lefty

Pros: i had this glove when i was little. about 8 yrs old. im now a senior in high school and ive been trying to break all of my gloves in just like i did this one. im a pitcher and i like a floppier glove, but the lacing finally started to wear out too much right before i got to high school. i got it to form a deep pocket even though i broke it in thumb to middle finger. and the velcro closure makes sure that your wrist will fit no matter how big or small. very durable and soft, but i recommend liberal amounts of nokona glove oil before you start using it.

Cons: none. especially at $50

What glove is the closest to the Mizuno Prospect Series GPP1150? Also, what kind of glove oil do you send if I select that? I really like the Franklin glove oil with Mink oil in it --- it's really light. Tom
In my opinion, the Rawlings Renegade R115 will be a very close comparison. The Louisville Slugger Helix HXY1152 will also be similar.

My son has had this glove or very similar to it since he was 8 yrs. old . He is now 14, and getting readyto play Freshman ball. The glove is finally wearing and getting floppy so we are looking at new gloves. We are struggling with the fact of staying with an 11.5 inch glove, the same size he was using six years ago. He plays middle infield and pitcher, and has an average to smaller hand. Is an 11.5 to 11.75 the size we should be considering? Ross
For 14 year old who pitches and plays infield, a 11.75 inch glove is the most common size recommendation. He would still be absolutely okay with a 11.5 inch, but I wouldn't go any larger than 11.75 or 12 inches.

my son will playing as a 9 year old next baseball season and his glove was stolen. He is 4'3" and is small weighing 55 lbs. I was looking at Mizuno GPL1153 and Mizuno GFN1176. Andre' had the GPL1153 and was a very good glove but it took a while for him to fully break it in. We will throw/catch during winter to break in. What would recommend? He plays 1st/outfielder/pitcher. he is a lefty also lucas
For a 9 year old, I wouldn't recommend a glove larger than 11.5". That being said, I would recommend the Mizuno GPL1153 as I feel it would be a better fit for your son.
