Description

Akadema continues its tradition of glove excellence with the new Platinum Series. They have combined a new mesh back with a Kip Leather pocket and web to produce lightweight and durable gloves on the market. The new mesh back also gives this glove a style like no other on the market. The mesh back also allows for a much quicker break-in period. These gloves have been designed and engineered with the help of professional baseball players, resulting in a glove that meets the needs of the most demanding ball players. Akadema also continued to use their position specific patented technology in these gloves, meaning that this glove is built specifically for the position you play. These unique features allow for more comfort, easier closing and increased pocket size. The Platinum Series gloves are made from top U.S. Steerhide with 1/4" rawhide lacing. The ABJ109 features a B-Hive Web and open back. Free Shipping!

do they have any with a pichers pocket? dice k
Closed web glove are usually preferred by pitchers, and this glove does have a closed web.

would this glove be to big for an 11 year old- my son spends most of his time behind the plate but also plays short second and pitches- he is a very aggressive in the dirt type player will this glove suit? skip
This would actually be a good size utility glove for an 11 year old. He shouldn't have a problem using it right now, but I probably wouldn't go any larger than 11.5 inches. This should be a glove he can use for the next few seasons.

Does it come in 12.00" or 12.50"? Jack
Yes, I would look at the Akadema Platinum Series: ADU135. It is a 12.00" model.

About the Brand

In Akadema's short but remarkable history it has become one of America's hottest baseball and softball equipment company for professional, college, high school, and serious youth players. The Akadema phenomenon started with the Professional Glove Series and continues with the Reptilian®, Praying Mantis®, Pro Soft™ and Prodigy™ Glove Series as well as the Amish Wood™, Tacktion™ and Xtension® Aluminum Bat Series. Akadema's ownership attributes increasing market share to their innovative professional baseball and softball product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design to raise the level of play.

Akadema's products are manufactured for professional players but are now accessible to semi pro, college, high school, and serious youth players. Akadema products are still designed with the professional player in mind but competitively priced for the professional player at heart. So it's your turn to think like a professional, play like a professional, and use Akadema Professional!

Akadema now has both baseball and fastpitch softball advisory staffs that they work with closely to implement new ideas. Members of the baseball advisory staff include Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Gary Carter as well as Howard Johnson, Reggie Smith, Luis Polonia, Sandy Martinez and many others. Fastpitch stars that are on the advisory staff include Crystl Bustos and Julie Smith. The input on performance from the advisory staff gives Akadema something they cannot put a price on. Their advisors don’t talk about marketing or places to sell the gloves, they just care about performance.
