Macgregor Prep Series Catchers Mitt Rht

My son has played baseball for five years and plays catcher a great deal. This was a great purchase for him because it is very durable, has good webbing and good pocket, and fits well in his hand. It looked even better than I thought it did in the picture and was a great buy at a good price. I've seen many more expensive catcher's mitts that look just as good and perform as well as this one.

Bought this glove for my 11 year old son to use over the next few years. The workmanship is excellent. The leather is top notch. Not that plasticy, waxy stuff you sometimes encounter. Which means it feels very broken-in right out of the bag, and snaps closed very easily. He tends to be finicky about the fit of sports equipment but there have been no complaints about the fit. The shape of the glove, which falls a bit between a traditional adult catchers mitt and a first baseman's mitt, seems to give him a lot more wrist control at his size/age. And I can't deny that black appeals to his 11-year old mentality.
