Baseball equipment: Baseball gloves – Catchers and Pitchers
The previous articles already defined the baseball gloves suited for the first baseman, outfielders and infielders. What is left are the equipments used by catchers and pitchers.

A fast-paced baseball that runs about 90 mph would surely produce a big impact upon any contact. Thus, a catcher’s glove was designed for this purpose. Stronger and built with thick padding, this equipment allows a comfortable catch after every direct throw. A quick response and good timing of the player are also vital in this part of the game.

Lastly, the pitcher’s gloves are not too big or too small for a good hold of the baseball. As the player aims for a throw, the grip on the ball determines pitch direction as well as the speed. The baseball gloves make sure that this grip is not seen by anyone else.
