Be VERY careful with sizing on catchers mitts. Sizing goes by the pocket size circumference, rather than the gloves length like most fielders mitts. Many baseball dads who have softball daughters assume they can buy any old catchers mitt on the shelf. Please make sure you are buying the correct size!

A 32inch catchers mitt is almost ALWAYS a baseball mitt and the pocket will be WAY too small to fit a softball! If your daughter is playing with the 11inch ball, you should look for a 33-inch catchers mitt. This is the pocket-size needed to fit the 11inch ball. Once your daughter graduates to the 12inch ball, I would recommend spending a little more on this glove, since hopefully, shell have it for a long time if she takes care of it. For the 12inch ball, youll need a 34inch pocket on your catchers mitt.
Catchers mitts are notorious for being difficult to break in, especially when investing in a high-end brand like Wilson or Rawlings, that leather will be STIFF. Make sure you read the section on my best tips on how to break in a mitt.
