Yes — fielding gloves are built for quick transfers, catcher's mitts have extra padding to absorb pitches, and first base mitts have a longer, scooped design to help dig out low throws.
Youth Baseball Gloves
Give a young player a glove they can actually close. These run lighter and softer, sized to smaller hands, in patterns for fielding, catching and first base.

It depends on age and position, but as a starting point, most young players do well with an 9" to 11" glove — check our glove buying guide for a size chart by age.
Softer, lighter leather is easier for smaller hands to close and break in, so young players can actually catch and control the ball instead of fighting a stiff glove.
Once they're comfortable with a pro-style pattern and their hand has grown enough to fill it out — usually around the early teen years, though it varies by player.
Since youth gloves use softer leather, they break in faster than adult gloves — usually just a few sessions of catch, though our Mitt Master service can speed that up if they need it game-ready right away.
A properly fitted glove is more important than room to grow — an oversized glove is harder for a young player to close and control, which can slow their development.
A basic all-around fielding glove is usually the best starting point, since most young players haven't settled into a permanent position yet.
You wear the glove on your non-throwing hand, so a right-handed thrower buys a right-hand-throw (RHT) glove and wears it on the left hand.
