20 Best Baseball Glove For 12 Year Old (2023 Updated)

The Rawlings PL115BC is a very nice glove offered at an attractive price. The Pro H web is wide and the conventional back feels good. The camel and black colorways look very premium. The 11. 5″ size is suitable for either baseball or softball.

Although it is not constructed of leather, the synthetic material used to manufacture this glove feels supple. Break-in is really very quick: just play catch with it a few times and it is ready to go.

Overall, this glove seems to be a good value and I believe it would be welcomed by most baseball and softball players.

Excellent price, excellent value. Ready to be used. 13 imches, the size I prefer for softball. In the description said all leather but only the inside is, that should be corrected. Still should be good enough for a few years of playing.

I bough this glove about two months ago. It was extremally and i mean extremally stiff out of the plastic. So expect a longer break in time. I’ve been working with it ever since. Started out with ASO hot water and mallet method.

after drying fully oiled and continued beating. I pull it out to play catch when i can. its just not ready for game use yet. Overall its a great quality glove, it was a little pricey, and i wish for the money it kind of came a little softer for an easier break in, but this glove will last me years of playing I’m sure.

We purchased this glove as a gift for our 12 year old son, and he likes it. It’s continued to break in nicely- no resistance to how it should break, or rather hw he wants it to break. Very stiff at first, and still so, but very useable.

Wilson does not recommend steaming, so he hasn’t done that, nor has he used hot water to break it in. We’ve been playing a ton of catch, and he’s been using it for indoor team practices. from what I can see, the ball finds the spot in the pocket every time.

In my opinion, the color of this glove will only look better and better over the years. I like how inside and out, the whole thing is leather , minus the back of hand strap. Even the nice glove I got when I was my son’s age had some fabric lining, which has now deteriorated.

The glove came ready to play. within 24 hours of have a catch for 20 mins, it was game ready. The leather of this glove is outstanding, including the stitching. My son just turned 11, with average size hands and this glove was a perfect fit.

He plays outfield and made each and every catch. If you’re thinking of getting a A2000 or A2K, don’t waste your money. This is a perfect glove for an 11 year old who plays club ball or outfield.

I have small hands, am an adult, yet was able to modify this glove to fit my hand and wow is it a stellar performer for the price. Lots of pop, and just feels high quality when worn. Enjoying every minute of it.

Been in use now for over 6 months and gets used nearly 3 days a week. Thought I would buy this till I decided on a 200+$ glove but honestly I have zero intention of upgrading. Fantastic in fielding glove that’s fun to pitch and catch with on the daily.

Feels good.

In my opinion this glove has to be one of the best gloves for beginning and experienced youth players! It comes very flexible and game ready out of the wrapper! I would definitely recommend this glove if you are looking for a new one!.

The glove was for my 10 year old son. He was able to open and close this glove better than the previous glove we bought. His first glove gave him more trouble than I realized. I wished I had got this glove sooner.

He really enjoys playing more now that he can catch properly.

Picked the glove up in early 2022. It’s only been used twice a week in U13 indoor practices for the past 3 months. Multiple tears in the interior of glove, just below webbing. Won’t purchase another Franklin product.

A Perfect glove for the starter all the way to pro almost! Great Quality! Love the Smell of Leather! I would buy this for anyone male or female! A+

Franklin makes a great baseball glove, for those who enjoy playing the game. What’s best about it, is that you can get it for a fraction of the price, of other brand name gloves! They come in right or left thrower and in all sizes, from children to adults.

Makes for a excellent X-Mas gift.

Bought this glove for my 6 year old son, he is tall for his age would recommend for a larger 6 year old or 7. Glove does have wrist adjustments. Not to much break in was required just a few good days of working it and was ready for practice.

Good construction and would recommend. I used a paste style conditioner and did not have any color bleeding I would do a test area before using a liquid style conditioner.

I bought this glove for my 6 year old son and it’s a great quality glove for a great price. Mizuno makes one of the best gloves in my opinion and this one fits in that opinion. I coach high school baseball and I always recommend Mizuno.

Great glove for my 7 year old. He was able to use it right away without having to break it in. Perfect glove for him as he graduates from t-ball to baseball.

Fits nicely for a 10 year old. Not too tight or too big. Not too stiff even out of the package but needs a little breaking it.

Coloring is nice. Fake leather is not durable. The ties come loose easily and break when retightening.

First baseball glove for my 4 year old grandson…he’s starting T-Ball…the ball that comes with the glove is perfect for his skill level…can’t go wrong with a Rawlings..

Great glove for my daughter. Soft and easy for her to use.

I brought this mitt for my 11 year old daughter and she’s absolutely loved it. Her first time catching and she’s mention this mitt was much better than the one her coach had. She’s used it to warm up more than her regular glove at times.

I would definitely recommend.

This glove is a great all-around glove. The gloves are soft, well padded, and there is no need to break-in. If you are looking for a stiff infielder’s glove, this item is not for you. Great for kids 4-11 years old at a very reasonable price.

I know, I have bought my son’s the Wilson A2K 2022 Infielder’s Glove at 10 times the cost. We use this glove more than the Wilson glove.

Very comfortable, quick delivery. Will use them to ref basketball tomorrow night. So will see how they go. This is my second pair of this kind and I found the 1st to be very light and comfortable.

Went and looked at this glove and it was everything that I expected. Get this for your future Baseball professional.

Great road shoes and so far has improved my PB’s twice this month. Love the design and how well they fit my feet like a glove giving great support whilst being so light you hardly feel you are wearing anything.

This was a Christmas gift for my 8 yr. old grandson and he LOVES it! He is a left-handed thrower and sometimes it’s hard to find a suitable glove for him. Thank you to Baseball Savings for having a great selection of Youth Gloves (left and right throwers), in stock, ready to ship and great prices!.

Shipping was quick and the product packaging was excellent. I highly recommend purchasing from Baseball Savings.

Can’t beat it for the price! My son loves patrolling centerfield with this huge ball gobbler. He’s had more expensive gloves but loves how it came broken in and has a huge pocket with a cool Trap-Eze web.

The only con with this glove is that it’s made with cheap leather that probably won’t last more than a season. Well worth it though!.

So far my son is liking his glove, still a little big for him so we will see as he grows into it. It is pretty well broken in but he still has trouble closing around the ball at times, nothing that isn’t to be expected with a new glove and at the beginning of the season.

Overall we’re really happy with the glove.

Needed a left handed glove for a company outing TOMORROW! (Not easy to find this time of year). Extremly happy with this glove. MUCH BETTER than what i thought I would get for $38. And it was in stock at my store.

This product is very good. Soft leather, durable, flexible and has a nice neutral color wave of brown and black trimmed with tan

Nice Adult Glove. The glove is a quality well made glove. The Glove has a great price.

I bought this glove for my son to learn the fundamentals of baseball and softball. My son likes his new. He enjoys how comfortable the glove feels on his hand. My son also likes the color of the glove.

Great buy from our local AAFES Exchange on the military base. Would recommend it for beginners.

About as good for the money as you can get. I bought a custom A2000 and it was botched from the factory. This replaced my $420 glove and works amazing off the shelf.

The glove come ready to use with minimal break in. My grandson had it in his bag and our pet dog found it one day. The dog chewed all the lacings off it and eating the web. This destroyed the glove. Now having to order more.

Love ❤️ it!!! Purchased direct early summer 2021. Bought it for the lightweight, excellent leather, and the special fit. Should be broken in for 2 weeks before it’s perfectly game ready. Once ready, it’s awesome.

My son loves the fit inside, feels like a glove inside a glove. My son wears it two in the pinky. Now 6 months later, it’s held up beautifully. My son is (now) 10. 5yo all-star infielder /pitcher, 4’7 66 lbs.

we purchased the 11. 5 size. To go back in time, I’d have looked at the 11. 25. While the 11. 5 is very lightweight and easy to close when broken in, it just looks a wee bit big for his small size. All in absolutely love this glove.

Will absolutely still with Marucci gloves going forward.

Kinda stiff kinda broke in very good glove for the price takes a little work to get broke in but definitely worth it look to maybe lasting a while for the price

Very nice feeling glove. Without a doubt the most comfortable ball glove I have ever owned.

Great glove for my 20 yr old who plays Little League and travel ball. He play both infield and outfield and this glove work great for him. Great quality and very easy to break in. I highly recommend this glove for youth bb players.

glove is nice but i was not sure about the hand size and this is youth size at best fournately my grandson is left handed as well and he loves it although its rahter stiff i have a large hand so whats the large hand size.

this glove did not specify adult or youth. thanks as i still need a glove to play with him.

I really like this glove. It didn’t feel stiff so I was ready to start playing using it. I mostly play outfield but once in a while, I play infield. This glove is perfect for that.

I have been tracking this glove for a while. it looked great on line but would it be a quality purchase? when it arrived the leather was just a little dry so I quickly applied some quality lanolin conditioner and now the glove looks, smells and feels awesome!.

great glove for the price. bought it for my 15 year old son who played freshman and travel ball. quick break in with nice H-back pocket. he loves it. great alternative to higher priced models you see hanging off the hands of middle and high school kids!.

Amazing glove, real old time baseball, light for him to use, broke it perfect, a bit flimsy but no complaints. Id do this over again for sure. The first glove had better and deeper dark coloring. The second glove had the light brown i dont like as well.

So far Iv purchased one for each boy as their first mitt, and got myself a catcher mitt and just ordered a 12. 50 professional IWEb.

My son plays 13u travel and had a 44 that never adequately broke in. This glove is high quality but arrives broken in around 80%. I treated once with a lanolin conditioner and after a couple practices it’s practically game ready.

Most importantly, my son loves it and won’t touch his other mitt. I would recommend this glove for any level.

Terrific glove so far. Should be 5 star but I knocked 1 star because I consider the hand opening bigger than a youth size. I restocked the opening to make it smaller.

This is a really good quality glove. Perfect size for my 8yr old. Still needs to be broken in, but overall a solid infield glove.

Purchased this fir my 11yo lefty and couldn’t be happier. Its game ready right out of the box and has a soft touch but firm “catch” My son loves it.

It’s a great glove. The fit is awesome. Pricing and fast shipping we’re exceptional.

Love it, great quality and comfortable. My son tried on a few and this was his first choice.

Fantastic soft leather. My only complaint was its a little too big for my sons hand. There are other gloves the same size that the hand area is smaller. Overall it is an awesome glove tho

This is a great glove. It broke in super quickly, it only took 2 days. One thing is the leather is lighter in person than the picture. Maybe that was just for me, but I actually prefer the look. This glove has a shallow pocket so you don’t feel like the glove is super secure but this is perfect for infield.

The thin heel pad gave a quick break in, but the glove might get floppy more quickly. The palm liner feels amazing. I loosened the web a little so I can feel like the ball is more secure, and that made if feel better.

MY REVIEW IN ONE SENTENCE: Its a great and comfortable glove for an infielder with a quick break in and a shallow pocket.

I just graduated from college as a division 1 baseball player. I used this glove for my first of four years of college ball and I can safely say with confidence that this glove is NOT the glove to buy.

The glove is good before it gets past the peek of its life. Once the glove is overworked and starts to get floppy at ALL, you will have problems with the ball staying in the pocket. It gets slippery, and the web is not strong enough to hold the ball.

I would advise everyone to go buy AllStar catchers mitts, they are more pricey, however you will get a much more quality glove and will have LOTS of less dropped balls. This glove sounds and looks and plays good for a very short time, but will let you down eventually.

I was never going to leave this review, until I saw the catcher from Virginia during the 2021 CWS have the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I had. We were using the same glove and once I saw he was having the same trouble as me, I had to let the world know to not buy these gloves.

The infield mitts are very good, however I as a division 1 ball player give you the advise to not buy Wison catchers mitts, and to buy AllStar.

Bought this for my 10 year old son to use as an all purpose infield and outfield glove. This is our 2nd A2000. The leather lining is noticeably softer than the older model and the wrist binding leather is a nice touch.

The overall leather quality and color combo are great. We used Wilson’s recommended hot water break in method with a mallet and it was ready to go after a couple days. Do not steam, it’s bad for the leather and voids the warranty.

Try it on in a store if you can. Our local store had 3 and they all fit very differently. So happy with this glove. We are A2000 users for life!.
