Glove Assurance will give you a 100 day trial. You will be able to return the glove for a refund if you find it is not the glove for you within those 100 days.

My son is 13 (7th Grade) years old and has been catching for the past 4 years. He has used a generic Rawlings catchers glove but complains the pitching speeds are starting to hurt his hand. I want to move up in a glove, what recommendation do you have for a glove that would last him through H.S.? Current pitchers are in the 60-70 MPH. Your recommendation would be appreciated. Jim Jim
A 33 or 33.5 inch mitt are the most common sizes recommended for High School age players, although many will use a mitt a half inch smaller or larger (really comes down to personal preference). All Star is a great place to start looking. They specilize in catcher's gear and make excellent mitts with good padding. I also really like the catcher's mitt Akadema produces. They'll have good padding and will perform great as well.
Brett
Had this glove but the lace broke. What would be a good glove to replace it? Catching pitches 70+ mph? catching kid 20
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catchers Mitt is a very good glove that could replace the one that you had. This catchers mitt uses the finest steer hide and is very durable. This glove does have a little more then average padding, so it will be good in catching 70+ MPH pitches.
Brett
Does this glove last as long as the CM3000XSBT or should I spend the extra $100 and get the glove that will last longer? Phelpsie
In terms of quality of leather, both will be very similar to each other. The CM3000XSBT features an extended pro pocket that gives it added strength and support over the CM3100SBT. I honestly think both will last a very long time and it's up to the player whether or not to spend the extra money.
Brett
I need a catcher's mitt for my 11 year old son. He seems to have outgrown his original Mizuno youth mitt and I am wondering if there is a particular size or model that he should consider. He is a competitive player and is on the small side, 4'7" and 70 lbs. CatchingDad
This All Star CM3100SBT is a very nice model. I would say with his size he would be good for the 31-32 inch. Another Mizuno, the GXC10 is a nice glove also. You might note our Glove Assurance Policy that can be bought for only $29.99 additional to the cost of the glove. Glove Assurance allows a customer to use the glove for 100 days and if you decide it is not the glove for you within 100 days, you can send it back to JustGloves for a refund.

My son is catching in high school and is looking for a good glove that won't sting his hand after catching kids throwing in the mid 80s. Bigmac
This is a good glove. Will take a little to break in, but good solid glove.
gamer
In several of the reviews they mentioned that if the glove is not broken in "right" a lump may form in the pocket. How are you to break it in right so that this does not happen? bigE
Breaking the glove in by closing your pinkie finger to your thumb instead of your whole hand will help break it in properly.
KB
I am looking at buying this glove however I am not sure what size to get. I am 6', 160 lbs and a freshman catcher for both Freshman and JV baseball teams. What size mitt should I get and will this last me the rest of my high school career if taken care of well? krob17
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT is a great size for a high school or college player. Staying between the sizes of 33" and 34" would be ideal. The quality of the leather you decide on correlates with the durability of the glove. Consistent treatment of the leather will increase the lifespan of this glove and allow you to use this throughout high school.
Tom
Is this mitt or the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh better? ben
Both the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catchers Mitt and the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh Series: PROJP20M Catcher's Mitt are high quality gloves made of top of the line leather. The All Star Pro Series is stiffer and will take longer to break in than the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh Series.
Kara
I play in a men's amateur baseball league and catch a guy throwing in the low to mid 80's and sometimes even higher. Is this glove up to the task of catching guys that throw that hard? Also, what is the most typical size glove that pro catchers use, 33.5 or 35 in gloves? mo
All Star is known for producing high quality mitts with great padding. The CM3100SBT is a great choice and will definitely hold up for you. The average size catcher's mitt at the professional level will be right around 34 inches, some will use a mitt slightly smaller, others use a mitt a little larger.
Tyler
Do you think this gloves leather would compare to an Wilson A2000 or A2K catchers glove? Jackskin
The quality of leather used in the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT would be right below the leather that is used in an A2000. Here is a link to the All Star model that would be comparable to the A2K.

Tom
Would this glove work for an 11 year old catcher playing rep ball? limma
The 33.50" will be too large for an eleven year old. We recommend a 32.00" to a 32.50" catcher's mitt.
Kara
Is there any way that you can remove to wrist guard? swaggerjack
The wrist guard is removable only if you undo a portion of the lacing at the heel of the glove.
Tyler
Is this glove equipped for varsity level pitchers? As a catcher, is this glove strong enough to catch pitchers throwing mid 80s? BobbyG
Yes, the leather in the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt features Japanese tanned steer hide that will be durable enough to hold up to pitching at those speeds.
Tom
What size glove do you recommend for a 13 year old player playing travel ball. Would want it to last at least two years prior to high school? JoeyMac
I would recommend a 32-32.50" glove at your age, which should last you till you get to high school if properly taken care of.
Damon
What is the best way to break this glove in so it lasts the longest but doesn't become floppy? BobbyG
The best way to break in the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt is to just play catch with it and oil it about once or twice a month.
Zach
What's the best way to keep the round shape of the glove before and after breaking it in? baseball
The best way to maintain the shape of the glove is to preserve the leather by applying a thin layer of glove or leather conditioner to your glove once every one or two weeks. Also try to use a secondary backup glove when just playing catch or practicing.
Tom
Is it a good or bad idea to keep a leather belt tied around this mitt while keeping a ball in the pocket? baseball
We recommend using our oversized shaping bands in our glove care kit for proper break in. Keep the bands tied around the glove with the ball in the pocket.
Kara
I'm a high school catcher and I'm catching pitchers from low 70s to low 90s. I'm looking for a glove that will fit right and last the rest of high school ball. Which mitt should I go with? Ryken ball
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt is made with premium oil-softened Japanese tanned US steer hide. It has US rawhide lacing for maximum strength and durability and will perform well at the HS and Collegiate levels.
John
I'm 13 and catching guys that throw 70-80 mph. Is this the right glove for me? Aidan
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt would be a great glove for you. It features premium oil-softened Japanese tanned US steer hide with US rawhide lacing for maximum strength and durability.
Jeff
I'm 14 and 6'0". Would this be a good size for me? Catcher
At 33.5", the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT is most common among players 16 years old and older. A more common size for a 14 year old is 32" or 32.5".
Tyler
I'm 13 years old and 5'2". I'm a serious catcher. Is this a good glove? jackgarriosn10
All Star catcher's mitts are some of the best mitts out there. The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt is an outstanding mitt.
Kevin
Would this glove be a good glove for a high school player? eb
Yes, the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT is a good glove for a high school catcher.
Sean
Will the velcro wrist strap ever start coming off and not sticking any more? baseball guy
The velcro strap on the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt should last a very long time. After many years of play the velcro strap could possibly lose some of its stickiness though.
Brandon
Is the leather quality on this glove? Is it similar to the Pro Preferred or Heart of the Hide? cobra
Yes, the All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) features tanned U.S. Steerhide, so it will be similar to Rawlings' Heart of the Hide Series.
Justin R.
I'm 16, 6 foot and weigh 200 pounds. I tried out for my high school team as a catcher and made varsity, and I need a mitt. I was wondering whether a 33.5" or a 35 size glove would be better for me. The kids on my team throw into the upper 80s. TheGerken
Most people will prefer a 33.5" glove over a 35. Being new to catching I would suggest going with the 33.5" in the All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) Catcher's Mitt. It will offer a little bit better glove control.
Aaron
I am 14 years old I catch guys throwing 70 mph and no knuckle balls. What size is better for me the 35" or the 33.5"? Lucas
According to your age and league I would recommend going with the All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) in the 33.5" model. It offers an open pocket and heavy duty rawhide lacing that would work well for you.
Zach
I am 13 years old. What size of catchers glove should I use? Rally man Osowski
Based on your age, we recommend a 32" catcher's mitt. The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) is a 33.50" pattern, so it may be too large for you. A great model to check out would be the All Star Pro Elite Series (CM3000XSBT). You can check it out here: http://goo.gl/AjvCvV
Tessa
What's the difference between this and the (CM3000SBT)? Is there any major advantage in the (CM3000SBT)? Drock
The All Star Pro Elite Series (CM3000SBT) is made from a higher quality Japanese Tanned Steerhide Leather than this All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) Catcher's Mitt. With good care, the (CM3000SBT) should offer better durability. Aside from that difference, and the wrist guard found on the (CM3100SBT), these gloves offer the same pattern size and are solid designs.
Mac
Does the CM3100BT and the CM3100SBT have the same black and tan color? Dom
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) will have a darker tan color while the CM3100BT model will be a light brown and black color scheme.
John
How long does the glove take to be broken in and ready for a varsity baseball game? arey
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) features pre-oiled leather but it is top grade Japanese steer hide so it will still be pretty stiff. Depending on how much work is put into the break-in process it could take a week to several weeks to get it game ready. Playing with it every day and oiling it appropriately will help in the break-in process.
Patrick
I am a 14 year old catcher, catching mid 60's to 70. Would this glove be okay for me? ETbaseball
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) Catcher's Mitt is a high quality glove made out of Japanese Steerhide leather. The glove will hold up and work very well for what you are looking to get out of it.
Jason
Once I receive a glove, can I try using it in a game? If I don't, can I return it? Someon
Buy the glove with Glove Assurance! Adding Glove Assurance is only $29.99. The Glove Assurance Program will get you a 100 day trial period. If you decide it is not the glove for you within 100 days, you can return it for a refund as long as you bought the program!
Patrick
Dose this glove come for a right handed thrower? jacobbaker1124
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) is made in a right handed thrower style but we are currently out of stock on it. We should be getting more in in the next few weeks.
Patrick
Do you know the exact date that you will have the right hand thrower? Coach
No, we are sorry we do not. The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt) should be back in stock in 2-4 weeks time.
Brandon
How is the leather quality compared to an A2000, for example? For high school baseball, how many seasons will this glove last? Would this glove be the ideal size for a 15 year old with big hands? Is this glove effective with transfers for throwing to second? Does this glove take a while to break in? texas
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) Catcher's Mitt has a slightly lower quality leather than the Wilson A2000 Catcher's mitt. The hand size of this mitt should be a good fit for a 15 year old with big hands. Depending on the use of this mitt, it should be durable enough to last a couple seasons with average use. The pocket will be pretty effective with ball transfers throwing to second. This mitt is designed for fast break-in and hard use.
Tom
What is a better glove? This glove or the Wilson A2000? Which out of the two gloves has the smallest pocket? Koko bb
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt) will be a 33.50" circumference. The A2000 with the same size will be the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB15M1SS Catcher's Mitt). The A2000 should have a more shallow pocket depth. Both gloves will be very high quality. Both gloves are used in very high levels of baseball. You see them a lot in college and in the MLB.
Brandon
Is this glove easy to break in? Is it good for Pony league? beast catcher32
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt) would be an ideal model for a younger catcher. It features a high grade leather that will be fairly stiff even though it is factory pre oiled, so it will require a significant break in period of a week or two, depending on how much it is used.
Joe
Does the glove come in a 33.5 inch? erock
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt) does not come in a 33.5 inch.
Frankie
What is the best All Star catcher's mitt that comes in a 33.5? erock
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt) is a great durable model as well as the All Star Vela Pro Series (CMW3000 Fastpitch Catcher's Mitt).
Allison
I really like this glove and I am deciding what the best size is for me. I am 13 years old, 115 pounds and 5 foot 4. Any suggestions? tom brady
The All Star Pro Series (CM3100SBT) is specifically a 33.5 inch model. That would be a typical size for a player of your age and should work well.
Patrick
How does this glove compare to the CM3000SBT? The cost difference is great. Uses a lot for high school and travel ball. TTom
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt features a flex-action crease and a wider heel channel which helps younger hands close the mitt while the All Star Pro Elite Series: CM3000SBT Catcher's Mitt is designed with a serious player in mind. Other than that, the two mitts offer similar features.
John P.
I know that the All Star Pro Series CM3100SBT is a good glove for high school and one of my teammates has the glove and he says he loves it. The glove I currently have is a Rawlings and I don't like it. When I used my teammates All Star catchers mitt I fell in love with it. It was just so comfortable and I also know that it breaks in really fast. I'm in high school and I'm 16, 150 lbs and 5'7." I was wondering what's the best fit for my size. Lhs baseball catcher
Based on your age, we would recommend getting the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt in a 33.50 inch pattern (like this glove features) or look for an All-Star catcher's mitt in either a 32.50 or 33.00 inch pattern. All three sizes are good options. It comes down to what feels the most comfortable from a receiving standpoint as well as what allows you to transfer the ball the quickest on steal attempts.
Cameron
I'm 15, 151 lbs and 5 foot 7 and I'm currently playing for my high school team. What size would I need because I've been told this is a good glove catching wise and breaking in and I'm on JV so they're throwing around 75-80. What size would you prefer? Lhs catcher
I would recommend that you use a 33" glove. This glove is going to be small enough for you to control it well, but big enough to help you frame pitches easier. The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt is going to be slightly bigger than the recommended size, but if you are comfortable with a 33.5" glove then this glove would be a great option.
Nick
Is there a CM3100 with the lighter tan color that is also a 33.50? Kenny
I have included a link below to all of the All Star Catcher's Mitts that we currently offer with a 33.50 inch pattern. There are a couple that feature a lighter tan color than the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt.

John P.
I bought this mitt for my son last season. It is still not broken in. He has now gone back to using his old mitt, due to the fact that the ball continues to pop out of his glove. I hate to have to buy another mitt. This has been the only mitt that has not lived up to expectations. Any suggestions? Pat
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt is a very good catcher's mitt. With that said, All-Star catchers mitts are going to be tougher to break in than most other models. To help facilitate proper break-in of a catcher's mitt we would recommend reviewing the following short video: http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-resource-guide/breaking-in-a-glove/. If you have a pitching machine at your disposal then catch as many balls from the machine as possible; if not, then catch as many bullpens as possible.
Cameron
What is the difference between the CM3100SBT and the CM3100BT? Rudy
The All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt is 33.50" pattern while the All Star Pro Series: CM3100BT Catcher's Mitt is a 35.00" pattern.
Marcus
Is the 35" glove too large for high school? Is it a knuckleball mitt? Is the pocket 1 1/2" larger than the 33" or is the size difference in other places? I have a very large catcher but I need him to be able to get the ball out of his glove quickly. Ron
The 35 inch catcher mitts would be better served for someone catching a knuckleball pitcher. For most high school catchers, anywhere from a 32.50-33.50 inch pattern would be ideal depending on personal preference; essentially the size that allows for the easiest transfer on steal attempts. The pocket of a 35" glove will be larger than that of a 33" model and could make it harder on some with the transfer.
Cameron
How does the padding on this mitt compare to the CM3200SBT model? I currently own the CM3200SBT mitt and the padding wore out very quickly and I'm looking to upgrade. Ricker
The CM3100SBT is all around a better model than the CM3200SBT. Is uses higher quality leather and comes with the padded wrist guard as well.
Kyle J.
What is the best way to break-in this glove? andt
Ideally the best way to break-in any glove, including the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt, is to play catch with it. That way the glove breaks in better specifically for the player that is using it. Lightly oiling the glove can help as well, but it is best to keep the amount of oil applied to a minimum since it can weigh the glove down.
Jason
Would this be good for a competitive 15 year old player? nick
Yes, the All Star Pro Series: CM3100SBT Catcher's Mitt would be good for a 15 year old player playing competitive baseball. They use Japanese Tanned U.S. Steerhide which will hold up against above average pitch speeds.
Cooper
This might sound like a crazy question but I am a former catcher and want to start just playing catch with some friends. No one throws hard, we are all in our 50's but being a catcher I like to use a catcher's mitt. Is this too much mitt for me? I never like to buy entry level and don't like to upgrade so I prefer to get higher quality than I might need. Thoughts? Chris
I think this would be fine for you if you like good quality mitts. It might take awhile for you to break in, as I would rate this is a quality high school glove intended for pitches in the 75-85 mph range, but All Star makes some of the best quality gloves around. You could always just go to a batting cage for a little bit and catch pitches off the machines if you want to speed up the break-in.
Kyle J.
What is the difference between the CM3000SBT and this glove? Alston
The All Star Pro Series Baseball Catcher's Mitt: CM3100SBT and CM3000SBT are similar in size and design. However, the CM3000SBT is designed to hold up better for faster pitching and more play. It will also take a bit longer to break in.
Tori
What's the difference between the cm3100 sbt and the cm3100 sbtr? Juan
The All Star Pro Series Baseball Catcher's Mitt: CM3100SBT and the CM3100 SBT are very similar but do have a small difference in regards to color.
Alex
My son is a high school catcher, does this glove have any added protection for a catcher's thumb? Duane
The All Star Pro Series Baseball Catcher's Mitt: CM3100SBT does not incorporate anything additional to help with thumb protection.
Cameron
What is the velocity that this glove can last for? I’m on a high school varsity team, and we have some guys throwing low to mid 80s. Would this glove be a good choice? Andrew Contreras
The All Star Pro 33.5" Baseball Catcher's Mitt: CM3100SBT would work well when catching a pitching staff mid-80s and lower.
Cameron
Does this glove play and feel like a true 33.5? Or does it feel smaller or bigger. Andrew Contreras
The All Star Pro 33.5" Baseball Catcher's Mitt: CM3100SBT should play pretty true to it's size.
Dillon
Will this glove fit like the youth model 33.5 or fit larger for a 12u smaller hand. Brian strickland
The All Star Pro 33.5" Baseball Catcher's Mitt: CM3100SBT will have more of an adult size fit for the hand and finger stalls, but it does have an adjustable wrist strap for a better adjustable fit.
