Pitcher Gloves
Pitchers want a closed web so hitters can't read the grip - that's the pattern you'll find here, drawn from the wider baseball glove range.
How to choose: look for a solid or basket web and a size around 11.75"-12" that balances concealment with fielding your position. See time in the infield too? Keep a true infield glove in the bag.
A pitcher’s glove has a closed web that hides the ball and your grip from the hitter, so they can’t guess which pitch is coming. It’s also designed to be comfortable during the pitching motion and solid enough for fielding comebackers.
Most adult pitchers use a glove between 11.75" and 12.25", with 12" being the most popular size, like the Rawlings R9 12" or the Mizuno MVP Prime 12". A slightly bigger glove helps hide the grip and gives more fielding range. See our glove buying guide for sizing by age.
Pitchers need a closed web that hides the ball, such as:
Two-piece closed webs, like the classic web on the Wilson A2000 B2
Basket webs, flexible and fully closed
Modified trap webs, a popular choice for pitchers who also play other positions
Play catch regularly and work the glove along its natural break point so it closes comfortably. For a game-ready glove faster, try our Mitt Master glove break-in service or our glove break-in products.
