Pros: Very sturdy glove, yet with quick break-in. It seems to break in to the right shape naturally (and many gloves don't. ) The pocket secures the ball very well and holds it shape for years. It's an excellent outfielder glove (although I know many OF's prefer the lace/trap web) and it's also great for a pitcher who likes a slightly larger glove.

Cons: A bit narrower than typical 13" glove. It's more for baseball than softball, although I have used it for both. It plays a bit smaller than 13".

Pros: Great feel. Easy break in (1-2 practices). Really high quality craftsmanship. Played for 2 years with it and it is still in new condition.

Cons: I would agree that it plays a little small compared to my other 13 in gloves (more like 12-12.5 in). But the pocket is plenty big.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Akadema Pro Soft Series: AMK226? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Is this too big for a 13 year old that plays outfield? Koller
Yes, the Akadema Pro Soft Series: AMK226 With FREE Akadema Sunglasses will be too big for a 13 year old. Normally at that age you do not want to go larger than a 12.50''.
Tori
I play both infield and outfield, is this glove's pocket too big to play infield and will I be able to get the ball out easily? Razacx
Yes, the Akadema Pro Soft Series (AMK226) will have too deep of a pocket for infield play. For baseball I would advise looking at something in a 11.75-12.00" model. For softball I would advise looking at something in the 12.00-12.25" model.
Sean
How strong is the leather of the glove? How many years of baseball will it last? Jonas
The leather on the Akadema Pro Soft Series (AMK226) is soft but durable. With proper care it should last for quite a while. There is no real way to estimate how many years it will last given the countless ways it can be used and taken care of.
Patrick
I have somewhat large hands. Will I be able to get my hand in the glove easily? Have A Good Day
The Akadema Pro Soft Series (AMK226) will have an average fit for an adult glove. It should fit most adult size hands.
Patrick
How do you tighten the glove around the hand on this particular glove? Is there velcro? Dean
The Akadema Pro Soft Series: AMK226 features two different wrist opening sizes. To tighten, you would basically un-lace and re-lace the leather wrist strap through the pre-manufactured holes located in the wrist strap.
Logan
I am on the fence for this one or Aln225. I play both 2nd base and outfield. Dave
Both the Akadema Pro Soft Series: AMK226 and the Akadema Pro Soft Series: ALN225 are better suited for outfielders. If you wanted one of these gloves, I would go with the ALN225 due to its smaller size for quick ball transfers for infield play.
