Any recommendation for a first base glove? HS class of 2022 (late start).

My girls are from the Philippines, Filipinas! I have one player on the team 5'5" though she shouldn't be on it imho. One is 5'4", one is 5'3, and the others are 5'2 or less, 2 of them are 4'8".

Gotcha. Asians & Latino women seem to be on the shorter side in my experience.

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.

No she has not used a !B mitt before.

I asked because its a transition not that I would suggest one. It's just a different beast especially if she plays different positions. No need for a mitt

I always suggest trying on a lot of gloves. Feel the weight. How does it fell on the hand. Does she like a stiff globe that resists deformation or something supple? Theres a lot of high quality gloves that are under $200.

She likes the glove snug around her wrist. Other than that she has never mentioned any particular preferences. She currently has a 11.75" Glovesmith that she loves. Her sisters 11.5" Glovesmith is 6 years old with one re-lacing (just graduated from College and that glove got a TON of use). Not sure 1st base will be a long term thing. But you never know (I've seen players in college end up in positions they have never played). I'm inclined to go with the Vinci due to the price. But she likes the white Liberty. But still not sure.

You can get a custom Tigress Glove for $210, or stock for less. Comparable to $350 - $550 gloves. I would be happy to help. Guaranteed you love it, or you can return it. Even on customs... www.tigressgloves.com

I just got my daughter a 44 Pro FirstBase glove. Great value not to mention the ability to significantly customize. Spent about $200 for a fully customized glove. Very cool company that seems to be disrupting the market. Popular brand with the younger MLB players .

Thats the glove I would use. Dance with what brung ya. If you're dying to buy another or feel like a longer glove would help her contact glovesmith and ask what they have that is built the same as her current glove but longer

DD's secondary position is 1B (and 3B). She loves the Liberty Advanced.
