How To Break in a Baseball Glove

How to break in a baseball glove: I'll show you guys exactly how I do this myself. I love the process of breaking a glove in because you are teaching the glove what to do. Slowly but surely the leather will gain a memory. So don't teach your glove to do the wrong thing!
I prefer using the hot water treatment on my glove. The biggest thing to watch out for is making sure you don't smear any colors on the glove! Usually the only colors that can ever bleed into the leather is blue and red and usually the only spots on the glove you need to worry about are the laces. If you guys have any more questions about breaking your glove in just comment and I'll help you out!

I do hot water first, do my stretching next, I use a mallett to beat a deep pocket in, I shape my glove just like you, beat the same hinge points, I also like the heel stiff, and I beat the hinge points again once dry. The rest is played in. Great video man.

How do you put the dent where your Pinter finger is?

44 has a video on breaking ball gloves with heavily died leather and its basically just a lot more of everything you did but without hot water treatment (its what i did and it does take a lot longer)

I like the hat you’re wearing at the table. Great video as always, I’d let you break in my glove any time.

I don't usually do the water softening trick unless I need to use a glove within a few days. If I do, I dry the glove in a closed position with a ball in the pocket. Tie it closed or stuff it in between the dash/window of my car. Pull it out in 24 hrs and play an hour of catch, glove will feel delightful and genuinely game ready. (unless a catchers mit.... in this case another 10 years of catch should be good to go;)

For palms that are too thin and you can’t get rid of hand sting, here’s what I’ve been doing since 1989.
Get a piece of Velcro, the furry side. Not the hard plastic side.
Cut a piece where the sting is and stick it in there. It’s a soft pad that works, costs almost nothing and will last as long as the glove does.

You won’t notice the weight or even that it’s there if it’s in the right spot.

I was having trouble getting my son's gloves broken in enough that he could manage them (he's small with weak hands) so I got desperate and put them in the dryer with some wet clothes, and played catch immediately after taking them out of the dryer. Not sure I would do it on my own glove, but not sure I wouldn't, but it worked well on his (Rawlings R9 and Akadema AZR95).

I am getting a 44 and I'm very excited

[williamgilbert]

That is an awesome green white Sox hat. I want it.

Hey man! Love your vids, I’m really struggling to get my 44 pro stiff first base mitt’s pocket soft enough. I’ve watched this and your other vid of the 44. I’ve got blonde leather and green laces so I’d rather not hit water it haha.

I just always broke in gloves using them. Always worked well for me.

Thank you so much for this video! My sister got a new softball mit over the off-season, and no matter what she did, it wouldn't break in. so, right B4 her first practice, she tasks me to break it in for her. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful, so my sister had to use her old mit. A week or two ago, my sister said that she'd pay me $50 if I could break in the mit by the end of April, so she could use it for the last month of games in May. After watching this video, I broke in the mit, and I am $50 more rich. Pro tip for those who have coloured laces, instead of using the hot water treatment, put 2-4 kilograms of weight on the mit and leave it overnight (6-8 hours). After that, the mit will close like my dad's high school first baseman mit. ( When you normally set it down, it flops close) I will say my experience with the 2-4kg on the mit: if you want every single part of the mit lose, use it. The reason I had to do this is because my sister got a blonde mit with orange laces. I didn't want to get the blonde, almost white mit stained with orange on the fingers. For anyone who's wondering, black and orange are my schools colours, thus the orange laces.
