Glove advice for a 13YO

[msm979]

I love getting on here and reading the discussions on gloves so I thought I would go ahead and ask a question to get the experts advice. My 13YO DD has been primarily playing 1B the last few years and occasionally playing other infield positions when needed. She has joined a new travel team and it looks like they already have an established 1B so they have been practicing her at 3rd. She currently uses a 12.5 Liberty Advance at first and I am wondering if that is too big for the other infield positions. She is average size and is TIP style. Should I look for a 11.75 or 12 for her to use when playing infield?

Ha, funny how that works, wonder if Core is jealous?

Wonder if we ever found some cool pants that won’t melt a toddler?

This needs to be a sticky!

A Don Morton Rawlings Pro1000 is what you seek!

Did I forget to mention that for some reason she is anti-rawlings When I mentioned a smaller glove the first thing she did was look up different A2000 models. Pro 1000 looks good to me but I will have to try and convince her. I tried to get her to look at this one last night at the batting cage and she wouldn't give it the time of day. I wondered if the 11.75 would be too small.

If she's playing 3B, 2B, or SS, I feel a 12.5 is probably too big. An 11.75 or 12 would be perfect unless she's playing 1B, which you said she's not.

Serious question….who’s footing the bill?

Tons and tons (and tons) of years of experience with that pattern! It works and if works fantastically! < new word for me!

It’s like Newton, in isolation due to the Great Plague, inventing Calculus..
