Pros: True pro pattern for the little one. My son wears XS kids sized batting glove, his fingers seem just long enough for this glove. The glove is quite light, because it's built with lighter weight leather, yet surprisingly, the glove has not developed the flimsiness you come to expect from typical youth gloves, probably because this is not an "entry" level youth glove. It is listed as a 11 inch glove, but a typical 11.25 adult glove will swallow this glove. Makes me wonder how small was Joe Morgan's glove... I would pick this glove over the highly rated Vinci Jr gloves anyday.
Cons: Shallow pocket, possibly not for the true novice. Low quality laces. Relace with high quality laces could transform this glove to the next level!

Pros: I ordered this glove and the akadema Prodigy Series: AZR95-12 my son chose the Akadema. Both gloves are of almost equal quality. I did like this glove enough to sell it to a friend vs sending it back. nice thick leather, deep pocket, stiff thumb and pinky and fits a kids hand nicely.
Cons: none

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
