Developed with USA All-Star Jennie Finch, the Franchise Finch series was designed to meet the specific biomechanical needs of the fastpitch softball player. These mitts are made from oiled Durasoft leather that provides unrivaled comfort and game-ready playability. Comfort is enhanced as SureFit Foam is added to the finger stalls to create a cushioned and more customized fit. This custom fit feeling is amplified by a Power Lock Wrist Closure that provides the quickest and most secure fit available. The Franchise Finch series uses a Double Hinge Heel that creates an extra wide pocket for secure catching. These gloves also feature a V-Flex Notch that is designed to help initiate easy closure. Plus, with a ParaShock Palm Pad, that stinging feeling after a catch will not be an issue. The Franchise Finch series is worth owning not only because of all of the technology and practicality it provides, but it is also cosmetically appealing. The unique web styles on this series are specially designed for fastpitch softball and will undoubtedly turn some heads. With a Sakura leaf pattern around the web, players will take the field in style! Mizuno: Be Yourself. Only Better! Free Shipping!

Can this glove be used in baseball as well or would you suggest it only be used in softball? I love the web design
Brian
Fastpitch gloves are designed specifically for fastpitch. They have smaller finger stalls for women's hands and a big pocket for softballs.
Kara
Can this be use for infielders? A second baseman for example or is this too big?
g
Yes, a 12.00" glove like this Mizuno Franchise Finch Series: GFN1209 is a great fit for a second baseman playing fastpitch softball.
Tom
Would this glove be good for a youth player? My daughter is 8.
jay
At 12", the Mizuno Franchise Finch Series: GFN1209 is a little too big for your average 8 or 9 year old. A better size would be 11" to 11.5".
Tyler
My daughter is 12 years old and plays infield would a 12 inch glove be too small or does she need a bigger size?

Using the Glove Coach Feature on justballgloves.com I was able to determine that an 11.50" model is recommended on the Mizuno Franchise Finch Series: GFN1209 Fastpitch glove for a 12 year old player. Using a 12" glove should still be fine. It would also allow her to get more use out of the glove long term.
Brandon
My granddaughter is 14 and plays shortstop. Would a 12.00" or 12.50" pattern be better?

We would recommend this Mizuno Franchise Finch Series: GFN1209 12.00" fastpitch model for a 14-year-old shortstop. For more glove sizing information, check out our Glove Coach tool: http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-coach/.
Mac
Would a 12 or 12.5" be better for a 14 year old girl whom plays pitcher/first base? She is 5' 10".
MJ
The Mizuno Franchise Finch Series: GFN1209 Fastpitch at 12.00", is slightly small for first base play, at 12.00". For a 14 year old, we'd recommend a 12.50" model, such as the Mizuno Franchise Finch Series: GFN1259 Fastpitch.
