HOW TO BREAK IN A BASEBALL GLOVE IN 1 DAY 

You can tell he is a professional Dad when he turns off the light before going outside

Guarantee all his arm gains are just from breaking in gloves😂

Dudes got 4x size arms and is like, “it’s effortless”

Just used your method on a new Rico glove for my 10U son, worked great, he was able to use the next day for practice! He’s so excited to use it in a tournament this weekend!! Thank you so much for the video.

I've probably seen 25 videos on how to break in a glove. I love the focus on breaking in that hinge first. Thanks guys.

Thank You!!! I’ve been trying to break-in my glove for at least 14 days, it took just 1 more day to break it in. This method is the G.O.A.T.

Awesome video! The best glove break in video I have seen and can’t wait to try it tonight. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

Out of all the "glove break in" vids. Yours is the best! The seam...it just makes perfect sense after you show it. Top notch mate!! Thank you! Subscribed!

Just followed your advice to the letter with a high school level nice Mizuno outfielders glove. You made my year already. My son's old glove was a disaster. I ruined it with glove oil. I thought I knew what I was doing. Thank you a million and pray for the best for you and your program. Play ball!

This was spectacular. I hadn't broke in a glove for thirty years so when my kid got her first one I did all the dumb old stuff we did a generation ago and was getting nowhere. Followed this video and my kid can now use the glove she has been wainting so impatiently to use. Thank you guys!!

Great video. I'm a life long Rawlings glove fanatic. It's the only glove I've ever played with and I'll be 53 in September. I just bought a new outfielder glove (that's what I played when I was a kid) and a dozen good leather balls with the raised stitching to play catch with my trainer. Thanks for the great content coach!

Thank you thank you!! My son is 5 and his homework for the week is to break in his very first t-ball glove!! We have to do it by his second practice on Thursday. So happy we found you!!

Great info, thanks! As a baseball dad I really appreciate your content! Keep it up! Thank you!

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing

Awesome video man. Got two gloves coming in today and trying to have them ready for tomorrow so this helps out a ton!

Brilliant vid man... big thanks man, so helpful.

Sound of the pop in that glove… I could listen to that all day!

Love this! My 8 year old boy is super excited about baseball. Learned a lot about this. We upgraded from a 9 inch to a 11.5 inch this week. Time to get to work breaking this bad boy in! Thanks!!! :)

great advice about the hinge...that is usually the stiffest part of the glove and many people aren't strong enough to flex it just by catching balls....I also like to use a heavy ball to form the webbing in the pocket, to really get a deep spot for the ball...with the hinge broken in and the heavy ball to stretch the pocket to the shape of a ball, it is game ready in lightning speed.. the glove just closes right around the ball as soon as it hits the glove after these type methods...thanks guys

Thanks Coach, thanks Nick, great work

I have a 6 yr old grandson that's about to start ball this year and this video and both kids was crazy impressive💯💯💯

Thanks coach, for the great video.

Breaking in 3 gloves at once for the family. This video is a great help with process and result. Surprised to see the little guys handling it too.

love these videos! you're a king bud!

Great video Coach!!!

“Dry as a whistle “😂👍🏼 , thanks for the help sir !

Thank You ! That was very informative, I have a new Rawlings glove that I bought three seasons ago ..still very stiff I will try these methods...

Very impressed with your strategy! Worked well!

Got my 12yr old girl A brand new heart of the hyde softball glove and it showed up today. I was looking for videos and this is the 2nd one I came across. DONE! can't wait to try it out and let you know how goes, appreciated the video boss.

What a great job. Thank you so much.

Thanks for another break in video I’m on to my fourth glove breaking in like this ( Wilson a2000) did it in less than an hour worked perfectly. 👍🏻

luv this!! got 2 to break in!! thanks boys!!

Thanks fellas, good video and definitely helps right now as we're getting our kids back to the game. Appreciate you

Best glove review ever!!

Nice video bro...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great video. Saw a similar method (except he did not turn glove inside out) from a guy named Aso on Wilson's website. I use a 5 lb dumbell instead of the wooden mallet and it works well (the weight on each end of the dumbell has a nice rubberized coating). Just an excellent way of quickly breaking in a glove without weighing it down with oils.

Just got a byron buxton rawlings and its stiff as heck, this seems to be helping! Thank you !

Great video. Thank you

Wish a would have known this when I was a kid know one new how to break in a glove back then outstanding job.

Good job on this video. God bless you brother

Love this

Awsome. Thank you 😊

enjoyed this so much

my outfield has the same form but didnt go through water treatment or flipping it inside out. you can achieve this break in without doing all these things if you arent comfortable, its just that this takes 1-2 days compared to many months or maybe a full year

I see a lot of comments about people asking about in fielders gloves, If your kid is gonna play infield I would invest in a small glove that way the ball doesn't get lost in that pocket while turning a DP, the big glove like coach was showing you on this video is an outfielders glove. I used to play middle infield and I would use 11 or 11.5" glove. Rawlings is a very good glove I like Wilson like the A2000 is a great and expensive glove but like coach said it's an investment I also own a nice Rawlings Gold glove both are great! Great video coach thank you very much!👍

Thank you guys so much 🙏

Amazing content

Yo, does he want a Deep Pocket? Lol I’m just playing, I followed these steps for my sons glove. Magnificent! Thank you

Thank you and my glove turned out exactly how a glove feels and should be broken in.

Thanks for the video I’m trying to break in my two limited edition Wilson A2000 love the moment autism glove and it worked on my first one now on to my second.

Coach HP, This video should get a bunch of views this spring! Good points about gloves being position specific, and the hinges and pocket need to be worked in before playing catch. I think you are misleading some parents with your take on buying a pro quality glove. Glove manufacturers are now making quality gloves that are designed to fit a youth hand. For instances Rawlings makes the R9 series of gloves. These gloves are made of real leather, are tighter on the wrist and fingers, and cost half of what a HoH does. For me, the R9 is the way to go if you are looking for a quality glove for a player in the 7 to 11 year old range. This way the average family can still afford a quality main glove and secondary position glove such as 1B, catcher, or OF. I just found this channel, excited to see some more good content!

Great vid. Loved watching a 6 year old balling like that making all of those catches. Do you have any vids on how to develop a player that young? He’s got 8-10 yr old skills.

Best video

Hey Coach, thanks for the breaking in a glove video. Very helpful. I have a question for an 8 year old lefty. What's the appropriate size glove for an 8 year old? Because he's a lefty, he's probably limited to outfield, first base or pitcher. So....glove size suggestion? Thank you so much!!

Team the video how to break in a first base glove is up.

awesome video

Awesome channel & fantastic video. Loved the video on breaking in a catcher's mitt too. I also break in gloves for the kids on the team that I coach. I do it pretty much the same way....except for drying out in the car, which is a tremendous idea. I also finish with a little glove cream, just to keep the leather moist...especially after drying it out....so it doesn't start cracking, like any skin would. When do you use leather cream, if at all? I also use saddle soap to clean my gloves when they get very dirty. How about you? Thanks again for the great videos!

Great stuff but as a catcher bullpens is the way to go. I have an Allstar pro elite and have had 3 A2000’s as well as a Rawlings HOH 12 3/4 trapeze glove.

good tip for outfielders, if you are 12 or younger i recommend getting a 12.50 inch glove, if you are 13-17 look at 12.75 inches, and 18+ look at whatever is comfortable. if you have small hands, look at 12.50 inches, and if you havent committed fully to the outfield, get a 12.25 or 12.5 and shape the glove so you can use it in the infield whilst still having the deeper pocket of an outfield glove

Hey Great video, Can you do this with a first base mitt.. were in a glove crisis.. with High school tryouts starting March 1st... Thanks..Keep Grinding!

This was a classic

Would this process work with the Rawlings Gold Glove Series. Very expensive glove but been playing catch for a month and this glove still has its shape as if I just took it out the box.

Hi there. How did you wet the glove? Just water, inside and out? How wet? Thanks love the video. Love your facility!

Hey man thanks for the great video. Does he have any tips or videos for an infielders glove?

You look like you really know your trade. Been trying to break in a glove of mine for a couple weeks and was scared to use any oil or drive on it. Would love to hear what you would do for an infield glove. Would you still want that deep of a pocket and the same thumb to pinky style close? Great video man

I do it for an outfield glove and amazing ! But for infield glove i think it made too deep this way. Maybe ok for third base but for mid-infield you need quick transfer

"Dry as a whistle" 😂

He’s the real deal

Thank you for sharing! I'm buying gloves for my 6 and 9 yr old. My question is should I not buy them a youth glove? I see the glove here looks rather big and the kids still are able to do good handling them.

What is the recommendation on infield glove setup/breaking in?

Hello Coach. Did you drop that vid for an infielders glove? I just got a new heart of the hide 11.5. I’d love your advice. My name is Wilson. I’m Jennifer’s husband (one of Nanny’s friends). Thanks for the link for the cleats. Keep up the great work brother. Your videos have sincerely been an inspiration for my son and I. Take care. God bless you and your wonderful and growing family.

What Rawlings model glove is that? I was not able to understand when you said at 1:50 in. Thanks.

Can you do a breakdown with a 44 pro glove?

My baseball glove is black with the web being red. If I were to use the hot water method, would it make the red dye run off? Would mean a lot if you could answer this.

GREAT stuff!

Can you use a hot blow dryer to dry the glove?

How about any glove oil? Great video, thanks guys!

I prefer to do it the old fashion way oil it up set under my bed for a night. When I get up in the morning I go outside and get my pitching machine and stand out there while they get thrown to me all morning.

Can you do this method with a Rawlings R9 outfielders globe?

Faze up!!

You need a mallet like object you can’t use a ball. We will give more options

I have a question. For the malet. 7:10 can we use a ball or our fist?

Can I do this exact method to my Wilson A2000?

I'm 55 and learned this when I was 12. Nothing new here, thanks. Btw gloves now are made to broken in alot quicker with the types of leathers used today. Broke in that same glove, made it game ready in half an hour for my brother. Nice video for those who those who haven't a clue though.

I do this same thing without water. It takes longer but I prefer my glove not getting wet.

Do you know if I can use these tactics with a Wilson glove or is it different

Would this work with an A2000 as well?

My son 4 year old son is starting t ball this year, what size glove should I start him in?

Will this work for the a2000

This method is safe for 44pro gloves?

Great fuckin video gonna do this with my kids glove. Subscribed

could i use this same process with a wilson a2000?

i dont like to use water with my gloves, and only use a ball and weight. it takes ages to do so, especially to get a deep pocket, but it works if you dont want to use water, or own a mallet

I Wouldn't Flip My A1000 Or Rawlings Heart Of The Hide Glove Inside Out

What size glove is he using. I have a 7 year old little guy. Very tiny hands. He’s using a 10”

Amazing advice, guys. My son is 6 and plays 1B, but he's not a fan of the 1B mitt. I'm going to check out some outfielder's gloves to see how he likes them. I live in Broward. How would I go about getting in touch with Nick to see if he can help me with a glove break-in? Great content!

What can I use if I don’t have a mallet?

Hi coach my son is 7 and play coach pitch what is a good size glove ?

Can I do this with a feux leather leather

you should do one of these for catchers
