Best Baseball Gloves in 2023

As a sport, Baseball demands a lot from players in terms of skill, athleticism, and strategy. And when it comes to equipment, the player's glove is one of the most crucial items. Choosing the right glove can make a significant impact on a player's performance.

Different positions on the field require different types of gloves. There are many types of gloves available in the market, each designed for a specific position. Here are some of the best baseball gloves for each position:

Catcher's Mitt: The catcher's mitt is the largest and most heavily padded glove on the field. It is designed to protect the hand from the high speeds and impact of a pitched ball. The Wilson A2000 Superskin is considered one of the best catcher's mitts in the market, offering a comfortable fit, great durability, and excellent pocket depth.

First Baseman's Glove: The first baseman's glove is another unique piece of equipment that's designed to help players field ground balls and catch throws from other players. The Rawlings Pro Preferred PROSFM20C is an excellent choice for first basemen. It's made from high-quality leather and features a deep pocket for easy catching.

Infielder's Glove: Infielders need a glove that's easy to move and control. The Wilson A2K 1786 is one of the best infielder's gloves in the market. It is made from high-quality leather and features a shallow pocket for quick and easy ball retrieval.

Outfielder's Glove: Outfielders need a glove that's larger and more flexible than other positions, allowing them to catch fly balls with ease. The Mizuno Pro Limited Edition GMP700AXO is one of the best outfielder's gloves available. It is made from high-quality leather and features a deep pocket for catching and securing the ball.

Pitcher's Glove: Pitchers need a glove that's lightweight and easy to control. The Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO205-9TIFS is one of the best pitcher's gloves in the market. It is made from high-quality leather and features a shallow pocket for quick ball retrieval and easy control.

Choosing the right glove is essential for any player as it can significantly improve their performance. The right glove can help players field balls more effectively, catch more accurately, and control the ball better.

The best baseball glove for you will depend on your position and personal preferences. It is crucial to select a high-quality glove that is comfortable, durable, and offers the right level of padding and pocket depth. By investing in a great baseball glove, players can improve their performance and enjoy the game even more.

𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, a smile and a positive disposition, "Okay!". Taking a step forward, Aerith reached for the disconcertingly unsteady metal structure that was clearly her only way across. A flicker of smaragdine eyes surveyed the situation before "Here we go!" and a leap across the wreckage was taken. In a satisfied mannerism, she clenched her fists in a cheering manner, despite her heart in her throat. "Piece of cake!" she exclaimed, walking past her friend as though it were a mid-morning stroll through the slums.

"C'mon! Can't be too much further, right?" She cranes her neck back towards Tifa, her brunette curls fluttering from her shoulder. Momentarily noticing Tifa's demeanour change. While picking her moments, she decides a light comment might serve the purpose. "What's on the menu, Hm?" a beat. "Once we get back!" She swings her boots forward proceeding on once more, arms hanging loosely. "Maybe we can persuade Cloud to part with some Gil for something extra special!" The optimism was met with a light flutter of laughter.

Unconventional munday asks!

             ↳ @glovesup​​ asked : 🤩 who is someone in your RPC that you admire? 

there’s a handful of people I could list here, but then I’d be worried I forgot someone ((((((((: so imma go with two because I couldn’t decide on just one ahsdsjhdgsdy

@sicsemper​​​  i attacked mika back in august last year, because i was absolutely in awe of his writing -- anything i would see on the dash, i would read, and i was waiting for my opportunity to creep in like !! everything he writes truly captures the depth of the character, down to the smallest detail -- his writing is **chef’s kiss**, and i aspire to write just half as decent as him. I don’t get the chance to read a lot of books, so this as close to it as i’m going to get right now. I live for his meta’s, when he starts going off on discord, i’m fed for the week. I’ve learnt so many extra little things about xv -- and considering i’ve been a long time fan, since versus -- it’s refreshing to analyse things in a new light -- like some of the lore and deeper references -- truly that man’s mind is wonderful, ( insane but -- ) and i thoroughly enjoy his presence -- tru m8 ;)

@sunlilted​​​ -- nYX!!!  when i tell you that i live for our discussions on discord - WE’VE had a lot of behind the scenes with these boys for many months, and i’m always thrilled to read about a thought they’ve had !! things that we know, but we don’t know the in depth -- like one time they told me about beads, the symbolic value and even how certain colours hold placement in nyx’s community. that’s just ONe example -- But, when nyx does swing around on the dash -- i just lose my shit. it’s wonderful to see someone who writes nyx, cares and fleshes him out so deeply, and isn’t just used there because he’s a pretty man ( i mean he is, but ) honestly, i feel blessed to have found their blog and seeing them around -- even on oc’s just brings me joy and happiness. <3

she’s got the bar running as usual, but there’s an unsuspecting cake tucked away for a particular occasion. once the clock strikes twelve, a keen and excited brawler cues the patrons with the secret code ( they were filled in prior to all of this, of course ) — and the bar erupts in a unanimous, joyful burst of HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! tifa smiles, gloved hands him a party hat just for the birthday boy. her own wish soon follows, smiling all the way through. “happy birthday, noctis.”

Noctis’ birthday 2022.   @glovesup​

AS THE BAR ERUPTS WITH THE SONG  ,  a lot of them singing off key  ,  Noctis’ cheeks flush.   He wasn’t one that liked having the attention on him.   Easily slipping back into that awkwardness as his head dips and eyes find the wooden top of the bar.   Even as the party hat nestles on his hair.   Though there is a smile on his face as he rubs the back of his neck in an almost sheepish kind of manner.

Many people clapping him on the back  ,  one particular large hand had him almost cant forward over the bar while the air rushed from his lungs and he coughed.   

❝ Thanks. ❞   Still spoken somewhat awkwardly  ,  ocean hues glancing around at those who now seemed to be using the day of his birth as an excuse to drink even more.   Drinks lined up on the bar in front of him  ( one he was told to be careful of as it was a concoction. )  

He reaches over the bar  ,  taking the brawler’s gloved hand in his own and offering a warm smile.  It had been a while since he’d last even thought about celebrating his birthday   --   but right now he couldn’t think of any place he’d rather be.

[ mostly me, admiring from afar ] your writing is very detailed; it's obvious you study the depths of the characters you pursue, but also - your personality! it definitely shines through blogs. you're pretty personable 😊

AWRAXAWRAXA THANK YOU SO MUCH. It means a lot to me that you’re still around and that you enjoy my portrayal and that you can tolerate me as well awraxa. You’re really awesome, so happy to see you again and hope you’ve been well!

@glovesup​ asked: she gently leans against him with specks of pink tickling the fairness of her cheek all the while. Send me soft things - ALWAYS ACCEPTING

Tifa had decided to join Cloud this evening, not that she really needed to - and he had told her as much, if in passing. Still, he was grateful for the company at least, even if small talk wasn’t his strongest suit, but surely Tifa knew that about him already. 

Strife had never been a fan of guard duty detail, it was a mind-numbingly boring job, but at the fact of the matter remained that someone had to do it, and if that someone just so happened to be him, then he’d take one of the team. 

The shift had begun much how he’d expected; in silence, the only sounds filtering into the clearing being the crackle of the camp fire and the cicadas chirping nearby. That was until the girl crept closer, much to Cloud’s rather ignorant eye before she’s casually leaning against his shoulder, while he poked the kindling idly with a stick.  

It wasn’t unusual behaviour, not by any means, and Strife chose to pay her no real mind in that moment save for the single arm he habitually hung about her shoulders - the pair had shared plenty of embraces in the past that this seemed to him, to be the most natural thing in the world. But when he dared to shift his gaze her way, that smattering of pink dusting her face caught him off kilter, reducing him to blinking at her stupidly for a second... or twenty. 

“You okay...?” he asks, the puzzlement quite evident in his tone as well as with the subtle arch to his brow. Her expression was strange, Cloud surmises then... she’d never looked at him like that before. 

Maybe she was getting sick...?

the last of us sentence starters.   |  @glovesup​:  ❝ here, lean on me. ❞

    ‘ I’M ALRIGHT ’,  he wants to say. the kneejerk reaction to anyone offering him any kind of assistance, for as long as he can remember. cloud knows that she’ll be frustrated.  (  worse than that, hurt. it’s a tricky situation,  &  one he’s not quite accustomed to manoeuvring.  )  instead of immediately rejecting her help, he instead hesitates. takes a moment, brow furrowing slightly as a result of his overthinking. 

     “ that’s ... ”  he starts, opting to express his need for independence through reassuring gestures, rather than words alone. with a look of subdued disgruntlement, cloud rolls his shoulder.  ‘ hurts like a bitch ... ’  he thinks, lashes curtaining his eyes. a familiar voice whispers to him,  ‘ c’mon, we’ve been through worse, ’  and like clockwork his eyes flicker open. fingers furl, then unfurl.

    “ thanks, but i’ll be fine. just caught me off guard, is all. ”

glovesup liked ♡ for a starter !

            "wow --- there are a lot of contenders on this list, huh?" she gazes up at the lineup of people who have signed up in the latest cup phil is hosting. she had heard stories of the coliseum from sora before, and though she hadn't planned on arriving on this world, she had somehow found herself signing up in the tournament. she didn't really care about the prize or the glory of being the winner, but if she could make it far enough. . . then maybe she could prove she had what it took to be a keyblade wielder and fight alongside her friends. this was, after all, where heroes were made, right?

            "i wonder -- did you come all this way just to be a part of this, too, tifa?"
