A first base mitt is a glove specifically designed for first base. It has a rounded edge (like a MITTen) and is considerably larger than normal fielding gloves. Also, it has a layer of thick padding around the outside. All three of those things are designed to make it easier to cleanly scoop throws from infielders in the dirt. In addition, it has a little extra padding in the middle, although not nearly as much as around the outside. It is illegal to use it anywhere else but first base.

Note: Gloves are used by for Fielders - Pitchers, Infielders, Outfielders because they have fingers like a glove. Mitts are used by Catchers and First Baseman positions because they don't have fingers, like mittens.
