When compared to their baseball counterparts, these Heart of the Hide Fastpitch mitts are going to be super soft and should not require nearly as much break-in as those baseball mitts. Rawlings is advertising that only 35% of the break-in should be left to the lady that receives this mitt. She should only have to put in a little bit of extra work to get it ready for use in games.
As well, these fastpitch Heart of the Hides will have the adjustable pull strap wrist backing on them. All that you need to do is knot the two extra straps as far as you need them to be tied up. Once those are knotted you can tug them between pitches to tighten up the wrist opening. Then if you need to loosen the opening, an easy grab of the pull tab can widen the opening up!
Cover up your mitt hand with a trusty piece of leather when you nab this fastpitch first base mitt from JustGloves. This Heart of the Hide is 13.00" in length which should give you an ample amount of mitt to swipe up any wild softballs that an infielder could toss your way.
