For parents of junior high school baseball players: Points to note when asked to buy an all-around glove
I will write on this theme.
I wrote this article with the same content in January last year (2024), but then again! Thankfully, we receive similar inquiries every year, so we will be repeating this topic over and over again.

As the new year begins, I think it’s the season for joining a new team or changing positions.
In addition, when purchasing new hardball gloves, customers and guardians of elementary school and junior high school students should“I don’t know what to buy!”I think there are many cases where this happens.
It’s difficult to choose a glove when there are so many.
I would be happy if I could help you in some way so you don’t get confused when choosing a glove.
▼Choosing an “all-round glove” is dangerous
When you are serving customers at a store
Many customers say, “My instructor told me, “Until you decide on your position, please buy all-around gloves.”
Of course, when it comes to purchasing a new glove, if you’ve just joined the team, your position hasn’t been decided yet.
In other words, “all-round use” means “a glove that is relatively easy to use in any position.”
It’s big enough to be used as a pitcher, infielder, or outfielder.
(There are other detailed rules such as the web shape and the combination of body color and string color.)
However, if you look at the lineups offered by each manufacturer, you will see that there are not many types of “all-round” hardball gloves.
▼Purchase gloves that match your body and hand size
For those of you who already know this, I’m sorry to sound like Buddha, but the most important thing when choosing a glove is to choose a glove that matches your body and hand size.
Especially when starting “hardball baseball” in the first year of junior high school, there are likely to be players who are still around 150cm tall, and in that case, a typical “all-round” baseball ball will be too large.
The key to choosing a glove is not to choose based on position, but based on body size and playing style.
therefore···
If you haven’t decided on your position yet and feel that a general all-rounder is too big, you can use an infielder’s glove depending on your body size and hand size.
#I’m going to take a quiz here.
#This also applies when the position is fixed.
For example, Shohei Ohtani is a pitcher, but he uses an outfielder’s glove.
That’s because a regular pitcher’s glove would be too small for Otani.
Even if you are a first-year junior high school student who is about 150cm tall and has decided that you want to play the outfield, a standard outfield glove may be too big for you.
There is no way that an outfielder who is 150cm tall and an outfielder who is 180cm tall would use the same outfielder’s glove.
In that caseYou can choose an infielder’s glove as long as it suits your body size and hand size.is.
For middle school and high school students who are growing up, I think it’s best to choose based on body size and hand size, rather than being too tied to the position.
You’ll be able to handle the grab better that way, and your technique will simply improve.
#It’s OK to play the outfield with an infielder’s glove.
To be extreme, there is no problem in terms of the rules if you pitch with an infielder’s glove (as long as it’s a solid color), so “Please buy an all-around glove” can be interpreted in various ways.
For that child, a typical infield size may feel like an all-rounder.
The staff at the baseball specialty store will tell you whether you really want to buy an all-round glove (Wilson DU model, 33 model, WP Kuwata model, Z 450 model, etc.) or whether you should buy a glove that matches your body size and hand size. I think it would be a good idea to consult with Mr.
▼What position do you want to do?
When you’re serving customers who are in their first year of junior high school or high school, you may find yourself having trouble choosing a glove because your position hasn’t been decided yet.
#I totally understand how you feel!
But think about it.
There are very few players (such superstars) whose position is decided the moment they join the team.
#As long as it’s not “Shohei Otani”.
That’s why you don’t have to decide on a position! (It’s natural that it’s not decided yet.) Therefore, I think it’s a good idea to clarify to yourself the position you want to play (the position you’re good at).
This depends on the circumstances of the team, but in some cases you may initially play the position you want to play, or in other cases your coach may direct you to a position based on your individual abilities or the team’s position.
Even so, it might be a good idea to keep in mind, “I want to work in ○○ position!” and I hope you keep that in mind for the future.
By the way, Sawaki played shortstop when he was in elementary school, but when he was in the first year of junior high school, he became an outfielder due to team circumstances.
I actually wanted to play shortstop, so I practiced the infield all the time on my own after the general practice (as if to show off in front of the teacher), and I successfully became shortstop (lol)
#Appeal is important.
That’s why I feel so happy when I meet a customer who can confidently say, “I haven’t decided on a position, but I want to be an infielder, so I’m buying an infielder’s glove!”
#Uncle Sawaki makes me happy.
＃Tears are fragile.
Of course, there may be cases where you don’t have the position you want yet, so it’s important for junior high school students to experience various positions and experience the advantages and difficulties of each position, which can be a great asset. It will be.
#I’m rooting for you.
▼Let’s go to a baseball specialty store with a glove!
I’m sorry that it’s a little long.
If you have run out of hot milk, please microwave a second cup.
lastly
I’ll write about important things.
What I definitely recommend when purchasing gloves:“Let’s go to a baseball specialty store with the glove we’re currently using!”That’s what it means.
This has been sent out about 70,000 times so far (today is the 70,000th time).“The glove is the player’s medical record.”is.
As the saying goes, “The name expresses the body.”“The glove represents the player.”That’s why.
By looking at the catching surface of a glove, you can get a good idea of how the player uses the glove, how he catches the ball, and how he moves during play, even without watching the player play, and this can be helpful when choosing a glove.
If the glove you are currently using is easy to use, purchase a glove with a similar design.
If you want a glove that’s a little bigger than the one you’re currently using, buy a slightly larger glove.
I want to try a different glove design than the one I’m currently using…
etc.
The standard for everything is the glove you are currently using, so go to a baseball specialty store with the glove that is the standard.
#You can also adjust the mold there.
Of course, this applies not only to Baseball Mario, but also to any baseball specialty store in the country.
When you change your smartphone model, you will need to bring your current smartphone with you to transfer data.
In the same way, you can carry over the glove you are currently using (the player’s defensive data) when selecting a new glove.
Everyone would like to find a glove that suits them and an easy-to-use companion glove!
If that’s the case, the best way to increase your chances of finding a glove that suits you is to bring along the gloves you’re currently using.
*If you do not have a glove, please take a photo of the ball-catching surface of the glove you are currently using.

Sorry, I tried to write quickly, but I started typing and got so excited that it ended up being a long post.
To summarize the contents of the article
■Choose a glove that is the right size for your body!
(It’s OK to play the outfield with an infielder’s glove.)
(Size that fits the body rather than an all-rounder)
■Find the position you want!
■Let’s go to a baseball specialty store with a glove!
There are three points…
I would be happy if I could be of some help.
The cold days continue.
Everyone please take care of yourself.
So that’s it for today.
