Mizuno Prospect 31.5" Youth Baseball Catcher's Mitt: GXC112
Mizuno is known for making it their priority to develop ball gloves for every age and skill level. The Prospect Series is tailor made to fit a young ball player's hand.
Glove Benefits
Multiple technologies make it easier for younger players to close the glove, catch the ball and learn to love the game. These gloves help youth players catch the "right" way, in the pocket. Mizuno's patented PowerClose technology places "hinges" where players would close the glove to make squeezing the ball and making the catch as simple as can be! Inside the glove, a ParaShock Palm Pad reduces all shock caused by impact and leaves the player's hand sting-free! This mitt also utilizes a conventional open back with a narrower wrist opening to create a snug, comfortable and custom feeling fit for every player. This 31.50 Inch catcher's mitt is a full-sized youth pattern and features a two-piece closed web to make snagging any kind of pitch as simple as possible. Mizuno: Be Yourself, Only Better!

Great Glove! Deneiges Murro parent
Pros: it came out of the box more broken in and then any other glove we've bought. any gloves is going to need to be broken in but this one is by far the easiest to break in. My son is eight, has had no problems with it and he absolutely loves it. I am actually surprised it was as inexpensive as it was. I will definitely try their products in the future .
Cons: Nothing as of yet
very pleased dad clint parent
Pros: purchased this glove with hopes of my 6 year old being able to use it, and as i was reading other reviews all i had seen was ages from 8 and up and i didnt think it would be small enough for his hand, with that being said, this glove is the best, he took it right out of the box and was using it like he has had it for years, very pleased with it, had to make a few adjustments to the pocket, but thats no big problem!
Cons: no cons:

My son is a catcher in Little League majors. He is on the smaller side of his age. He is 11 going on 12 in June. I am not sure what size his glove is now; he has used it since AAA for over 2 years. It seems a little small and sometimes the ball is popping out of his glove. What size and brand do you recommend and also which break in faster? dpc
I'm looking for a catchers mitt for my 7 year old son . Which one would you recommend? Frank H.
My son turned ten in the late winter and he plays AAA this year. This is his first year catching. He loves it and does really well with it. He has been using a first baseman’s glove. I want to purchase him a catcher's mitt with more padding but allows him to close his mitt. He has tried a catcher's mitt and he couldn’t close it and was frustrated. What would you recommend? I am willing to go up in price. He really seems to enjoy catching and I want him to have a really fun experience. Pam Marquis
I'm seeing this glove recommended to a lot of people with very young (6-9) age kids, so wondering if it's too small for an 11-year old. I was seeing that it was recommended to stay under a 32" if you were under 12, but if this fits someone nearly half his age, is it too small? Mark
