This AF Series catchers mitt is designed for beginner fastpitch catchers playing at a recreational level. This mitt is 31.5 inches, which makes it perfect for a young catcher who is just starting out. Constructed with a combination of cowhide and pigskin, this mitt is very soft out of the box allowing for a fast break-in time. The closed back and Velcro strap gives players plenty of flexibility in creating a custom and secure fit.
