Size charts
Glove size is measured in inches along the outside of the glove — from the tip of the index finger, down the length, to the centre of the heel. It is not a hand measurement. Mitts are measured around the circumference. Every range below is a starting point, not a rule.
Glove size by position and age
General size ranges
| Position | Typical size range |
|---|---|
| Middle infield (2B / SS) | 11.25" – 11.75" |
| Third base | 11.5" – 12" |
| Pitcher | 11.75" – 12.25" |
| Outfield | 12.5" – 13" |
| First base mitt | 12.5" – 13" |
| Catcher's mitt | 31" – 34.5" circumference |
| Utility / youth all-purpose | 10.5" – 11.75" |
Ranges are starting points, not rules. Preference and hand size move players up or down within a range.
Youth sizing by age
| Age | Typical infield | Typical outfield |
|---|---|---|
| 6–8 | 9" – 10.5" | 10" – 11" |
| 9–11 | 10.5" – 11.5" | 11" – 12" |
| 12–13 | 11" – 11.75" | 11.75" – 12.5" |
| 14+ | 11.25" – 12" | 12.5" – 13" |
Buying a glove a player has to grow into usually costs them a season of clean reps. Fit the athlete you have now.

Brands differ. When you're between two sizes, size down for a tighter feel and up if you dislike pressure across the knuckles.
