Mizuno Franchise 11.75″ Infield/Pitcher Baseball Glove
The Mizuno Franchise infield baseball glove is a great infielders glove for younger baseball players. Mizuno has been one of the best glove manufacturers for a long time, always staying at the top. I have always loved the Mizuno glove series because of the durability and performance.
When I was around 12 years old I sported a Mizuno baseball glove as well. It was for outfielders but nonetheless has a great design. It was easy to catch fly balls and take grounders in practice. It was a great length for me because I was able to learn how to crow hop from the outfield, so it had to touch the ground when I bend over just a little.
The best part was that it didn’t break the bank by any means. That is also something that I like about Mizuno.
Design
This infielder and/or pitcher baseball glove is an awesome length at 11.75”. For ages 11-15 I would say this is ideal. My nephew has a glove that is 11.75” and says that it is perfect for ground balls since he plays second base. Sometimes players like a small glove but it is solely up to the player. When I was that age I liked a larger sized glove because it is just easier to trap baseballs in the glove.
The type of lacing on the Mizuno Franchise GFN1175B1NY 11.75″ Infield/Pitcher Baseball Glove is called Hi-Low lacing. This style allows the glove to have a lot of flexibility to it. I know that a lot of infielders are going for those really hard baseball gloves that don’t move but I always preferred some flex.
Performance
I really like this glove and know that it performs well throughout the infield. It is comfortable, flexible, and durable, and all for a low price. The styles of the laces and web design create a great looking glove with awesome functionality.
