Glove steamer

.

First off...welcome to the HSBBW jt123. Concerning your query, this is the only thing I was able to find.

Anyone else? A little help for one, two, three?

Loan it to a pitching coach for a week or two!

Excellent advice!

My son had his glove steamed by Mizuno when they were at our local wholesaler. He really like the way they shaped it and the glove was broken in really quickly.

That would make me nervous. I'd rather just play catch with it for a couple of weeks.

Not a day goes by that I don't learn something new on HSBBWeb. Steaming a glove......who would have thunk it.

The local baseball equipment source has one. It's AMAZING what this thing can do in 10 minutes or so...steaming, shaping the pocket, steaming it..

Kids are buying brand new stiff gloves and playing with them a day or two later.

It is a great way to break in a new glove for immediate use. I had my son's new Pro Preferred steamed when we bought it a couple of years ago.

There may be a downside, however. That glove didn't last long...it just became too soft too quickly.

We replaced that glove with another Pro Preferred. This time my son used the old fashioned Rawlings break-in kit, along with using the glove for long toss. When it wasn't being used, it was shaped with a large plastic whiffle ball (came with the kit). It really didn't take long - a couple of weeks.
