I had two favorite players who were polar opposites...Jim Rice and Ozzie ?

Ozzie tried to buy my Pro12TC from me, I told him to GTFO of here with that craziness, it was stupid money!

Wish I still had it ,but my very first glove was a hand-me-down 1950's Rawlings Stan Musial. No choice but to go TIP......

OK guys, I'll start paying more attention to MLB infielders, but I know that Lindor wear's his traditional, being a Mets fan he was the first one I looked at. Peter Alonzo is also traditional.

Changing when they become a pro or somebody showing them it when they were 10 and then just wearing it that way...big difference ?

Fingers are faster than hands and hands are faster than arms. That why you don't cram your hand in the glove regardless of what finger stalls you're using. Teach them early and often

Elite infielders use their glove as a speed breaker or ramp to it to their transfer hand

Right but I honestly don't see how fast fingers in the glove hand expedite the deflection that should be taking place when squaring up a GB (or when turning a DP and receiving a relay throw). That said I will freely admit I never wore it palm out like that so I haven't felt the difference. Maybe that was the difference between just being a college IF and playing SS for the Red Sox?

Lindor has very tiny hands. His glove is very custom/crazy of memory serves. I would be surprised if he's traditional. Alonzo I haven't seen
