What size baseball glove do you get for a 12 year old?

Answer 1

This depends on the position he plays. If he is a middle infielder (Shortstop or Second Base), you would want to get him a smaller glove to improve transfer of the ball from the glove to his throwing hand - about 9-10 in. If he plays outfield, the his glove should be much bigger to improve catching ability. This is about 11-12 inches. For a first baseman, buy a first baseman's glove (it will say on the tag) that is about 12 inches or longer. Third baseman's gloves should be about 11 inches. A catchers mitt is basically any catcher's mit you can hold up. Pitcher's should be around 10-11 inches with a thick web (pocket). If your player has never played before, he will probably be playing second base or outfield, and for him a large glove is recommended. For the average 13-year-old, a 9-12 inch glove is proper.

Answer 2

Youth Baseball gloves come in different inch sizes. An 8-year-old, for example, can probably use either a 10-inch glove or an 11-inch glove, depending on their size and preference. Due to such variation, it's important to try them on in the store.

Answer 3

You should get a -11 bat (which means that the weight is 11 ounces less than the amount of inches on the bat) and a glove that's about 10-11 inches.

Answer 4

It depends on the size of your child. Most 7 yr olds are going to wear an 11"-11 1/2" glove. Make sure that you get a glove that is easy for them to squeeze when it is on their hand.
