Son is 14U 5'7" 125 lbs. and needs to get a quality outfield glove he can use for a few years. Any suggestions? He has a HOH for infield that he likes.

My boys like the Wilson a2000 for infield. They have that version for of too
Have been a big fan of A2000s for a long time however, what you get for the money for a custom 44 is hard to beat. IMO
The last 3 gloves my son has had are 44, A2000, and 44. He said to me, "Since I'm a PO can i get a new glove every year since you're not spending $500 on a new bat every 9 months?" SMH.
I was always partial to the Nakona's that are made in America.
My older son preferred the Rawlings HOH 5 finger (Trapeze) web, comes in fastback or normal back. HOH will run you about 100 less than pro-preferred and is high quality leather (preferred is KIP)
Younger son preferred the Rawlings H-Web over the Trapeze web.
To me nothing feels as good on my hand as a Rawlings, never wore anything else since 8 years old. You know which glove as soon as you put it on.
Son seems to really like his Rawlings HOH with Trapeze web. This is his first year of HS, his youth glove was suddenly much too small, and we expect this glove to last for a number of years.
Thanks everyone. So the winner is Rawlings HOH with H web. The second day he used it to catch pop flys and caught everything. He was really enjoying the glove. Pretty impressive how broken in it was to start unlike breaking in a new catcher's mitt.
