Fielder throws glove at batted ball
First time I have seen this since Little League… our HS short stop pulled his glove and threw it at a ground ball hit up the middle. Clean hit that no one but the center fielder was going to get. Runner rounded first and held up as CF pitched the ball back in. Umpires called time and got together and proceeded to award the runner 2nd.

Style is a personal choice. The size should be 12.75 or 13 inches. 13 is the largest allowed. My son used a Wilson A2000 12.75 in high school. He had to use a Rawlings Pro Preferred 12.75 in college. I used a Rawlings 12.75 in high school and college. I don’t remember the model.

I have a Wilson A500 glove and I don't really like the glove all that much I don't like the feeling of the glove. What are some suggestions for a glove 100-250$?.

12.75 or 13" H-web or Trapeze web are typical outfielder gloves. At that price point I've been a fan of Rawlings Gold Glove Gamers if you can find them. They were replaced by the Gamer and then the R9 which just somehow don't feel quite the same as the original GG Gamer. But that's a personal feel. Mizuno has some good gloves at that pricepoint, the MVP Prime and Elite Prime. Really you are talking about 3 levels of gloves in your price range, so there should be a wide variety to choose...
