disgusted

Pros: Cost

Cons: I am a former professional baseball player. Currently I am a pitching instructor. The gloves durability is poor. After approximately 20, (1/2 hour lessons), the gloves padding shifted, and failed to hold its shape. The price is inticing, however I would not recommend this glove for an advanced level catcher.

Pros: I understand the above review, but personally I like this glove. It really is a great value. Of course it's not going to be as solid and durable as high dollar gloves, but it's a steal for under $60. Got this for my younger brother, and he loved it!

Cons: Not as good as A2K or Pro Preferred, but waaaay cheaper.

Pros: Good pocket, comfortable finger stall, great price

Cons: Not much padding, poor "pop." As a high school catcher, this mitt didn't meet my needs. For travel ball it served me very well, but for faster, high school pitching, buy a higher quality mitt.

Pros: This mitt is very good for a younger intermediate player. Super easy break-in and not to heavy. For the price you can't beat it. Sure there's better mitts out there, but if your more advanced are you really looking at $70 mitts? Players looking for more should expect to pay more.

Cons: Wrist padding gets wore out easy and no place to put a wrist band.

Pros: so far its been a good glove and not many problems thick padding for the little league player ball easy break in time

Cons: the fast back doesn't really work that conventional is better back you can live with it and the index finger hood is really tight and thick minus well put your finger over it for extra padding

Pros: Bought this for my 10 year old son last year because he was having problems breaking in his A2000-2092. I have to say that the ball sticks unlike any glove he has used. Also, he was catching 50 mph fast balls in AAU no complaints of sting. I thought it might be too big but this glove developed such a deep pocket that it seemed like a 32.5" for him.

Cons: It becomes floppy, but amazingly retains a nice pocket. It can always be replaced for little money and break in time.

Dad

Pros: Son is 59" 90 lbs. 9 years old. Bought this glove last year when his 31" Rawlings just wasn't cutting it. Durable glove, balls sticks to pocket. He won't even try another style glove now just loves the weight and feel. If you have a child this size this glove will work nicely.

Cons: None. Held up for full spring and fall season winter workouts and tryouts this year.

Pros: Cost,I used this glove for three seasons, and I started my first year of catching as a 13 yr old. I made varsity my freshman year, and am finally getting a new mitt. It's cheap, forms very well, and holds well

Pros: As my sons coach,he is 10 yrs old,I was looking for a glove that would provide a deep pocket and be easy for him to break in. He has been a catcher since the age of 6 and this is the only glove he has ever truly loved. The glove has given him unprecedented confidence! He cant wait for the spring season. Dad is stoked too!

Cons: None for a kid playing in the majors.

Pros: Cheap price, breaks in fast

Cons: I wouldn't want to catch 85+ MPH fast balls in this. Even when just playing catch in the yard if you catch a ball around your thumb you will feel it. I feel like a hard fast ball would break a thumb. If your catching fast balls be sure to catch it in the pocket or your gonna feel it.

Best catchers mitt around #7 player

Pros: This glove is amazing. ive used the top of the line high quality catchers mitts (a2000 a2k hoh pro pref) and i would rather be using this mizuno. its a great glove for the price and breaks in quick. alot of people complain about the padding, but i have a friend who used this glove on varsity this year and caught a 92 mph pitcher with no problem at all, its just all about where you catch it. i have no problem catching my pitchers either who range from 60-80. also, people complain about how the glove does not keep its shape. now, this is partially true, yes the glove does eventually get floppy and sit on its side, but it holds an amazing pocket, far better than any pocket ive ever seen on a catchers mitt. in fact, i liked this glove better floppy than stiff, and im a guy who loves stiff gloves. i would recommend this glove to anyone you cant beat it for the price.

Cons: one lace snapped in the web, but it was an extremely thin lace so that was to be expected, and the specific lace that snapped doesnt harm the glove at all

Had glove for 3 years now. That One Underrated catcher. player

Pros: Comes broken in after just some tossing. Great for price. Keeps shape of glove for about a year and half.

Cons: Used this glove for about 3 years and got floppy and over used after the first season. Do not get this glove if you are a advanced catcher age 14+

Is this a baseball mitt or a fastpitch mitt? billeggen

This is a baseball catcher's mitt.

Mark

how long does it take to ship ryan

As long as the order is placed before 8 PM central, it will go out same day. We ship the same day that the order is placed.

Brett

Is this mitt recommended for youth 11-12 yr old recreational and allstar level. rgltr334

I would not recommend this glove for a 12 year old. I think that it would be to big. I would go with a 32.00-32.50 inch glove for a 12 year old.

Brett

does this glove come in any other sizes? austen

This is the only size catchers mitt produced in Mizuno's Franchise Excel Series.

Brett

I'm coaching an 11-12 travel team and am looking for a catchers mitt to warm up pitchers and also as a backup glove for the catchers. My two catchers have their own gloves, but there are 2 other boys who want to catch. Looking at the Mizuno Franchise, Wilson A800, and the All Star Pro CM3200SBT. Any one stand out above the others? Coach G

I would suggest a 32 or 32.5 inch mitt (at the biggest). All Star stands out for me just because they specialize in catcher's gear. Wilson catcher's mitts are known for being very comfortable, and the Mizuno is very popular and has a good balance of comfort and performance.

Tyler

I have a 14 year old left handed throw boy that I am looking for a low cost catchers mitt. I want him to use it to catch/warm up pitchers, not really use it to catch games. lightning

We have a few different options for your son. Here is a link to all of our left hand thrower catchers mitts under $100. Unless youth is indicated in the title of the glove then it will be an adult model that will fit your sons hand. http://www.justballgloves.com/products/glove%20type~baseball/sub%20type~catchers/thrower~left/price~$0%20-%20$99.99/

Tom

is this just a warmup glove or can you use it in games? kenny

The Mizuno Franchise Excel Series: GXC93 Catchers Mitt is designed to be used in games.

Tyler

Is it good for a 11 year old? ken

At 33.5", the Mizuno Franchise Excel Series: GXC93 Catchers Mitt is too big for an 11 year old. A better size for an 11 or 12 year old is 32" or 32.5".

Tyler

Some of the previous reviews had stated that there sons (ages 9-12) loved the glove and was a great fit. My son is 11.5 and bigger for his age (5'4",120lb). I got him the Power Close 32.5", it looks small. Should I consider getting the GXC93? Don

Much of picking out a catcher's mitt comes down to the preference of the player. The Mizuno Franchise Excel Series: GXC93 Catchers Mitt is a popular model for players around 10-13 years old. If your son is big for his age, and you feel a 32.5" mitt is a bit too small, the GSC93 would be an excellent choice.

Tyler

Is this a good glove for a 14 year old with big hands? Riley

Being that your son is 14 we suggest a 32 inch glove. The Mizuno Franchise Excel Series: GXC93 Catchers Mitt is 33.5 inches in size. So it is a bigger glove than most kids his age would use. You might want to go with a 33 inch just to be sure. We offer a 100 day guarantee. So if it happens to not fit you can exchange it for something else.

Chad M.

How are catcher's mitts sized? tb

The Mizuno Franchise Excel Series: GXC93 Catchers Mitt features a 33.50" pattern size. Catcher's mitt pattern measurements reflect the circumference of the pocket of the mitt.

Mac

A lot of the reviews seem to be from pre-teens, but isn't this an adult or at least older teen glove? Is this an appropriate choice for a young HS player? What other mitts are comparable? RSMBob

The Mizuno Franchise Excel Series: GXC93 Catchers Mitt is intended for players in high school and beyond, at 33.50". We'd typically recommend between a 33.00" and 33.50" model for players 14-17 years old, so this would be a great choice. The Rawlings Player Preferred Series: RCM30C Catcher's Mitt will feature a comparable Retro Tanned full grain leather for an easy break-in. Please feel free to contact our glove experts if you'd like further suggestions.
