Softball Gloves

A gamer needs a real pocket, and this Mizuno Ball Glove Pounding Pad is the tool that builds one. Shaped to mimic the impact of a baseball landing in the glove, the pad lets players and coaches pound out a deep, defined pocket during break-in and re-shape a glove that has flattened out over a long season. It's a staple of a proper break-in routine, faster and more controlled than simply playing catch, and far easier on the hands than pounding with a bare ball. The result is a consistent, game-ready pocket in less time.

Key features & specs:

• Purpose-built pad for forming and maintaining the glove pocket
• Mimics ball impact to shape a deep, consistent pocket
• Speeds professional-style break-in on new baseball and softball gloves
• Re-shapes gloves that have lost their pocket over time
• Comfortable to grip for repeated, targeted pounding
• Mizuno Style #370128

Coach's tip: condition the glove first, then work the pad into the pocket while the leather is soft and pliable for the best shape. Wipe the pad clean and store it dry between uses.

The Valle Eagle Series Switch Ambidextrous Pancake Glove is a one-of-a-kind infield training tool finished in Valle's signature all-white leather. It's the first-ever universal-fit flat pancake glove — a single mitt that a left-handed or right-handed thrower can both use, making it perfect for shared team drills and infield stations. The flat, pocketless design forces players to field the ball out front and secure it with two hands rather than trapping it, building the quick, soft hands and clean footwork that turn routine grounders and double plays into outs. It's a great development piece for players of every age, from youth up through the pro level.

Key features & specs

• Ambidextrous universal fit — works for both left- and right-handed throwers
• Flat pancake design reinforces two-handed fielding and quick transfers
• Quality leather construction in Valle's trademark all-white finish
• Ideal for grounders, backhands and double-play turn work
• Great for baseball and softball infielders at every age and level

Coach's tip: Run rapid-fire short-hop reps with the Switch to force soft hands, then move players back to their gamer to feel the difference. Care: Wipe clean after use and store flat in a cool, dry place.

The Valle Eagle 27S Catcher's Training Mitt is the receiving trainer that pros keep coming back to. Finished in Valle's signature all-white leather, the Eagle 27S is built from quality USA Steerhide with major-league-grade USA-tanned lacing, added padding, and the exact shape catchers have been asking for. Its deliberately small pocket forces clean, disciplined receiving mechanics — every ball has to be caught the right way, which builds the soft hands, quick transfers and focus that separate good receivers from great ones. It's a warm-up and daily-drill workhorse for catchers from the high school level all the way to the pros.

Key features & specs

• Quality USA Steerhide leather in Valle's trademark all-white finish
• Major-league-quality USA-tanned lacing and added padding
• Velcro adjustable wristback for a quick, dialed-in fit

The Valle Eagle 27SWT Weighted Catcher's Training Mitt is built for catchers who want game-ready weight in a training glove. Finished in Valle's signature all-white leather, the Eagle 27SWT takes the brand's best-selling Eagle 27 receiving trainer and adds built-in weight, bringing it up to — and sometimes past — the heft of a full-size game mitt. That added load builds the forearm, wrist and grip strength catchers need to frame, receive and transfer with authority deep into a long season. MLB catching coaches and college programs asked Valle to build this weighted version, and it delivers the same small, disciplined pocket that made the original a warm-up and drill favorite.

Key features & specs

• Premium USA Kip leather in Valle's trademark all-white finish
• Built-in weight brings it to game-mitt weight or heavier for strength training
• Open wristback design for a comfortable, adjustable fit
• Small training pocket promotes clean receiving and quick transfers

Breaking in a new glove the right way starts with shaping the pocket, and this Mizuno Ball Glove Shaping Mallet gives coaches and players a purpose-built tool for the job. The solid wood mallet lets you pound a deep, consistent pocket exactly where you want it, driving the leather into shape far faster and more precisely than working it by hand. Weighted for control and built to take repeated impact, it delivers targeted blows to the palm and web so a stiff, off-the-shelf glove starts to close and feel game-ready in a fraction of the time.

Key features & specs:

• Solid wood construction built for repeated pocket-forming impact
• Rounded head shapes and deepens the pocket where a ball naturally lands
• Speeds up break-in on new baseball and softball gloves
• Fits comfortably in the hand for controlled, targeted pounding
• Mizuno Style #370394

Coach's tip: pair it with glove oil or conditioner. Work the leather soft first, then mallet the pocket for the fastest, cleanest break-in. Store the mallet in a dry place to keep the wood from splitting.

A broken or frayed lace shouldn't sideline a favorite glove. This Mizuno Ball Glove Lace gives coaches and players a durable, ready-to-thread replacement for re-lacing worn webs, heels, and finger stalls, restoring a glove to full playing shape instead of retiring it. Cut to 5.5mm wide and 160cm long, it delivers enough length to handle most re-lacing and repair jobs on baseball and softball gloves, from youth models to full-size adult patterns. The rugged leather construction matches the feel and strength of Mizuno's factory lacing, so repairs hold up to the pounding of everyday practice and game reps.

Key features & specs:

• Genuine leather replacement glove lace for baseball and softball mitts
• Dimensions: 5.5mm wide x 160cm long, enough for most web, heel, and lace-through repairs
• Restores worn or snapped laces to extend glove life

The Mizuno Glove Wrap G2 is a simple, effective tool for breaking in and shaping a new glove the right way. Wrapped around a glove with a ball set in the pocket, the elastic band holds the fold and forms a clean, consistent pocket while the leather relaxes into shape. Using a wrap during break-in helps players avoid a floppy or misshapen pocket and speeds the glove toward game-ready feel.
