Hey, I'm Mike and I'm here to show you how to measure a glove today. Whenever you get
your glove, you're going to take the glove, and you're going to measure from the base
of the mitt to the outside of the edge of the glove. This way you can get the gage of
how long the glove is, that should give you the measurement of the glove. Many of these
gloves, you'll find, will have a measurement already written there for you so, you'll have
an indication of how long the glove is without having to manually measure it. There are many
different types of gloves that you can use in baseball, there's infield mitts, such as
this one, there's also, outfielders mitts that are a bit larger in size. The difference
between the two gloves, the infielder mitt is more shallow and shorter to be able to
get the ball out and in a quick fashion to make quick plays in the in field. The outfielders
mitt is much times larger because the speed to get the ball out isn't as much. Also, it
allows you to get greater reach when you reach for a fly ball, There are also, differences
in depth of the pocket, the deeper the pocket the harder it is to get the ball out. So,
infielder must shoot for a much more shallow pocket where as an outfielder may want a much
larger pocket so, he can keep that ball secure. And this is how you measure your glove.
