Right Hand Throw Only 11.25" pattern two-tone, I-web, open back with index finger pad, and medium pocket was designed for the professional shortstop or second baseman. New to the Akadema Professional Series line, the 11.25" AJN-15 was born from the overwhelming demand for a smaller pattern I-web, which is incredibly popular among professional middle infielders for it's ability to control ball spin. An index finger pad was added for an extra layer of protection to compliment the AJN-15's Reinforced Pocket Design and Straight-Lace Finger Design, features that have come to define Akadema's Professional Series. Hand-crafted with select U.S. Steerhide and Akadema ¼" Rawhide apache tan lacing. At Akadema® Professional, we have not only designed a glove line with a professional and collegian player in mind, but also players of all ages and abilities. Each glove is tailor-made for selected positions with the sole purpose of raising a player's performance on the field. 1. Akadema uses only the top USA Steerhide for its Professional Series Gloves. The Professional Glove series uses US Steerhide on the glove shell, palm lining, finger lining, and binding. Akadema uses the leather from the back and shoulder area for a strong thick glove. 2. The Professional Series uses the top ¼" USA rawhide for its laces. Stronger sewing and welting techniques have strengthened the Akadema glove. 3. Infield and outfield gloves have "laced through fingers." This lacing procedure makes the glove easier for a player to tighten and maintain. 4. Using a method started by Major League equipment managers, all open web infield gloves have reinforced lacing to strengthen the shell and pocket for less tearing in the pocket and a stronger overall glove. 5. Akadema does not use pre oiled /conditioned leather in its Pro Series infield, pitching and outfield making the glove lighter and stronger for professional use. Available for Left Hand (Right Hand Thrower) Only.
