OPB21 ELITE CW22 PREMIUM CATCHERS MITT

Players should take a good look at what size glove they choose depending on their position and their preferences. Unlike other gloves, catchers gloves are measured by their circumference and not their length. Generally, a smaller glove like a 32.5" will give the player more control of the glove but will have a more shallow pocket while a larger glove will give the catcher slightly more reach and deeper pocket at the expense of glove control. For most MLB catchers, 33" is the baseline for catchers mitts but catchers should always have an idea of their skills and preferences in order to choose the right size for them.

MLB Players Preferences:
- 32.5" (Salvador Perez, Gary Sanchez, Ivan Rodriguez)
- 33" (JT Realmuto, Russell Martin)
- 34" (Yadier Molina, Buster Posey, Mitch Garver)

At OPSports we offer players the choice between Premium Japanese kip leather & Top-grain cowhide leather. At the base, the differences in the types of leather are due to the differences in the age of the cow in which the leather comes from. Premium kip leather comes from a cow under the age of 3, while the top-grain cowhide leather comes from a cow that is 3+ years of age. Kip leather is a more luxurious leather known for its buttery smooth feel that is typically a little bit lighter and quicker to break in. Top-grain cowhide leather will be a slightly heavier and thicker leather that takes a little bit longer to break in. All of our leather is of premium quality, built to last through thousands of repetitions so the differences in the leather come down to the preference of the player.
