I use a Yadiar Molina model catchers mitt to catch for my daughter. It has much better padding than any fastpitch mitt, and as long as you break it in with a softball, it works great. There are far more choices available for baseball than for softball, so why wouldn't you at least look in that direction?
Yes they are, they're built better!
Hogwash, baseball gloves are for baseballs and softball gloves are for softballs! Velcro is your friend!
Honestly, I just assumed pocket size would prevent that possibility. Consider me educated.
That still looks very small comparted to what I see college OFs use
Nope, it's all about how you break it in. Don't use the mallets they sell for breaking in a glove as they are designed for a baseball pocket. Some of us here have come up with some alternative ideas on how to make your own mallet for a softball glove.
If you're wanting to stay with a A2000 for outfield, I'd look at something like this OT6 Six-Finger Trap and wear it two-in-the-pinky (TIP).
