Best Answer

The two terms (glove, mitt) are interchangable but actually define two different types of defensive equipment. The word 'mitt' is short for mitten. When thinking about cold weather gear, mittens don't have individual areas for fingers as do gloves. Therefore, the catcher and the first baseman are the two fielders that wear mitts while all others wear gloves.
