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. A softball outfielder glove is usually 13 1/2 to 14 inches from the tip of the index finger to the heel of the glove.

It just means that you will have less margin of error when catching the softball because of the smaller pocket a baseball glove has.
