When we were looking to cut our baseball training gloves list down to just 5 gloves, we quickly came across a problem – there are actually a good selection of training gloves on the market.
So, while we could sit here and list the numerous training gloves available (just like every other baseball site) – we decided to change it up a little.
If you’ve been a reader of Mindfuse Baseball for any length of time, you’ll know while we give high-level advanced tips to improve your baseball game, we firmly believe in nurturing youth players too. So, instead of just giving a lowdown on every single good glove out there we decided to choose specific gloves depending on the playing ability of the player you’re purchasing your glove for.
Below you’ll be able to find a selection of gloves that not only accomodate older more advanced players, but we’ve also chosen a couple of gloves to help younger players in their development too.
Again, we are fully aware that there are more gloves that could make this list, and over time, based on our own experience and our readers feedback, we’ll look update this list.
Why Choose a Training Glove?
Game or normal gloves are different to training gloves – and depending on your position and the skills you’re looking to develop you’ll need a different type of glove.
That said, in general you should expect to:
- Develop hand-to-throw transitioning
- Build solid fielding mechanics
- Help younger players deal with ground balls
- Aid with framing training
- And just all-round a brilliant addition to your fielding drills
