$30 vs $300 Baseball Glove (Does it Really Matter??) 

It took me breaking 5 $30-50 gloves in the first 2 years of high school to convince my parents that I needed an actual glove. I was a first baseman with a shortstop throwing 88-93 across the diamond and they thought I “broke them on purpose”. Got 2 $230 heart of the hide gloves (one 1B and one IF) and I am still using them in men’s league 8 years later with just the occasional re-lace. Worth the money easily.

Bought a $300+ dollar glove when i was younger than you back in the 90’s. Used it heavily for at least 15 years and then less frequently as life got in the way of playing. Coach at my kid’s school now and “lost” it a year ago. It was shockingly emotional to the point I had tears in my eyes. It’s crazy the things you think of and the memories you have attached to an object. Looked and looked then finally broke down after a couple weeks and ordered a similar glove which was over $400 now and then promptly found the original, in a box IN MY TRUCK! Lol

"you'd get like 2-3 years out of it" The glove: 3 throws, take it or leave it

Can we get a 10 hr compilation of that A2000 pop for when I go to bed

The best pops are from catcher gloves

I swear last year he was like 12 and now he looks like 18

My father bought me a Wilson A2000 glove in 1980. Now my son, who is 11 years old, uses that same glove. Yes the inside of the glove has worn out some over the years, but it’s still structurally sound. If you take good care of these gloves, they can last a very long time. I believe that it was around $100 back in 1980. Well worth the price in my opinion.

Best sounds in baseball : 1. Hitting a baseball right in the dead center of the bat 2. Cleats on concrete 3. THEN the ball on the mitt

That is the most legendary banana shirt I've ever seen

I have learned from this video to never let the Lapp bros loose in a target...

4:08 is why I subscribed lol

I can relate to the tasting the glove. Nothing better than the taste of pure leather strings! 😄 At first I didn't take this video seriously as I thought we wouldn't see any decent comparison, just some amateurs goofing around. But it was very entertaining and actually did demonstrate the differences more than I expected. Kudos

Ice is just casually hanging off a fence... Hey, didn't see you there

Who's not the only one noticing that Isaiah has worn those pink shorts in a few of his videos 🤔

Dude the taste test hit me on a level you can't understand. All through my 12u days I just sat at 3rd base chewing my glove nonstop

I've heard harder to break in gloves also deteriorate slower and last much longer because higher quality material is usually a little tougher to loosen up.

As someone who learned the game with a 30$ there is something to be said about working through the faults of the cheap glove. When you know the web won’t support the ball or even broken you get that second hand up.

I thought I was the only who chewed on my strings

The $30 glove would probably be OK with a re-lace job or at least re-lace the pocket. I'm looking hard at getting a custom catchers mitt from 44 gloves for around $200 + give or take depending on how you'd like to embellish it and later a fielders glove, they have many styles and pocket designs to choose from not to mention all of the colors that you pick yourself like main color, web color, stitching, lacing etc.

The smell of the leather glove combined with the smell of freshly cut grass slightly damp from when the sprinkers that watered the infield last night. The sound of your cleats as you take your first practice swings when you dig in on opening day. This nothing better than the sounds, smells and sights of opening day, the sound of a ball hitting the sweet part of your bat when you know for sure it is leaving the park, the smell of those hot dogs that you can only get at a ballpark and the sights of the stands on opening day. Baseball the greatest sport ever, the only sport that celebrates the beginning of it's season, OPENING DAY

3:37 Omgsh yes! We love chewing the laces!😂

There has to be at least one person like me who barely knows anything about baseball but still watches this kind of videos because he’s the one making them

In 98. I started working for the BNSF. I was asked to play on the rail baseball team. I only played hockey my whole life. Baseball was just something I did in the summer with my cousins. I went to MC Sports in Chicago and bought a 40 buck Rawlings. Still have the glove and play catch with it often. Odd how someone can get attached to a thing. But I love that glove lol

I'm still using my brother's hand me down A2000 from like 15 years ago. Works great! Extremely broken in at this point, which some people don't like, but I've always liked that.

$100 Mizuno glove back in high school was the best glove I ever had. Better than any $250 glove I've ever had.

This is what I wait for every Saturday the best RU-vidr

My dude you’re freaking hilarious …love it 😂😂😂

I’ve watched this video about 20 times and I have not skipped through a single time

Minneapolis has planes fly over it every 1 minute. I'm used to it by now

When the airplane was flying over the 1st time, an airplane flew over me at the same time

Subscribed for the plane humor and banter along with the simple sponsor clothing. Funny video quality made glove any day!

Man you made me laugh a lot ... editing on point

“Oh hey, didn’t see ya there”

Please make a compilation of the glove pop 😂 maybe make it 1 and a half hours long😂 I would sleep to it

I got a Wilson A2000 not too long ago. Absolutely love the glove. Very durable. I do recommend

Almost forgot why I clicked the video, great video, editing, creativity and got some laughs 🔥 🔥 🔥

Just because you said “please don’t skip this” I didn’t bc you said please

I use my dads glove from when he was twelve

I love how he did a taste test LOL😂😋

7:53 he kicked the glove a mile

I walk by this baseball field every day, saw them making the video, then saw this video, wondered why high schoolers were abusing a baseball glove.

You should try it next time with a $30-60 raulings glove, because I’ve gone through lots of glove and the threads wear out on me and I’m always rethreading but it’s not like the gloves were cheap but after I grew out of them I ended up getting one of these and it’s been with me for a while now and it’s doing well

This dude is hallarious in all of his vids.he deserves a lot mor subs than he has

I used to have that $30 glove it was the best thinking glove I’ve ever had it was amazing it sit with me about two years and when it finally broke my parents made a lamp out of it

If one of the baseball glove makers watch this they will be like: aw shoot we need to put food in the strings

As a kid in the 70's I played using a cheap Spalding glove from the department store, didn't know any better and couldn't afford it if I did. I outgrew the first glove and searched all over to find one that felt right. Around that time I found a softball glove that the school my neighbor worked at was throwing away, (he brought a dozen or so gloves home and gave them to the kids on the block). I ended up with a bright red full grain leather glove that fit my hand well, I changed up the lacing a bit around the pocket and hand closure and starting using it. I used it for years, and still have it. I replaced it in high school with a pro glove an ex player gave me, (Also a neighbor at the time), I used that in Babe Ruth league in high school for a bit but ended up going back to the old softball glove. It just fit me better and I liked how it trapped the ball better. I haven't played anything more than catch or the occasion weekend game at a barbecue in 30 years, but still keep that old softball glove handy. It sits on a table in my home office. I never took to the new glove and didn't play as well with it. It fit me fine but it wasn't comfortable and the hinge crease didn't want to be where I wanted it to be. I think I later found out that the glove I liked best was a $12 model from some school sports supply house back then. I found out they were donated and the school didn't have a softball team so they sat around for a few years and got tossed. Somewhere I've got another one that never got played, one of these days I suppose it'll turn up again.

Taste and pop always matter 😂 the most important qualities, honestly

Great, fun, and informative clip. Keep it up!

I used to have a 60$ glove and it worked pretty well and still in good condition and it lasted 5 years but I got a 250$ glove and it’s been amazing I’ve been sticking with mizuno my whole life and it’s awesome Mizuno,Wilson and SSK are great glove options

We are in a pandemic and you are tasting globe leather 😂

Bro the chewing on the strings is my favorite thing to do when I am bored

The pop test for the $300 glove give me ASMR tingles

“That’s what you’re gonna get with a $30 glove. They don’t taste as good.” Omg soooo funny. Love Lapp bro’s

I thought I was the only person who tastes the strings

I love your videos good luck on getting to 200k

That time when you are eating your glove and you look down and you ate it all lol 😆

The 30 dollar one was my first glove.Now my dad is playing catch whit it.

Do a video of you reacting to your highlights

Him “what’s a glove without a taste test” Me “a glove” Lol

I have only ever really bought used gloves but like high quality ones. They come pre-broken in and they hold up really well over time kind of the best of both worlds. My favorite is an old mizuno global elite.

He always starts the vid in a random ass spot 😂

I'm in high school now and I use my dad's high school glove from 1980, a good glove will last forever

3:27 I thought it was only me that chewed of my glove LOL

Listen to that reverberation in the pop test🤤

I love how the $30 glove is trying so hard to look like an A2000😂

Most I’ve ever spent was $550 CAD on a glove but realistically the benefits stop after around the $150 range and it becomes a question of added durability and added comfort. Yeah there is some solid gloves for sub $200 but the fit and finish on the high end stuff is incredible

I liked this video the second I seen homie on the gate 🔥🔥🔥

So I’m not the only one that chews my laces on my glove😂😂

The only reason I don’t chew on my laces is because my dog beat me to it

When you have a perfectly mid range glove

Very funny video Zack Morris... Keep rocking...

“I could beat my kids wit this”-Isaiah Lapp 2020

The 30 dollar glove is one of my current gloves......

The $30 glove looks smaller too, just be happy you didn't accidentally buy a lefty glove!

I subscribed when he said what baseball player doesn’t Chew on the strings 😂

7:15 Wood bat hitting a ball: am I a joke to you

Yoo I have a $50 dollar glove and it’s goated I’ve been using it for 5 years

Whoever disliked does not play baseball

I guess I’m not the only one that chewed the strings😂😆

6:20 the sound he makes when the ball hits him in the side has me dead

If you’re really good you can kinda use anything as long as it doesn’t break haha That being said, $30 glove was junk

Yo u know wats funny I've watched him a year then he stopped making baseball vids so I stopped watching him now I'm back a year later seeing wat he uploaded

Bro I died when he tasted the gloves.😭😂😂

Just started playing slow pitch and found my dads old A2000. Probably a 20 year old glove and it’s still amazing. Love the A2000

Not tryin to brag, but my Rawlings glove tastes amazing. 10/10

Do YoU kNoW hOw To CaTcH is what i’m thinking while they’re testing the pop

I’ve had too many 30$ gloves. My senior year of high school ball, I bought the yasiel puig A2000, best purchase I’ve ever made. After 4 years, glove still looks great and has broken in perfectly. Avoid crap gloves!!!

This channnel invented the word underated

I definately see the value of a really expensive glove. I may just play reck baseball, but even in the 15-18 age group that I'm in, my $60 glove is doing just fine. It has lasted me about 4 years now and it's just fine. My only gripe would be that it got flimsy after about a year or two, so pop-ups that I a little over run will hit the tip and flip out, or some scoops will hit the bottom of the glove, and flip out. One last issue with it is that the padding is mediocre. Besides that though, the glove is fine. Overall, a $60 glove isn't bad.

Isaiah can I get a shout out I’m a og been here since 5k no cap

My mans acting like a baseball glove is a 5 star meal

Chewing a glove is like a everyday thing I do lol

Isaiah I bet u won’t heart it if u do I swear to the good man up above that I will like everyone of ur vids EVER this one if u don’t heart then I’ll still like them

The glove doesn’t need to be good, the good is the player

As much as I like the A2000 Wilson makes some really outstanding gloves I currently use the A550

When the coach says you got a hole in your glove 😂😂

this guy definitely doesn't play baseball

I have that same A450 and have had it for 2 years and is still good.

I like the videos you post i have just started watching

ive used a wilson A2000 for as long as i can remember and it is my favorite glove. ive tried so many other gloves and it cant beat an A2000.my dad has used my glove in highschool for three years.then he handed it over to me and ive been using it for 8 years! worth the money.
