Can you use a softball glove for baseball?
A baseball outfielder glove is usually 12 1/2 to 12 3/4 inches from the tip of the index finger to the heel of the glove.

How do you know what size softball glove to get?
It is hard to purchase something like a baseball glove online, you don't know how it feels. I suggest you shop around at the local sporting goods stores and find the one you really like, it is appropriate for your position, age, and price range. Then go back and find the same glove online. The main goal being getting a better price, just remember to add shipping onto whatever price there is, so a site with free shipping and a lower price would be the best. Every glove manufacturer makes a wide range of glove options, I recommend not spending a bundle until you have advanced to a point where you intend to take your sport into the high school and collegiate level, or if you are in a traveling competitive league. If you are going to drop 2-300 on a glove you should be done with most growth spurts and be prepared to keep it in good shape for several seasons, gloves need to be oiled, and restitched when needed, if you do this a really good glove will last you many years.
