Catchers and first basemen both use gloves that are quite different from the rest of the position players.
Catcher's mitts have extra padding and are a claw-like shape that helps them to catch a pitchers fastball.
First Base gloves tend to be very large in order to help the first basemen scoop up poor throws.

Why can't you use a first baseman's glove in the outfield?
AnswerBy the rules of MLB, you can use a catchers mitt or even no glove at all in the outfield. The reason they don't use a first baseman's glove is that they don't need to. A first baseman's glove is bigger so that a less than perfect throw, or a liner in foul territory has a better chance of being caught. Outfeilders move to the ball, so they don't need a bigger glove. A first baseman's glove has a flat side, therefore as the outfielder is moving it would be harder for him to catch the ball; also, a first baseman's mitt is heavier than an outfielder's glove.
