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.

Hand-crafted for a quick and easy break-in period, the Prodigy Design Series also uses the Akadema Grasp Clasp Wrist System, making the glove more manageable for today's youth ballplayer.

Pros: Very durable glove. This one had been through the wringer and taken everything without seams or ties releasing. (Just keep applying the glove conditioner to keep it soft.) The glove looks huge on the younger player's hand but once broken in correctly, the construction makes it easy to use even fo

Cons: Price. At this price this glove, like most of the Akadema Prodigy series, is really suited for SuperSeries or equivalent youth baseball where it will see frequent use at a high level of play. For Parks & Rec or even Little League, save your money and buy a less expensive glove and a new bat instea

Pros: Good looking, good performing glove. For the money very happy with the purchase.

Pros: What a great glove! Did 3 rounds of Hot Glove followed by Glovolium spray. It broke in relatively easy after that. My son is seven and had the glove for 3 weeks. Good size for his large frame.

Cons: Probably one of the more pricier gloves for this level. I'm happy with what we have for the cost...

Pros: Awesome service was followed up with an awesome glove. Great fit for my 7 year olds small hands. Very well made, will definitely buy an Akadema glove when he needs his next fielders glove.

Cons: Glove is stiff and taking longer than expected to break in.

Pros: Great looking glove and many sizes available. If you are looking for a left handed thrower youth 1st baseman's glove, this is not only a great glove, but also this is the place to find it. I went to 7 major sporting goods stores as well as many online stores and this was the only place I could find a youth 1st baseman glove for my son.

Cons: Knit-picking here but i wish it came in a more traditional natural leather color as well.

Pros: My son used this glove heavily for three seasons (ages 12 - 14) and still gets it out from time to time - and it is still in pretty good condition. The size proved to be perfect as he transitioned from a youth league player up to the big field.

Cons:

What is AkademaLyte leather? Is it synthetic or split steer hide? Tony
The AkademaLyte leather is a lighter weight cowhide used on the back of the glove. The webbing and pocket are made from steerhide.

im 13 and have pretty small hands im not that big would this glove be a good size for me shorty
A first base mitt between 12 and 12.5 inches is generally recommended for 13 year olds. However, if you smaller than average and are more comfortable with a slightly smaller mitt, then this would be a good option for you.

My lefty daughter (9 yo) plays 1st base fast pitch softball, her age gruop will be using an 11 inch ball. Would this be a good glove for her? Her current glove is a fielder's prouddad
This would actually be a pretty good option for her. It should fit her well and it has a large enough pocket to handle an 11 inch softball.

I have a lefty grandson who will be 9 in September..he plays a lot of 1st base and wants a 1st base mitt. Is in state finals and plays with a travel team in winter. Should I get him a 11.5 or 12 " so he can grow with it? Thanks! Gary
An 11.5 inch mitt may be a better fit for him now, but a 12 inch model may give him more room to grow into over the next several seasons. Usually, first base mitts aren't made smaller than 12 inches, so you'll probably have more options at 12 inches.

My 8 yr old daughter will be turning 9 in october. She is a left handed first basemen and pitcher. I would like to get her a first basemen mit since she is in fall, spring and tournament ball. Would this be a good fit for her first first basemen glove?? Lefty'sdad
Yes, the Prodigy is going to be a good option for a first first base glove, it is going to have smaller finger stalls for younger players and it is going to be a quick break in.
