Mizuno Prospect GXC112 Youth Catcher's Mitt

 (3 customer reviews)

I am a youth league baseball manager and I sometimes buy equipment for my teams to use. I try not to spend too much money because unfortunately not every player treats equipment with respect. Therefore, I bought this catcher's mitt because it had some good reviews at other sites and the price wasn't nearly as extreme as other mitts on the market.

All of the players love this mitt! The pocket is perfect size for the 7 to 9 year old age group that I deal with. The mitt hinges rather easily from what I have seen and been told by the players. They have absolutely no problem catching pitches with this mitt. The real surprise for me was how easily they were able to trap, scoop, and block bad pitches with it.

The quality is good, and it is made of soft leather that breaks in easily. If you are looking for a catcher's mitt I would definitely consider this one. It is a great mitt and the price is fantastic for what you get.

I bought this mit for my 9 year old who is not very big (45"). It fit him very well. The fact that it is somewhat broken in was a plus. The padding of the glove is impressive. The price was very affordable. The fact is, he will grow out of it in a couple of years and to me and him, this is not a bad investment. This will end up being a hand-me-down to other players.

I am 10 yrs. old and i like to pitch and catch, but i dont have a mit and i am looking for one. usually other people have a mit that i can use. if u get a batting cage and a pitching machine i say get the mit or if you have friends that pitch or catch ( you might need some gear to catch.)you should get it too. but would it be good for me i have an average size hand for a 10 year old. or at least i think i do.
