Catcher’s gloves — often called catcher mitts — are built to handle the fastest pitches and the toughest impacts in the game. Unlike standard fielding gloves, they feature a heavily padded, closed design with a deep pocket that helps absorb the force of high-velocity throws. Their stiff, durable construction gives catchers the control and reliability they need behind the plate, while still offering enough flexibility to frame pitches and make quick transitions. Learn more about choosing the right glove.
Whether you’re catching in baseball, fastpitch, or slowpitch, the right mitt can make all the difference. Baseball and fastpitch catchers often prefer stiffer, pro-patterned designs for maximum control, while slowpitch models focus on larger pockets and increased comfort for recreational play. From beginner-friendly, easy-to-break-in mitts to high-end models built with premium leather, you’ll find a full range of catcher’s gloves suited to every skill level and style of play.
