Measuring Your Hand

There are a few things you’ll need in order to measure your hand for a baseball glove: a measuring tape, a marker, and a friend. Have your friend hold one end of the measuring tape at the base of your palm, and wrap it around your hand until it meets back at the base of your palm. Make a small mark with the marker at the point where the measuring tape meets.

Wrap a measuring tape around your palm just below the base of your fingers.

Wrap a measuring tape around your palm just below the base of your fingers, making sure the tape is snug against your skin. Make a fist around the end of the measuring tape and note the measurement in inches. Repeat this process for your other hand and compare the two measurements. If they differ, use the larger of the two measurements.

Note the measurement in inches and centimeters.

To find your glove size, measure (in inches) around your hand over the knuckles, not including the thumb, as shown in the illustration. Round the measurement down to the nearest half inch and add 1 inch. This is your glove size. (If you are left-handed, measuring from the right hand may give you a more accurate measurement.)

For glove sizes over 12 inches, use our baseball glove size chart to find your perfect fit:

14 inches = Extra large (XL)
13.5 inches = Large (L)
13 inches = Regular (R)
12.5 inches = Small (S)
11.5 inches and under = Youth

Finding the Right Glove Size

You’ve decided you’re going to need a new baseball glove. Congratulations! But before you can purchase the perfect glove, you need to make sure you know how to measure your hand for a baseball glove. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of finding the right glove size.

Use the chart below to find the right glove size for your hand.

To find your glove size, measure (in inches) the circumference of your palm just below your knuckles, excluding your thumb. The number of inches should equal your glove size.

How To Measure Your Hand For A Baseball Glove?
If you’re not sure what size baseball glove you need, don’t worry! Measuring for a baseball glove is actually very easy. Just follow the simple steps below and you’ll be on your way to finding the perfect fit.

To find your glove size, measure (in inches) the circumference of your palm just below your knuckles, excluding your thumb. The number of inches should equal your glove size.

For example, if your hand measures 7 inches around, you would need a size 7 baseball glove.

Once you have your measurement, refer to the chart below to find the corresponding glove size. If you’re between sizes, or if you have a wide hand, it’s always best to err on the side of buying a larger glove.

Size Circumference (inches)
6 6-6 1/2
7 6 1/2-7
8 7-7 1/2
9 7 1/2-8
10 8-8 1/2

If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size.

When you’re shopping for a baseball glove, you’ll need to know your hand size. To find out, simply wrap a tape measure around your palm at its widest point, making sure not to include your thumb. Note the circumference of your hand in inches or centimeters, and consult the sizing chart below to find the closest match.

– If your hand circumference is 7 inches (18 cm) or less, you’ll need a youth glove.
– If your hand circumference is 7.5 to 8.5 inches (19 to 22 cm), you’ll need a small adult or intermediate glove.
– If your hand circumference is 9 to 10 inches (23 to 25 cm), you’ll need a medium adult glove.
– If your hand circumference is 10.5 inches (26 cm) or more, you’ll need a large adult glove.

Breaking in Your Glove

In order to break in your glove, you’re going to need to measure your hand. You can do this by wrapping a measuring tape around your hand at the base of your fingers. Make sure to measure from the base of your palm to the top of your middle finger. You should also measure your hand in inches.

Soften the leather by working it with your hand.

Break in your new baseball glove the right way by following these simple steps:

1. Soften the leather by working it with your hand.
2. Make a fist and work the leather around your knuckles.
3. Repeat this process until the leather feels pliable and soft.
4. Once the leather is softened, shape it into the form of a baseball mitt.
5. Wrap a ball in a soft cloth and tie it securely with string.
6. Place the ball inside the glove and tie it shut.
7. Leave the ball in the glove overnight to help shape it perfectly to your hand.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 until the glove feels like a second skin.

Form the pocket by placing a ball in the glove and folding it over.

To form the pocket, place a ball in the glove and fold it over. The ball should sit comfortably in the webbing without falling out. Once you have the desired pocket shape, try closing the glove around the ball to test the fit. The glove should close easily with just a little effort. If it is difficult to close or feels too loose, try a smaller size.

Store your glove in a cool, dry place.

To keep your glove in good shape, you should store it in a cool, dry place when you’re not using it. The best way to do this is to purchase a glove box or a specialised storage bag. You can also use an old pillowcase or sock. Never store your glove in direct sunlight, as this will cause the leather to crack.
