My 8yo son - using a hardball for the first season - had been using my 40-year-old glove and was complaining about the lack of padding. This Mizuno Franchise glove was the best glove I found which was light and soft enough for a kid, but solidly built and padded for real baseballs. So many gloves are simply too big for kids (over 12") or cheap/wimpy t-ball toy gloves. The Mizuno Franchise broke in quickly, will fit for several years, and has snug enough fingers and palm to work for 8-12yo (though its sold as an 'adult glove'.) I literally looked at every baseball fielder glove in Sports Authority and this was head and shoulders the right choice. After two days of break-in and now several weeks of play, no question about it. My kid is now catching reliably and with confidence.

This glove is one of the best you can get for the price! Breaks in amazingly fast, very soft leather. Very lightweight and flexible. The adjust-a-size feature is AWESOME. I play some highly competitive, high school level baseball and this is serving me well.

this is what i call an extraordinary glove this glove meets all the requirements that an infielders need the size is perfect hand fits perfect, thanks mizuno for making besaball gloves like this
