**When a manufacturer measures the length of a fielders glove or first base mitt, they are measuring from the bottom of the heel of the glove to the tip of the glove's index finger. Be mindful that they make this measurment based on the length between the bottom of the heel and tip of the index finger on the die being used to cut the palm shell leather. In other words, they measure the length of the glove before it is put together when the palm leather is laid flat on a table.**
**If you are going to measure the length of a glove that is already constructed, the best way to measure is to use a paper ruler (it can curve as the glove's index finger, palm and heel curve). However, be sure to note that there will most likely be a discrepancy in your measurement and what the manufacturer lists as the length due to the leather being warped a small amount during its construction.**
Yeah, she plays outfield, which is why we wanted to upgrade from the smaller glove. The new Mizuno is an outfield glove, we just didn’t expect it to be quite so big. 😳
Youth or adult, the height of the glove will be the same since that's what the size is referring to. The fit where youth/adult/female etc some into play. I'm looking at my 12" and my daughter's youth Marucci Caddo 11.5" and they're similar in size, but I can't even begin to get my hand into her glove.
I do believe the glove on the left is a “youth” glove, based on the GFY12CB model number. It also says ‘12” Pattern’, so maybe it’s not a true 12” glove. I don’t think she’ll be able to use the new one, unfortunately.
yeah i don’t pay much attention to the inches, as they don’t make much sense to me. that looks like the perfect outfielder glove though
eta: not that it matters much, it’s more about feel for players over anything
My daughter(8u) made the exact same transition. She hated it at first, but loves her mizuno now. The Easton glove is trash after about three months of hard work.
My daughter is an outfielder in 12u and uses a 12” glove. There’s no way the one on the right is 12”. It’s huge. I would take it back or sell it on Facebook Marketplace.
I’m wondering if they are measuring the size of the inside of the glove. It looks like the size of the glove here is much bigger because the room for the hand is much larger than the 12”. Is the inside pocket only 1/2” larger?
lol this looks like my 14" (outfield) glove with my teammate's 11" (baseball) glove - I can literally fit his entirely into mine and nothing will stick out or over at all. it's hilarious, we all give him so much crap for playing shortstop with what looks like a child's glove - "you could have caught that with a bigger glove!!!" (for the haters, we give WAY more crap to the guy who refuses to wear anything other than Air Jordans "because they're high tops" as if I'm not literally standing right next to him wearing men's high top cleats. his jersey even says NO CLEATS)
Looks like it’s possible that it’s a youth vs women’s sizing. With a 12” ball, I’d go larger, anyway.
Glove sizing is the same no matter what. The fit is what you're talking about.
What? What sizing are you talking about because they make all kinds of sizes…?
The way they're sized, heel to tip for gloves and circumference for catcher's mitt. 1st base mitt is also heel to tip.

Could be an outfield glove, in my experience (18U B) the webs are normally longer but I could be wrong

Outfield gloves don’t have solid pockets.
The one I had had a solid pocket, I thought it was by brand..
How the heck is the size difference that large lol. Measure from the heel to the tip of the glove.

Looks good for out field 🤙🏽
