RHT or LHT?
Regardless of manufacturer, I recommend a 12.5" / 12.75" Six-Finger Trap baseball glove worn TIP with her index finger kept inside the glove.

Thank you. Right hand throw. I was hoping you would reply as you seem to be pretty passionate about gloves. Which models would you recommend?

She played rec ball the past 2 years. This will be her first year playing travel ball.

No need, I'd say she's small.
Which gloves would you recommend?

I found a few. What do you think? Why the six finger trap vs another pocket?

I was actually gonna post the Wilson OT6 earlier today, think it was JustBallGloves that have them for $239? I just don’t know how well your daughter would get along with the hand stall size?

The reason, the Six-Finger Trap web forms the best pocket of any web out there! The web collapses on both sides of the ball and on top when caught correctly in the pocket. Mike Trout and Ken Griffey Jr. cant both be wrong!

Here’s the only one I have left...IMG_2448.jpegIMG_0899.jpegIMG_0898.jpeg
