I've had good luck with Ebay. Bought all our bats there (last year model always saves lots of $$ (three daughters)). Both listing are for new gloves. My dilema will be is how will another glove fit in her backpack with all those half empty water bottles! LOL
I hear Ya!!! Not sure why kids can’t clean-out their bags after each practice/game. One of the World’s great mysteries.

Has your daughter ever used a first base mitt? They're a completely different fit and feel from a middle infield glove. It's also helpful to try out several lengths.

Whichever brand, model, or price point, be sure to do your research and find a 1B glove modeled after the Rawlings DCT pattern!

The Cat’s post above is right on the money. Take a look at the Vinci RV1961-L, it’s a great pattern that’ll work equally well at 1B and in the outfield........if you’re not 100% committed to a dedicated 1B mitt.

I have a OF who is being moved to 1B on my 18u team because she is unusually tall at 5'5". She uses a 13" Mizuno for both positions now.
Thank goodness, because if they did it would end up on their bedroom floors
