We’ve listed five popular models of Mizuno baseball gloves that you might want to think about purchasing if you are in the market for a new mitt. Check them out below.

Mizuno Prospect Series GPP1002 Youth Baseball Mitt $25 to $30
Think of the Mizuno Prospect Series Youth Mitt as a starter glove. At ten inches, it’s the perfect size for t-baller and its V-flex notch is specially designed to initiate closure and then Mizuno’s Power Close technology makes it easier for a tiny hand to maintain a grip on the ball. The mitt features sidebar design, which helps to secure the hand and a parashock pad that reduces the ball’s sting. This is a glove with training wheels. And at only about 25 bucks you’re not going to be taking much of financial hit when your little slugger grows out of his starter glove and needs a more grown up version.

Mizuno GFN1153 Franchise 11.5 Inch Baseball Glove $50 to $75
Some eight to ten year olds are ready for a full-sized glove. And the Mizuno Franchise 11.5 inch glove is the perfect glove to buy for that young infielder who is ready for the same size gove as his big league heros. The adjust-a-size wrist closure of the franchise will make sure this mitt fits less-than full-sized hands and its comfortable hand based pattern won’t put too much stress on still-growing palms. The glove features a deep 3 web and hi-low lacing. It’s been called a “perfect glove for Little Leaguers,” by those who have bought it, and its also been praised for its durability and ease of breaking in.

Mizuno World Win GXF75 Baseball First Baseman’s Mitt $60 to $85
A first baseman’s mitt is technically a mitt rather than a glove because it lacks finger channels — like a mitten. The Mizuno World Win GXF75 is an economically priced first baseman’s “mitt” that has special retro leather, which makes it extra comfortable and easy to break in. It also features a Para Palm shock pad, which will come in handy when the shortstop whips one over on a slow roller. The 12.5 inch mitt is available left handed or right handed and verified purchasers of the World Win GXF75 report that it is as “game ready” as Mizuno says in their promotional material and requires little in any breaking in.

Mizuno GGE51 Global Elite Baseball Fielder’s Mitt $200
This 11.75 glove for infielders and pitchers is counterbalanced, so it removes weight from the fingers and distributes it throughout the glove. It also features ultra-light E-light leather and a tartan shock web. The mitt’s roll-welting further eases the burden of the fingers and makes every spec of the glove work for you. According to Mizuno it’s softest and lightest glove they have ever made. While it may take a bit of time to break this mitt in and take advantage of its willowy softness, those who have purchased the glove say it’s well worth the wait.

Mizuno Pro Limited Edition GMP500 Infield Glove $500
You can list former MVP Jimmy Rollins among the big league middle infielders who use the Mizuno Pro Limited Edition GMP500 Infield Glove. The glove features Speed Drive technology, which means the mitt is perfectly balanced to pro specs. It’s made from Deguchi Kip Leather, which is among the finest in the world, and the 11.75 inch glove has shika palm liner for the ultimate in softness in feel. The glove is eligible for Mizuno off-season conditioning program, meaning you can send the glove into to Mizuno and the will re-lace, re-web or re-oil if for free. Yes, half a grand is a lot to pay for a glove, but this isn’t just any glove.
