Reply to "Extra Padding for Catcher's Mitt"

piaa_ump5,000+ posts

As an ex-catcher, I have a couple of ideas...

One the mitt may need to be replaced....or at least repaired... the one thing I see in higher baseball is that catchers mitts, due to the pounding, tend to wear out quickly....they may look fine and actually be good and supple for the other aspects of catching, but not supply the padding for the higher level fastballs...

Options....get a new mitt....or send the old one off for repair with new padding..

Easton makes a good palm padded batting glove that may help....

Or you can do what we used to do....cut a small sponge to fit....

Or as my sons college roommate (college catcher) sarcastically suggested...learn to catch it in the web not the palm.....

all works....just fit to your budget...
