Good Morning DFP,
Looking for recommendations for a 10U player (rising 5th grader) with a $150 budget. Don't know her hand size, but she's definitely strong, if not big, for her age. I think the glove she's using now is a hand-me-down, but it opens nice and wide, and may be fine with a re-lacing, but her mom asked for help in choosing one, and outside the Akadema 60% off sale, I'm really not finding a fraction of the deals I was expecting due to the virus.
RHT, plays mostly 3B and OF - it's 10U, we still rotate the players, but long term (12-14U), probably a CI position due to a lower top speed..
I'm thinking no bigger than a 12.25, probably stick with 12", unless a particular 11.75 would be suitable for 2-3 innings in the OF per game. Current glove is dark brown or black - I don't think color is too much of an issue.
Thanks in advance for the help.
