Or any glove, if there isn't a difference.
We got DD a first base mitt for Christmas. Her first tournament is in Jan, another in Feb, but her season runs in earnest from May-July.
We are going to have it steamed, she practices 2x/wk right now. We will oil it and can strap it between uses, if that makes sense for a first base glove.
How long before she should expect to be game ready with it? I hear the break in is pretty quick, but I don't want her racing out with a fun new glove when old faithful is a better option. Is there something more/else we should do?
