Choosing the right glove size is essential for comfort, control, and performance on the field. Use this guide to find the perfect fit based on your age, position, and level of play.
| Age Group | Glove Size (inches) |
|---|---|
| 5 – 7 years | 9″ – 10″ |
| 8 – 10 years | 10″ – 11″ |
| 11 – 13 years | 11″ – 12″ |
| 14+ & Adults | 11.5″ – 13″ |
| Position | Recommended Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Infield | 11″ – 11.75″ | Smaller gloves for quicker transfers. |
| Outfield | 12″ – 13″ | Larger gloves for catching fly balls. |
| Pitcher | 11.5″ – 12″ | Closed web to hide grip from batter. |
| Catcher | 32″ – 34.5″ (Circumference) | Special mitt with deep pocket. |
| First Base | 12″ – 13″ (Length) | Long glove with curved edge for scooping. |
If you’re between sizes, go with the smaller one for better control—gloves will break in and stretch over time.
