Reply to "Rawlings Catcher’s Mitts"

As always, it comes down to whatever the player is most comfortable playing with.  For what it is worth, my son used an All Star top line glove for years, switched to a Mizuno Pro Select model (made in Japan) for several high school/travel years, and now has gone to a Wilson A2K, 33.5" for the past two years (D1 & D2) at the suggestion of a friend of his who is a MLB starting catcher.  (Deserved or not, I think he gains confidence in knowing this player, who is of similar physical stature, is excelling with this glove.)

He has a well worn A2k that is his gamer, and a newer A2K that he has been breaking in for a while.(!)          FYI, he is VERY old school/superstitious and does nothing extra to work in gloves besides catching bull pens or the occasional pitching machine.  He has great All Star glove that is worked in, but feels it is smaller than his A2K.

IMO, I do feel that All Star gloves seemed to break in fairly quickly - not much longer than other gloves.
