Softball Gloves

(233 products)

Softball gloves are cut for the bigger ball: wider pockets, longer patterns and, for slowpitch, a lot more glove. This page is every fastpitch and slowpitch glove and mitt we stock, and the line-up is the deepest we have ever carried: Rawlings Liberty Advanced, Heart of the Hide fastpitch and R9, Mizuno MVP Prime and Pro Select fastpitch, Easton Pro Collection and Ghost NX, Marucci Palmetto, Oxbow and Acadia fastpitch, and the Miken, Worth and Rawlings slowpitch lines.

Fastpitch players should start on the fastpitch gloves page, with catcher's mitts and first base mitts on their own pages. Slowpitch players go to slowpitch softball gloves for the 13" to 15" patterns.

Every glove is stocked in right hand throw and, wherever the maker offers it, left hand throw as a separate option. Free shipping from Anaheim, CA; order by 12pm PT and it ships the same business day.

Fastpitch vs. slowpitch gloves

A fastpitch glove is a baseball glove scaled for the 12" ball: 11.75" to 12.75" fielders, 33" to 34" catcher's mitts, with a wider, deeper pocket. A slowpitch glove is bigger again, 13" to 15", because the ball is slower and the priority is catching it, not getting it out fast. The two are not interchangeable: a slowpitch glove is too deep for infield play, and a fastpitch glove is on the small side for slowpitch outfield.

Sizing

  • Fastpitch infield: 11.75" to 12.25". Pitcher: 12" to 12.5" with a closed web. Outfield: 12.5" to 12.75". Catcher: 33" to 34". First base: 13".
  • Slowpitch: 13" to 13.5" infield, 14" to 15" outfield, 13" first base mitt.
  • Youth fastpitch (8 to 12): 11.5" to 12" with a small hand opening.

Frequently asked questions

Can a fastpitch player use a baseball glove? She can, but the pocket will be tight for a 12" ball. Fastpitch patterns are cut for it.

What is the best fastpitch glove for high school? The Rawlings Liberty Advanced and Heart of the Hide fastpitch, the Mizuno MVP Prime and Pro Select, and the Easton Pro Collection are the ones travel and high school players buy most.

Do you stock left hand throw? Yes, on most patterns; it is a separate Hand option on each listing.
