For over a century, Louisville Slugger has been making quality baseball equipment for all ages and skill levels. This season, Louisville Slugger introduces a series of gloves designed for the player who is crossing over from youth baseball to more competitive levels. The Omaha Select Series is perfect for players that have outgrown their youth mitts but still aren't varsity level players. That doesn't mean they have to sacrifice any quality though. The transitioning player deserves better than an ordinary youth glove or hand-me-down. The Omaha Select Series is designed for superior comfort and long-lasting life with patterns sized specifically for a proper fit. These gloves are made in professional patterns using lightweight, oil-treated cowhide leather that gives players a superior feel and fit. With dye-through lacing, these gloves are as durable as they are comfortable. Inside the glove, players will find Bruise-Gard Padding that protects the hand against sting and promotes confident catching. All of the gloves in the Omaha Select Series feature a conventional open back and professional-style web designs for outstanding control in the field, on the mound, or behind the plate!

Pros: This was the first season that my son (9U) began to spend dedicated time at a single position. The Omaha Select glove was a perfect choice for someone who's playing at a moderate level, but still growing, so not ready for a pro-quality glove. It's well made, easy to break in and fits his hand perfectly. Having the right glove has made him an even better first baseman for his team!
Cons: The edges of the leather in the webbing, between the lacing, got scuffed up a little easily, but this isn't meant to be legacy glove, so that's not a huge surprise....

Pros: Decent quality, very little break in required. Good mitt for a young player
Cons: Not really a con but it runs small compared with Akadema & Rawlings mitts.

I am nearly 5' tall and weigh 90 lbs. I will be 13 soon. I am just starting to play first base and am looking for a quality glove that does not cost as much as a gloves the pro's use. Is this the right glove for me?

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.
