I asked this on another forum several months ago so I apologize if you've already answered this question.
DD played 1B this year and really took to it, so I was thinking about getting her a firstbaseman's mitt.
As I looked around the internet, the mitts were hard to find. I saw a couple that looked good and were marked way down, but I hesitated and they were gone.
Then I noticed at a couple NPF games we went to this year that the 1B on both teams were using regular fielding gloves.
She likes her glove just fine and isn't asking for a mitt, but I didn't know if it would be to her advantage to have a 1B mitt. (deeper pocket maybe? I don't know). This past summer I looked in some sporting goods stores, looking to see if I could find something she could try on. Those stores were set up primarily for baseball and in one store they said that 1B mitts for baseball and fastpitch are the same. The 13" 1B mitt in that store looked (to me) smaller than DD's 12" fielding glove.
Her existing glove (12+" SSK) has a solid web and I think it would be to her advantage to have the # pattern that you can see thru. Otherwise is there a benefit to having a 1B mitt in addition to her regular glove?
Or am I just giving in to my nature to want to buy more toys
