Please DON'T be like Derek Jeter (what not to do)

Derek Jeter is and will forever be a legendary player for the game of Baseball. I have nothing against him and his game. The sad reality is that his glove was not on the same level as his bat. I'm still going to pick him in backyard baseball though... Jeter is an extremely talented athlete in the end plus he played during a time where people cared much less for their gloves. So we can't really blame the guy

I’ve always wondered why so many people thought Jeter was an amazing SS. I always felt like he made pretty normal plays look really hard. Guys like Brandon Crawford and Andrelton Simmons make the same play look easy.

I actually always curled my thumb inward. I ran an 11" mizuno pro legacy into college and bc it was a smaller glove, I found it kept those really high spin rockets in the glove much better. I was never concerned about "closing the window" of my glove bc if I took one off the thumb regardless, I wasn't reading it correctly at all. I definitely preferred the way in which it kept balls in the glove and closed up the top of the web to keep those high spin short hops in. Not saying my way is better, but it just worked for me and my style glove

@drizzle452 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not defending this glove, but… I don’t understand why a soft glove is so frowned upon. Yes, a lot of middle infielders are taught to not fully close the glove for a better transfer, but a lot of ball players really know how to work with a glove that swallows the ball; and actually prefer “soft” to feel the ball. And the basket web thing seems like a fashion faux pas more than a functional problem. Middle infielders have told me that the I web allows more give and the ball gets deeper, but say they hate deep pockets in the same breath. I’d imagine that if there was someone influential enough to set the trend, then people would do anything

@ballgloveking 2 жыл бұрын

I never seaid the pocket makes the glove worse, I belive the break in process is way way more important than the web you choose. Like Japanese baseball culture does not care for using specific webs for specific positions. It's all about using what you like or what looks cool. So I agree with you there, its mostly a style thing. When it comes to soft leather there are two things to note 1. For pros or anyone playing as often as pros, the leather needs to be durable enough to last at least one season. So like you said with infielders they often need something a little stiffer whereas outifelders can get away with a looser/softer glove. Tha's why steerhide is nice. It is typically softer but that gets to my second point 2. For softer leather to still be high quality and usable for elite baseball it needs to be thicker. So everyone is different but you could argue that thin harder leather like kip lets you feel the ball more. Every glove is different and the depth of the pocket plays a huge part in how much you can feel the ball I love talking about this stuff lol sorry, thanks for the comment!

I could understand that theory on basic plays. But if you ever have to dive for a ball.. go backhand on an out-of-reach ball.. go way beyond a routine hit.. a stiff glove is worthless. No infielder in the MLB uses a stiff glove for this reason. The part of the glove where your hand uses the glove, should be soft to get a better feel for the ball. Almost like a second skin. The shallow part I agree on 💯

My main question is should I get a Rawlings, heart of the Hide, or Wilson a2000? And when I get the glove, what should I do while breaking it in to make sure it has the right pocket and everything. Thanks so much for everything u do! U earned a new sub!!

@ballgloveking 2 жыл бұрын

Alright so Rawlings and Wilson are both fantastic. If you want a Wilson, get a 1786 model. They are 11.5” and have an extremely universal shape so breaking it in will be less stressful. For Rawlings I’d recommend one that says PRO200 in the model number because those are very universal liked gloves as well. I’m more of a Rawlings fan personally but the 1786 is honestly the perfect glove for someone who doesn’t know much about breaking in the glove. Break in tips- Use a mallet or maybe a softball if you don’t have a mallet. You wanna hit away on the Palm Heel and Pocket! I don’t like using the softball a lot for the pocket because you don’t the pocket to be bigger than your baseball. If you go watch some more videos I talk quite a bit about breaking the glove in, make sure to watch the “how to break in a stiff glove” video

I think you’d find that a lot of infielders during Jeters prime era broke their glove in similarly and very few put two in the pinky slot. The flare for infielders is “relatively new” so not sure it’s fair to call out him out specifically for his form as if he was the only one curling fingers and not flaring his thumb.

@ballgloveking 2 жыл бұрын

I actually have the Jeter glove and the pocket is very shallow. It only becomes deep when you shape it so it folds "thumb to pinky".. which is what most modern players seem to do. But the way Jeter wears it, he folds "thumb to index finger". That way its much shallower and easier to transfer. However, I do agree about the glove being too soft/floppy.

My mid-infield glove I got years ago when I was younger was a 11.5 Nuke DE Edge. It had a basket-web and ended up being broken in with one hinge. I ended up playing second base a lot when I got back into baseball last year and I realized how bad it was when I started watching these videos. It's way too soft for infield with too deep of a pocket, but I only had that glove so outfielding from me was terrible. Now I finally have an outfield glove (albeit that being the GG Elite was BGK said was not that good) and now I feel like I need as many gloves as Ball Glove King so I can be better. I'll definitely be watching all these videos and taking notes for when I buy a glove myself to know what's good and what isn't now

On the play where A-Rod and Jeter dropped the ball that was A-Rod's ball. The Third Basemen can call off the shortstop simply because it's an easier route. But still it doesn't matter who catches as long as they catch and make an out. They should have been talking
