My daughter pitches. I catch for her most of the time while she is training during the week and about half the time for her lessons.
I'm trying to find a decent, not amazing and not trash, catcher's mitt for me. Her velocity seemingly is getting higher by the week (maybe an exaggeration but no doubt it keeps increasing). The ol' Wilson infielder glove isn't cutting it anymore.
Anyone have any recommendations? I was looking at the Marucci Palmetto or Magnolia models. I can get either for a decent price right now or maybe a Rawlings Liberty.
My main concern is I'm worried a fastpitch specific catcher's mitt may not fit my hands. That said, my hands aren't huge. There's no holding 8 baseballs at once a la Johnnie Bench going on in my future. Heck, I can't even palm a basketball.
Thanks y'all.
