Daughter is moving up to 12u and playing with the bigger 12inch ball. I need to get her a glove. She is small and plays ss/2nd.
Basically everyone i see is using a 12inch or bigger glove especially when u move up to the 12inch ball. The issue is that at more advanced levels true infielders are using 11.5 or 11.75 inch gloves. Even in highschool etc. Its counter intuitive for a small 11yr old to be using a 12 when 18 yr old girls are using 11.75 or smaller. Thoughts?
Her best attribute and differentiator is her speed moving the ball out of her glove and throwing it. I want to keep that going.
