What is the best 3rd base baseball glove?

Answer 1

For third base, typically, you want a larger infield glove like 11.5 or 11.75. The ball gets on you faster there than shortstop or second, and there are times when as a third baseman, your job is to just knock a ball down, or get a glove on it, so a larger infield glove is more ideal for this.

Answer 2

I'm a high school third baseman and I use an 11 1/2 inch glove. I would say 12 inches is the largest you would want to go, and 11 would be fine. 11 1/2 is optimal for someone with a normal sized hand -- they can get the ball out fast enough and the ball shouldn't bounce around inside of it.

Ive played third base my hole life and just recently bought a bigger mitt...12 3/4 and i love it. I guess its just preference.

Answer 3

I can't give you the exact size when I haven't been able to measure his hands. Maybe you could e-mail me the measurements and I can suggest some to try. It also depends on the feel and brand. So, I should be able to tell by looking at a pic or something like that.

Answer 4

The position doesn't affect the size glove you need.

A glove size varies depending on your hand the sizes are your hand size.

The size is referring to the part you put your hand inside. If you want to purchase a glove i advise you go to a store and try them on to make sure your hand fits inside. Make sure it fits comfortably. =)

About a 12in glove will do fine, i use a 14" but i feel it is too big. you have to be able to get the ball out quick, and you dont want the glove so big that you cant close it completly.
