Description

Akadema is the most exciting baseball and softball company in the world. Akadema's ownership attributes an increasing market share to their innovative quality professional product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design that raise the level of play. Born to satisfy the needs of the competitive fastpitch player, the Akadema FastPitch Design Series is handcrafted to increase your level of performance on the field. Constructed of U.S. Steer hide throughout the pocket and webbing, the back of the glove features exclusive AkademaLyte leather, decreasing the overall weight of the glove and allowing for a faster break-in period and a more manageable feel. Smaller finger stalls used to decrease the distance between the thumb and index finger and Akadema Grasp Clasp Wrist System allow for increased playability. Free Shipping.

Pros: Nice leather, the pop sound is twice as loud as any mitt. Secure finger wholes and adjustments. Has the thumb protection wedge ( seems slightly off center for protection but the thought was there ).

Cons: Manufactor recommend this mitt for my 9U daughter. Simply put this mitt is too heavy and large to move fast for younger players. ( She plays up on the 11U and is not a pixie)

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Akadema Fastpitch Series: AEA65 Catcher's Mitt? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

My daughter pitches and I would like to get a glove that fits me. What size should I get. Tom
I would recommend a 13 inch baseball firstbase mitt. My father coached both my sister who pitched in High School and briefly in College. He always used a large firstbase mitt or a large baseball fielders glove. The AEA65 is a fastpitch catchers mitt designed with smaller finger stalls and a more narrow wrist opening to accomodate the smaller hand of a female. If you have average or above average size hands for an adult male, you'll probably find most fastpitch mitts pretty uncomfortable. However, if you do go with a fastpitch softball mitt, I wouldn't go any smaller than 34 inches.

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.

Their advisors don’t talk about marketing or places to sell the gloves, they just care about performance.
