How listings are labeled
| Listing | Throwing hand | Mitt goes on |
|---|---|---|
| Right-hand throw (RHT) | Right | Left hand |
| Left-hand throw (LHT) | Left | Right hand |
The label describes the hand used to throw, not the hand that wears the mitt.
Before ordering custom
Confirm the player’s throwing hand directly. Do not rely only on a photo or which hand they write with. Throwing-hand selection affects the entire mitt and should be settled before the build begins.
