I Found The Best Baseball Gloves Under $100 

You are so right 😮

Same

That’s so good to hear!

whats your age?

I have an old Louisville Slugger Glove in a Heart Of The Glove series at 11.5 inches due to small hand size, more to the Rawlins Sure Catch style, the gray and black closed web design that was $30 at the time and now having used a Rawlins Sure Catch in almost the same design with a closed web only a size too small at 10.5 inches I can say the gloves feel almost the same with the same Genuine Pressed Leather glove only in the new Rawlins glove, the glove needs to be broken in as the glove does not have a built in padding/duel leather air padding system the Lewisville Slugger gloves had but instead uses several thicker leather/fake leather under layers in the palm as the padding. The one I borrowed was from a Cousins kid who plays and his glove felt good, only I had issues with the sizing is all being the counsins son, his old glove was too small for me just barely fitting. Cousins kid wanted practice with catching and breaking in a used glove got off e-Bay to fit his hands better not the previous owner so I was throwing the ball using his old glove, with me as about the only person who could even use the glove properly. Cousins Kid likes used gloves as they tend to be pre broken in for most of them unless really cheap gloves that will not break in due to the type of synthetic used like a vinyl, also he was using a better glove from Rawlins only used for $45 in an all brown Player Preferred Series in a 12 inch to 12.5 inch size for his hands of almost same web design as the Rawlins Sure Catch he had previous that is now $40 and for about the same quality to the old Louisville Slugger the pricing going up due to inflation is understandable. If I were to need a new glove I would try the Sure Catch if I could not find a Great shape of the Old Louisville Slugger Glove in a Heart Of The Glove series type glove off e-Bay for a reasonable price.

Was a considerable upgrade from anything I ever had as a kid. I can't imagine needing more "luxury" than is in my Sandlot.

get a REAL glove goodness those are garbage

@@AK907g_money Why?

@@AK907g_money Literally mentions being a dad and throwing with his son, no need for a high level glove for that purpose. I just picked one of these up for LHT, while I have several high end gloves for RHT(RICO custom, 44 Pro, and a Nokona) and this is fine for the purpose he mentioned.

That’s what I like to hear!!

That’s awesome to hear, thanks for watching!!

@@ballgloveking Do you have a video on breaking in a Rawlings Pro Preferred? Seems to me that the thinner leather is prone to bubbles or creasing.

Dude that was the best decision you’ve ever made!

Yessirrr

i think the sandlot glove will age better and last longer than the marucci he chose.

And u field ground balls like ur grandmother

Is that meant as an insult?

@@primogemant548no he doesn’t get the ball between his legs he is almost late to it I play outfield and this is usually how it happens

I think it’s because the guy who’s batting it to him is a bit close so there for he doesn’t have that much time to react 🤷‍♂️

I’m currently using a Rawlings sandlot and I honestly love it, perfect cheap glove if you’re in a pinch and need a glove fast

I love that guy! I’ve thought similarly, maybe we need to implement it!

Can confirm. My daughter used the previous version of this glove for softball and pulled out some of the interiors and it was indeed cotton candy. I had to buy her a new glove of course, but it was a tasty lesson to learn.

Very good input!!

Thank you 🙏

I think the A1000 is slept on a little for younger guys who need a softer leather. But I don’t think your statement is too far off

Lolol I’m sorry

Mine is too

My son uses a 25 dollar franklin and doesn’t split hairs about it. He just loves baseball.

Me too, thanks my man 🙏

I’ve had the 12” a1000 black and red ($150) for over a year now. Excellent feel and has held its shape. I use it mainly for slow pitch sb and outfield hardball. It’s definitely not a2000 quality or stiffness but way better than the budget gloves I chose from. My nephew has an a2000 1786 ($219) that felt great but the hand stall was tiny. I went with a Rawlings HOH r2g 11.5 ($300 but I got it second hand from a young coworker for $120 and it was broken in 2 hinge with 2 in the pink the way I would have) for infield hardball and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Heck yeah bro thats awesome to hear. Good choice for a few games!

Those guys rock!

It did 🤷‍♂️

I’ve heard some good things about it so maybe it’ll make it to a part 2

It's alright for what it is in my experience. Very plush. Essy to break in. Super easy to squeeze. I borrowed my daughter's Marucci (same glove but different year) when I hurt my elbow and couldn't squeeze a glove without pain. It definitely does the job.

Dang that’s so wild 😬

That’s CHEAP

It was gifted to me by the We Got Ice guys, I believe it’s from JomBoy Media so maybe they still sell them 🤷‍♂️

It was only 120 on amazon too.

That’s awesome!

I’ve seen a couple in person and I don’t think I would have anything good to say about them… but maybe I should make a video to keep everyone informed

Have a brand new 12” H web I’d be willing to send you if that would help. Totally impartial to the brand so rip it to shreds if need be lol. Just know the low budget videos have been popular lately. HMU if interested.

Good point on laces. It’s not as much of an issue at the kid level but I’ve seen that play out poorly at the adult league level when guys go cheap.

@deepzone31 . Shit gloves rely on laces so much. Give a kid a shit glove and tighten the laces at it will feel like a major league level glove. Thats why Wilson has caught a lot of shit recently, even on their pro gloves the laces are worse than Rawlings' budget gloves

@@baileysmith4744 I agree somewhat. The tighter laces is a different issue than weaker laces. There are definitely loosely laced gloves at the kid level that affect play. There are also other issues like kids not keeping a ball inside to maintain pocket that also hurt kids' performance. The 44 issue was the laces rupturing on a fairly new glove. I suspect the issue may be exclusive to the dyed laces but it requires more data to be sure. I'd like to hear more on the Wilson gloves. I wasn't aware of this. I had a 1799 A2000 that I used for outfield for probably 12 years that never had any issues with laces. I only had to tighten them up a couple of times. The endgame for that glove was the thumb stay and palm deteriorating. The laces outlasted the interior construction. :)

@deepzone31. Gonna make the point quick. Rawlings laces are elite even on cheap gloves, and they last a long time unlike other brands even on their high end gloves. When Rawlings cheap leather gets soft, tightening the laces gives the glove an amazing shape that will last and makes the glove feel better than it did when first bought. There really isnt much else to say about it

I hope to do some of that next year on a separate channel… I know that’s in a while sorry! But for now just know that most Slowpitch gloves are kind of a scam and you should buy something like the Wilson 1799 (12.75”) instead

@@ballgloveking currently play with Rawlings RBG36B 12 1/2" Sammy Sosa Black Leather Baseball Glove from when i played in high school. I have had it re-laced but wanted to know if there is something better out there for when this one finally dies.

That’s a good idea… maybe it’s in the works

Lol thank you my man
