Thanks! Hope the mitt breaks in well!

😂😂😂

Good luck! Let me know how that JL mitt feels. Is it from their spring collection?

@@914ballgloves8 nah I got a custom when the beta builder was launched, the mitt feels really sturdy and has really good depth to it, hopefully that means I’ll get a really good pocket

I always do 2 in the pinky for catcher’s mitts!

thank you Ryan! Good luck!

Between 12.25 to 13 works. Freddie Freeman for example games a 12.25 first baseman mitt

yeah the 13” gg elite first base mitt is good, I used to have one

Thank you!

@@914ballgloves8Great time to post this just got an A2000 catchers mitt!

great question, it’s up to preference. I like to have a mitt that’s still a little stiff when I go to play catch with it, that way it forms to my hand the best

@@914ballgloves8 also should the ball hitting the mitt be closing the mitt mostly or should it be my hand that’s mainly closing the mitt.

@@colefortin2906 Another good question, to me it’s a little bit of both. Sometimes it’s good to just let the ball hit the pocket and not squeeze the glove. If the ball falls out, then it falls out. No big deal just keep using it

@@914ballgloves8 Hey man thanks for telling me that, I’ve been wondering for a while.

I hired someone on Fiverr.com , they made a couple logos and revisions for about $30

Ok thanks

Notice how ever so often I open up the mitt and hit the palm with the weight. This is actually to remove and flatten out any creases that are made when I hit the back side of the mitt with the weight. Creases are normal when breaking in a glove: it's a characteristic of the leather. A glove with no creases is an unused glove! It's about keeping those creases from becoming bubbles, and to do that I hit the palm with the weight and shape it with my hands.

Thanks man!

Yeah of course, you helped me break in both my infield glove and catchers mitt. You’ve helped me a lot

@@colefortin2906 Glad I could help bro!

Unfortunately, probably not. Realmuto is at the end of his career so his name probably won’t make any money after he retires. To these companies it’s all about relevancy. Example, No such thing as a “Varitek Model” because the kids don’t know who he is. They only made a certain number of the JT this year and since it’s the Gold Label collection they probably won’t make another.

@@914ballgloves8 oh he’s at the end??? Man he’s a great catcher

@@EtheMAN0528 Yeah he’s 32. I mean who knows in a perfect world he’s got 10 years left but most catchers retire around 36-37. It takes a toll. But they’re not making a new JT in 5 years

Hey man, i don’t know if you know this already but you can remake this by using a custom rawlings glove, just use Heart of the Hide, CM-43 model and it’s the exact thing, for the black use, “JT Dark Shadow” and use Tan for the inside, also if you’re switching colors don’t change the inside color since the color of leather breaks in different and the tan is probably THE best leather for catching baseballs

This belonged to a teammate, he purchased it on the Rawlings website almost two years ago… I doubt there’s any on the secondary market

Let’s goooo!
