Mizuno is known for making it their priority to develop ball gloves for every age and skill level. The Prospect Fastpitch Series is tailor made to fit a young female player's hand. Multiple technologies make it easier for younger players to close the glove, catch the ball and learn to love the game. These gloves help youth players catch the "right" way, in the pocket. Mizuno's patented PowerClose technology places "hinges" where players would close the glove to make squeezing the ball and making the catch as simple as can be! This double hinged heel creates an extra wide pocket for extra security when catching the ball. Inside the glove, a ParaShock Palm Pad reduces all shock caused by impact and leaves the player's hand sting-free! This mitt also utilizes Mizuno's PowerLock adjustable Velcro wrist strap to create a snug, comfortable and custom fit for every player. This model features a closed back for excellent control at any position in the field. Mizuno: Be Yourself, Only Better! Free Shipping!

Pros: This glove is ready to use right out the box. My 14 y/o daughter tried on many different gloves many that were much more expensive than this glove at a local sporting goods store and she liked this glove the best. The V Flex and Powerclose technologies really allow this glove to close easily! We decided to buy from Justballgloves because the price was better than the local store and to our suprise they threw in a free glove bag as well! Excellent customer service and fast shipping to top it off. Between my daughter and 7 y/o son, all future glove purchases will come from Justballgloves.com !!
Cons: None

or
Is this entire glove full grain leather? We currently have the Mizuno gpl 1152d and really like the quality. This appears to be a very similiar glove. Is the gpl 1257 the same glove,just brown??
Scot
It is the same glove, only the GP1258 is black.
K.B.
Would this be a good glove for a 9 year pitcher in her second year of softball?
mphilp
We suggest a 11.00" or a 11.50" glove for her age and position.
Kara
Is the GPL1258 lighter than the GPM1251?
sammy
Unfortunately, glove weight is not considered a key selling point and the differences are often very minor. The GPM1251 is a discontinued model that we no longer have in stock. We would be unable to answer your question with 100% accuracy. However, both are 12.5 inch models made from similar materials, both have closed webs and feature a Velcro strap. Weight will be very similar between the two.
Tyler
What is the difference in size between this glove and the GMVP1258P?
RIch
Both the Mizuno Prospect Fastpitch Series and the Mizuno Prime Fastpitch Series are 12.50 in. models.
Nick K.
My daughter is 11, almost 12. She is in her second season of fast pitch after 6 years of baseball. What size infield glove do you recommend for play with a 12" ball? How about catchers mitt size? Thank you!
M
A 12" glove is recommended for an 11 or 12 year old infielder in fastpitch softball. A 32.5" catchers mitt would be the best size for her age group.
Tyler
My son is 12 years old and plays infield (all positions), but most of the time he's pitching. What size glove would you suggest?
Etri-Noli
The Mizuno Prospect Fastpitch Series: GPL1258 Youth will be too big at 12.50". I would recommend looking at an 11.50" glove.
