Hi, I am interested to know about your first baseman glove GXF26 Left hand. This glove would be for my son he is 9 years of age. Do you think he is to small or too young for this glove? He is a first baseman. What other first baseman glove do you recommend for a 9 year old? Thank you. Regitnam
Honestly, a 12 inch firstbase mitt will be recommended for a 9 or 10 year old. A 12.5 inch firstbase mitt would probably be better suited for a 13 year old. A few others to look at would be the Wilson A2000 series, Akadema Precision series, or Worth Liberty Advanced series.

My son is a 10 yr old big (5'7", 126 lbs) is 12.5" the correct size for him to play 1st base? Flip
Yes, for his size a 12 to 12.5 would be the norm. The 12.5 will give him time to grow.

Is a 13 inch glove too big for a 14 year old beginning High School? About 5ft 7in. heb
Yes. A 13 inch glove would be too big for a 14 year old. It's rare for Major League outfielders to use a glove that's 13 inches or longer. In the MLB the average size outfielders glove is 12.5 to 12.75 inches. In High School, the average size outfielders glove would be between 12 and 12.75 inches. If he plays multiple positions, I would look at a glove around 11.75 or 12 inches.

What is the best way to break this glove in. On the glove one of the tags said pre-oiled game ready but it's not even close to game ready? Sim
A great technique is to apply a small amount of oil to the entire surface of the glove with a cloth or sponge. Then place a baseball or two in the pocket of the glove and wrap it with some large rubberbands. Let the glove sit overnight. The next day, take it out and start working with it by playing catch, throwing a ball into the pocket, or hitting the pocket with a wooden mallet. Whenever it is not in use, be sure to wrap it back up. Repetition is key and be sure no to apply too much oil. Most high school and collegiate level players don't apply oil to their glove more than once or twice during the season.
JH
O.K. I read the question abouting breaking in the glove so I have bought the brek in kit but the oil in it is Rawling. Even if this glove is a Mizuno will it hurt my glove??? Sim
It will not hurt the glove. Glove oils are all basically the same, only small little differences. The Mizuno and Rawlings glove oils are very similar. This will not hinder the glove in any way.
Brett
Is this glove recommended for fastpitch softball? Pat
The GXF26 is a baseball mitt, but it does have a somewhat deeper pocket and may be ok in certain situations for fastpitch play.
Mark
Hi, I currently have a rawlings Heart of the hide first basemens mitt, its 12.75 inches, great glove, but its just not for me, I'm interested on this mizuno classic pro soft, the pro limited 12.50 in., and the global elite one 13 in. I'm 6,1 about 190lbs, what size would be best? And what glove do you recommend? bulldogs4life
I would recommend the 13.00" Global Elite Series for your size.

This glove will fit you perfect. The 12.50 will not be too big and should be just right. This is a good choice.

Kris
will this glove get floppy and flimsy because i prefer a glove that durable and will maintain over the years? ben
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GXF26 First Base Mitt is a very high quality mitt. However, overtime, all gloves get floppy. No glove holds it's shape forever, but this mitt has above average durability.
Tyler
Where was this glove made? HarveyLa
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series is produced in China.
Tyler
Is the 12.50" model glove a good size for high school ball? boots27
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GXF26 First Base Mitt in a 12.50" is a good size for high school ball. I recommend either a 12.50" or a 12.75" for a high school first baseman.
Katie
Would this glove be okay for a 10 year old? Mike
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GXF26 First Base Mitt is slightly large for a 10 year old at 12.50". We recommend a 12.00" model, such as the Worth Liberty Advanced Series: LA1FBB First Base Mitt, which also features a soft, full grain leather.
Katie
Would this glove be OK for a 12 year old boy who is 4'11" and 119 lbs.? genie
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GXF26 First Base Mitt may be a little large at 12.50". You might want to consider a 12.00" mitt.
Kevin
Is this a stiff glove? joe
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GXF26 First Base Mitt is a soft, durable leather. It will not have a stiff feel.
Frank
Could this glove be used for fastpitch softball? Robert
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GXF26 First Base Mitt will work fine for fastpitch softball, but the pocket will be a little more shallow than a fastpitch glove would have.

I'm 6'0", weight 140 and am 14. Whats a good mitt size? bret
Based on your age and position, our Glove Coach recommends a 12.50" model. The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series (GXF26) features a 12.50" pattern, so this would be a great option for you.
Tessa L.
I am 5'8", weigh 190 lbs and am 15 years old. What size would I need for left hand first baseman mitt? bigcookie
The 12.50" pattern of the Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series (GXF26) would be a great fit for you.
Bobby
Does this glove run smaller compared to the other 12.5" models? It appears other Mizuno models run smaller then their competitors gloves marked at the same size? j
The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series (GXF26 First Base Mitt) should not run smaller compared to other models at the same size. It should run true to size.
Brandon
I am 4'5", weigh 75 lbs and I'm 10 years old. What size do I need? BallerSpar15
Based on your age and position, we suggest a 12" model. The Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series (GXF26) First Base Mitt is a 12.50" pattern and is probably a little too big for you. The Mizuno Prospect Series (GXF101) Youth First Base Mitt is a 12" pattern and would be a better fit.
Jason
My son is 12 years old and 114 pounds and about 5 foot 2 inches. I am trying to decide between this glove at 12.50 inches and the Wilson 12 inches A2000 for first base. Which do you think would suit him better? Strongman
Using our glove coach and your sons age it is recommending a 12.00 inch glove size. It looks like the Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series (GXF26 First Base Mitt) 12.50 inch. I have provided a link below with the youth 12.00 inch models.
