Yes. But, those are the $200.00 models and they are given to them. I think that my long time mitt was about $40.00. (SSK, when they were a good company.) But, if you want something that will still be fairly stiff in 2 years, you aren't going to find it on the shelf of your local store. A lot of coaches check their players gloves to see how much life is left in them.Everyone has a rawlings, wilson, nike, and etc.
The OP said that he was buying for a high schooler, so I would be looking at $150.00, to get her through college. Of course, if the college has a glove sponsor, you don't have to worry about your glove.
