I have searched many threads, but cannot get exactly what I am looking for in an answer. I have 3 daughters playing softball but only one plays summer travel ball. She is 8 and is 4' 6" (I think) and about 75 lbs and growing. She played 3rd base in league ball and centerfield in the summer for her travel team. My thinking is she is a pretty good player and a glove is not going to make or break her at this level, but she needs one that fits her hand...if it is comfortable and she can get to the ball she will most likely be able to make a play. With that said, anyone have a recommendation on the best fitting gloves for a young player? I don't' know what position she will end up playing in the future, so I don't want to go all out on something like a Rawlings Heart of the Hide or Wilson A2000...but something that is comfortable for right now and the next couple of years. My 5 year old is using hand-me-downs and my 11 year old will be happy with anything, and her hand is likely going to fit most gloves as she is already 5' 3" and growing. Any advice is appreciated. I have always preferred Rawlings, but willing to look at another brand.
