Mizuno Prospect Youth Baseball Glove for Kids - Perfect for Little League Games & Baseball Practice

First year of playing organized baseball, I was a little worried about size and type of glove to get my 8 year old son. Read a review of good gloves for kids and this kept showing up. Glad I got it. After he got comfortable with catching a baseball correctly with a smaller glove we already had, after a few weeks he asked for a little bigger glove. I had already ordered this glove for this eventuality. Only a half size bigger. We took it to the next practice and he was catching balls like a champ. No breaking in, no "getting used" to it, easy to squeeze. Put it on and snag baseballs. Some kids on the team have these cool looking, giant, heavy, stiff gloves and they look silly because they can't handle those things. They can't catch with them. He really likes this glove and is even using it when he plays catcher. I would get another one of these when he is ready to size up again. Great youth baseball glove!
