Elite Material & Performance Features

• Full-Grain Kip Leather: Sourced from high-quality hides, this leather is tighter-grained and more supple than steer hide, providing a smooth finish and a firm feel that "breaks in" to your specific hand shape perfectly.
• Intricate Mint Patterning: This model features unique mint-colored pattern detailing on the leather, offering a distinct visual style that sets you apart behind the dish.
• Pittards® Sheepskin Palm Lining: The interior is lined with world-class sheepskin that wicks away moisture and provides a buttery-soft feel, keeping your hand cool and comfortable during intense doubleheaders.
• 100% Wool Padding: Higher-grade wool padding helps the mitt retain its shape for multiple seasons while providing superior impact absorption on high-velocity fastballs.
• Pro-Grade Lacing: Heavy-duty rawhide lacing ensures the pocket stays secure and the fingers remain stiff, even after a full season of blocking and receiving.
• Padded Thumb Sleeve: An integrated sleeve offers additional protection and support, reducing the risk of "thumbing" a ball and minimizing impact sting.

Sizing & Fit Advice

The 33-inch Pro Preferred mitt is the industry standard for elite catchers who demand a balance between a large target and lightning-fast agility.

• Target Audience: The 33" size is the preferred choice for high school, collegiate, and professional catchers. It provides a reliable surface area for receiving while allowing for the quick hand-to-ear transition needed to throw out baserunners.
• Break-In Profile: Pro Preferred leather is designed for a 60% Player / 40% Factory break-in. Because kip leather is more pliable than traditional steer hide, you can reach a game-ready state faster, though the 100% wool padding ensures the mitt won't get "floppy."
• The 200 Pattern: This mitt is built on a pattern that creates a deep, centered pocket. This is ideal for catchers who want to "stick" pitches and prevent the ball from rattling in the glove, helping to influence the umpire's strike call.
• Style and Visibility: The contrast between the black shell and the mint pattern provides a sharp, clear target for your pitcher, making it easier for them to hit their spots under various lighting conditions.
