Youth Baseball Gloves seem like they would be simple to shop for, but there are many factors to consider before buying them. The process is just like if you were to buy a glove for an adult. Position is a big key to what glove you are going to purchase for you child. Infield gloves are going to be a little shorter with a pocket that isn’t quite as deep as an outfielder glove.
