Baseball Gloves & Mitts by Age Group & Field Position

AJN-15 Professional 11.25" Baseball Infield Glove
AJN-15 Professional 11.25" Baseball Infield Glove

Akadema Baseball Infield Gloves

Infield baseball gloves are usually specifically designed for 2nd basemen, shortstops, and 3rd baseman. Infield gloves tend to to be shorter and smaller. The shorter and smaller glove allows for a quicker transition from glove to throwing hand. The quicker the transition time, the quicker a double play gets started, the quicker the turn at 2nd base, and the quicker the throw to any base in order to get a fast base runner. Infield gloves are usually 11, 11 1/4, or 11 1/2 inches long.

Akadema Baseball Outfield Gloves

Outfield gloves are usually longer than infield gloves. Outfield gloves are usually 11 3/4 inches, or longer. The increased length helps an outfielder catch a fly ball on the run or while diving. In addition, the extra length of the glove allows for the outfielder to pick up a ball while on the run. Fielding a ground ball on the run allows the outfielder to get into a good throwing position quickly and throw out the base runner trying to get the extra base.

Akadema Baseball Pitcher's Gloves

Pitcher's gloves usually have a closed webbing to allow them to get a grip on the ball without tipping their pitches. Other than the closed webbing, it is usually up to the pitcher to determine their needs in order to feel comfortable fielding a ball off of the mound. Keep in mind, that some leagues have rules against two tone, or multi-colored, gloves.

Akadema Baseball Catcher's Mitts

Catcher's mitts have extra padding and a hinged, claw-like, shape that helps them to catch 90+ mile per hour fastballs, in addition to providing a good target for pitchers to throw at. If required, to catch a knuckleball pitcher, a catcher will typically use an even larger catcher's mitt.

Professional
Every Akadema Professional Series glove is designed for selected positions. Each Akadema Professional glove is created with the exclusive intention of elevating a player's performance on the field.

Precision Kip
The leather within Akadema's Precision Kip Series gloves is 20% lighter and denser grained than steerhide. Akadema's Kip leather is harvested in Europe and tanned in Japan. Akadema's Precision Kip Series gloves are more flexible, break in easier, and are stronger than the glove lines of Akadema's competitors.

ProSoft™
Akadema's game ready gloves. Akadema's ProSoft™ gloves are light and playable right from the store; Akadema's ProSoft™ Series are constructed to give a player the unmatched fit and feel right from the very first catch.

Reptilian®
Akadema's patented Reptilian® Design Series by Akadema Professional is a blend of knowledge meeting progress. This innovative web, pocket, and near finger-less design has many features that isolate it from the normal ball glove. The look and performance of Akadema's Reptilian® Design Series will make all other baseball gloves obsolete.

Praying Mantis®
The Praying Mantis® catcher's mitt, by Akadema, is the most innovative catcher's mitt ever to hit the market. Akadema's Praying Mantis® catcher's mitt was developed with many unique features that set it apart from the competition.

Funnel™
Akadema's latest innovation, the Patent Pending Funnel™ is sweeping across professional baseball infields everywhere! In response to the large number of professional infielders who bend the thumb and pinky fingers of their gloves outward creating a glove that remains open rather than closed in it's natural state, Akadema has created the Funnel™.

Prodigy
Dedicated youth baseball players are discovering Akadema's Prodigy Design Series (Ages 8-13). Akadema's Prodigy Design Series has quickly gained a reputation as the standard for quality and durability for dedicated youth ballplayers.

Rookie
Akadema's Rookie Series was developed for younger players (Ages 5-9) who are dedicated and want to play like their favorite professional players. Akadema's Rookie Series gloves are constructed with soft full grain leather and are designed to be comfortable and easily broken-in.
