There are a few guidelines that are important to follow when choosing a glove size. Check out the pointers below to determine what size you should be looking for. The larger size gloves (13 to 14-inch) are for softball players. Middle infielders should look for a shallower pocket within the recommended size range for the best transfer.

FIT FOR ADULTS

Outfielders 12½ to 13½ inch (larger pockets make for great catching)

Infielders 12 to 12¾ inch (slightly smaller for a quick transfer)

Pitchers 12 to 12¾ inch (like infielders, a little smaller for good transfer)
