Mizuno Prime Elite X FBM 12.5 GPEX-30

Give your infielders a bigger target with the Mizuno Prime Elite X GPEX-30, a 12.5-inch first base mitt built to swallow throws from every arm angle. The Prime Elite X series pairs a traditional full-grain leather build with modern, player-driven customization. A moisture-wicking pad across the back of the wrist keeps your glove hand dry through hot doubleheaders, while a dimple-grip palm liner with debossed texture under the middle and ring fingers delivers a more connected feel for the ball. A leather pull tab lets players adjust the fit on the fly between innings — and clips the glove to a bag or fence when practice ends — and the interchangeable wrist patch system lets athletes personalize the look on the back of the glove.

Key features & specs:

• 12.5-inch baseball first base mitt — wide, forgiving target for picks and scoops

Coach's tip: First basemen should work the mitt flat and wide — practice short-hop scoops daily so the break-in matches the throws you actually receive. Care: Wipe down after play, condition the leather sparingly a few times per season, store with a ball in the pocket, and keep it away from direct heat or a wet equipment bag.
