Average Ratings Based on 2 Customer Reviews
Pros: We are still in the break in stage and not able to use it on game day yet. My granddaughter likes the look of the glove but finds it difficult to catch with at this time.
Cons: Paid extra to have it treated to speed up the break in period but I do not think the $29 I paid made any difference , it was still very stiff when we received the glove
Pros: Good design and fit for an 18U player. Functioned very well at all infield positions and while not the glove of choice for outfield it did a great job in a pinch. Glove stands up pretty well to hard play. Through hard use and abuse the leather stands up flawlessly exceot in the case of getting soaked in a rain storm. After that it lost a lot of its rigidity.
Cons: Glove is made well, but like any glove it can get too used and lose some functionality at certain positions. THis glove lasted a season and a half before it became too floppy to work as well as it could for SS. Plater preferred a more firm pocket and rigid finger structure which this glove had until it got wet in a storm once and never recovered its stiffness. Glove was replaced with identical model and is in use at the college level today.

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.
