Hey I'm all for individuality, and for a person who knows what they like, and what works for them. But I've been to way too many showcases, elite camps, and invite camps, now this really doesn't apply to showcase tournaments, but at these camps those college coaches will let the girls know right quick a 12.5"+ glove is too big for 3B and middle infield! I've seen it said and happen multiple times.We have 3 LA gloves. DD#1 has 13” H-web she uses for pitching & MI. Never had any issues with balls popping out of this glove.
I’m a proponent of using the biggest glove you can handle so for me 12” is too small. I’m probably in the minority on this site but I wouldn’t go smaller than 12.5 for any position.
