Easton Elite Series Catchers Mitt

Yes, it is designed with a faster break-in process. While it will still need a little bit of work to shape it to your hand, the supple leather lining and specialized welting mean you won't need to spend weeks softening it up.

The Quantum Closure System is an adjustable open-back design that allows you to tighten or loosen the fit around your wrist. This ensures the mitt stays secure on your hand during high-velocity pitches, providing better control and comfort throughout long innings.

The two-piece solid web is specifically engineered to absorb the impact of high-velocity pitches, which helps reduce sting. It also provides a stable pocket that allows for quick ball transfers, making it easier to get the ball out and throw to base runners.

Because this is high-quality steerhide, you should treat it with a quality glove conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out. Avoid using heavy oils that can make the mitt too heavy, and always store it in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the rawhide lacing.

Yes, this specific model is configured for a Left Hand Throw (LHT), meaning the mitt is worn on the right hand.
