Anyone recommend a catchers mitt for a bucket dad? I have been using a Wilson outfielders glove and my hand is starting to swell up. I think its finally time to upgrade.

I have news for you. A catcher's mitt does not help that much. Especially if your DD is hitting 60+. The index finger and pad below the index finger are permanently about 20% larger than the right hand from the hundreds of thousands of caught pitches. ;)

For a few years, I would get a bruise at the knuckle pad on the base of my index finger that would linger for at least a month. Finally picked up Liberty Advanced mitt and although I occasionally misjudge a drop, I’m not getting the yearly bruise...

I'm happy with the All Star CM3000KM Knuckle Ball Mitt. Fits a man hand and has a bigger pocket for the knuckle ball.

The Liberty Advanced Catcher's mitt has been keeping my hand safe for years. Great glove for the bucket dad and even as a coach I use it.

My problem was finding one big enough. Very, very happy with this glove. From an email I sent to other bucket dads.


Here's the glove I ordered. Arrives in a few days. I'll bring it next Thursday for you both to see. Coupon code brought it down to about $100.
