Good non-$200 A2000 glove options

If you're saying your daughter throws left-handed (LHT) - you should be able to find any number of higher-end gloves much cheaper than RHT, and for the same model. You'll find the biggest price difference for the Mizuno Pro Selects, and while I haven't seen any lately, there was always a few sites still selling some of the LHT All-Star gloves, which were always well-regarded on this board.

Gags is right, Southpaws get all the killer deals! (even on bats)

It's funny that you mention those gloves because those are the exact same gloves currently in her bag. I bought 2 All-Stars probably 3 years ago, a first base glove, and a pitcher's glove. I replaced the first base glove with a Pro Select. I got all of them easily less than half of retail price. But lately, I've been having trouble finding screaming deals like that.

Have you priced anything lately? That’s the World we live in right now!

I'm not a glove expert, but I have ordered 3 of the Gloveworks custom. 2 of the Game Day, and 1 Pro Steerhide. Overall I like them. My DD is a diehard Marucci customs. She has the Pro, but its her backup. Her description is "it's too slick". The Gloveworks are stiff, seem to be well made, and I think a step under A2000/HOH (my estimate) for half the price. I cant speak to the longevity, but the mine has held up through weekly practices for over a year and looks new.

As I’ve said before, I’ve only ever owned the Pro-Steerhide, mine was a Dan Davis Re-lacing model, a 12.25” I-web in Midnight Tan. Dan put a few extra touches on this one and it every bit rivaled a A2000 / HOH….for $175.00!

Never handled a Game Day or the Pro Kip before, but for the prices on those two, and the quality (which I have seen) they’re pretty hard to beat!

left handed throwers have it made with gloves. Places are always trying to clear inventory because those gloves are always
last to be sold
