like a tank. She loves it.

Look for sales they have coupons for 20% all the time.

I got this a few years ago on lht clearance for under a hundred bucks. I absolutely love this glove. The pocket is amazing. I've caught thousands upon thousands of pitches with it and it's still in great shape (could probably be replaced at some point).

I think they make a 12.75, but this 12.5 eats up a 12" softball. And even after seeing tons of use and feeling broken in so as to feel like an extension of my hand, it still stays open on its own. Now, will it be as durable as Rawlings horween that could catch a hand grenade and just need some light conditioning? Probably not, but it ain't no slouch.View attachment 29708View attachment 29707

Yeah she will definitely work to break it in, but she hasn’t liked the Rawlings gloves very much in the past. She had a liberty advanced that was absolutely hated, and it was a terrible glove ?. She has longer fingers, so any insight on the fit of this one?
