Description

Mizuno is known for making it their priority to develop ball gloves for every age and skill level. The Prospect Series is tailor made to fit a young ball 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 Prospect Series glove features Magic Claw technology that places small "nodes" in the pocket to assist in securing 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 adjustable wrist strap to create a snug, comfortable and custom fit for every player. This model features a closed back for ultimate control and a Tartan basket web to help players snag anything that comes their way! Mizuno: Be Yourself, Only Better! Free Shipping!

Pros: These gloves are absolutely great. Ready to use out of the box minimal shaping and break in required.

Cons: Our first won got way to soft. My son had a habit of smashing the top down to open it up, rather than peel the edges out. With how soft the glove starts this led to it wearing down quick. Our fault, did not hesitate to buy a new one and correct how he uses it.

Pros: Bought for my 12 yr old outfielder/pitcher. Little break in time required. Good padding, deep pocket, closes easily and envelopes ball well. Fits kids smaller hands and offers good glove control.

Cons:

Im 12 years old and playing 11-12 baseball would this glove last me till highschool ball Jace
Since this is a youth model this glove may not last until high school. Youth gloves tend to have smaller finger stalls.

Would this be good glove for my 7 year old daughter who plays travel fastpitch and is strarting to pitch. Is the pocket bei enough for a softball?? Lauren
This is one of the few baseball gloves that could be broken in to a softball. Here are a few suggestions, pitchers usually use slightly smaller gloves. Rawlings Fastpitch Series: FP115, Wilson A440 Series: FP115BR Fastpitch,Worth Monica Abbott Youth Series: MA115FPX Fastpitch just to list a few. Keep in mind our 100 day guarantee if she doesn't like the way it feels or size is not right.
Linda
My son is 10 and has played baseball for about 4 years. He plays in a fairly casual youth league. Would this be a good glove or would it be a little big? He is about average height or a little smaller and a slightly larger build. Does the glove close easy, he tends to drop the ball out of his glove on occasion. Thanks J A R
This glove should fit him just fine. Since it is a youth model, it will have smaller finger stalls and a smaller wrist opening to fit smaller hands better. This glove also features Mizuno's PowerClose technology making the glove easy to close. I think this would be a great glove for your son!
Jennifer
My sun is an 11 year old utility player and i was looking at the 11 1/2 ATM92-12 and liked it but the 11 1/2 seem so small. Would this glove be a better fit and would he be able to play with either glove for a couple years or should i look at a 12inch glove. THANKS!! Joey
The average size glove for an 11 year old utility player is 11.5 or 11.75 inches. The Mizuno GPT1176 would be a great option that should fit him very well. You can look at a 12 inch glove as well, which shouldn't be too big on him now.
Tyler
Hello, I have a 6 yr old going to be 7, he is very good at catching and has a 10 inch glove right now that is a little to small for him now. He is playing 3rd base mainly but moves throughout the infield. I am looking at this mizzuno youth glove. Can you tell me if this would be your suggestion or what would you suggest. He is 54 inches tall if that helps. Sonny
In my opinion, a 11.75" glove is going to be too big for a 6 or 7 year old. I would recommend an 11" or 11.25" youth glove for a player that age.
Tyler
I have a 9 yr. old daughter. Would this glove be ok for softball? What material is the glove made of? Which glove would be quickest to break in? Thanks Steve
The Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176 Youth model is a baseball glove. It could be used for softball use but there is also a Series in this glove called the Prospect Fastpitch Series. It will feature the true softball pattern design and provide a few different color options as well. The GPT1176 Youth glove will have a fast period of break-in. The High-Low Lacing, Thumb V-Flex, and PowerLock Technology will make this glove super easy to use from Day 1. This glove will be made of Full Grain Leather.
Brandon
What kind of leather is this glove made of? Also, are the laces leather? Marty
The Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176 Youth glove is made from cowhide leather, as are the laces.
Tyler
How does this glove compare to the Mizuno Prospect GPT 1175 youth baseball glove? That one was recommended to us but we are unable to find. Irish
The Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176 Youth is the newer model of the GPT1175. They are the same glove.
Kara
My son is turning 11 this month, but is the size of a 9 year old. Which size would work best for him? I use the same version of this glove in adult size and love it's lightweight and grip on the ball. Jooshh77
The Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176 Youth model may be a bit large at 11.75". We recommend an 11.00" model for an average nine year old. For further information on sizing, please visit our Glove Coach at http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-coach/
Aubrey
I have a 11 yr old that has a 10.75" Mizuno that he can still use for infield, I am looking for an outfield glove for him and he is small for his age. I'm looking at this one and the wilson A1000? DP
Between the Wilson A1000 Series and Mizuno Prospect Series, the Wilson A1000 Series is more durable as it is made with a higher quality leather. However, if he is smaller for his age, the Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176 may be a better choice as it is a youth model that should fit your son's hand better than the A1000.
Tyler
I have a bigger hand but I am interested in this glove. Is there anyway I can get this glove in a larger size? 3bagballer
Unfortunately we don't carry the 11.75" Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176 Youth glove with alternate hand sizing. If you have larger hands, I would suggest looking at the Adult models.
Marcus
I accidentally bought the Mizuno GPM1201 and didn't know it was a softball mitt. To bad as it is lightweight, well padded and not too stiff. Which of the Mizuno gloves would be similar in like a 11.5 or 11.75? Thanks Mcgee
This glove (Mizuno Prospect Series: GPT1176) or the Mizuno Prospect Series: GPL1154 would be the most similar options to the Mizuno Premier Series.
Tyler
Is this a baseball glove? My 9 year old son is playing rep baseball next year and one of the other kids has this one and he wants one too. Carts
This Mizuno Prospect Series is in fact a youth baseball glove. We don't currently carry this model, but here is a link to a comparable glove. http://www.ballglovewarehouse.com/product/mizuno-prospect-series--gpt1177-youth/18134/
