It was the first universal-fit pancake trainer, and it does what a pancake is supposed to do with no compromises: there is no pocket, so a ground ball fielded with one hand has nowhere to go. Every rep has to be met out front and covered with the throwing hand. Because one Switch serves right-hand and left-hand throwers, it is the trainer a coach can hand down a line of infielders, and the one a family with a lefty and a righty only needs to buy once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNo Pocket, No Excuses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pancake trainer works by removing the help a glove normally gives. With a flat leather face and no pocket, the Switch cannot catch a ball on its own; the fielder has to get the glove to the ball, stop it, and secure it with the bare hand in one motion. Stiff hands, a late throwing hand or a one-handed stab all show up immediately as a ball rolling away. That instant, unmistakable feedback is why pancake gloves are used at every level of the game for soft-hands work, and why a few minutes with the Switch before practice makes a gamer feel enormous afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Glove for Every Thrower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost flat trainers are built for one hand. The Switch is symmetrical, so a right-hand thrower wears it on the left hand and a left-hand thrower wears it on the right, and both get the same flat face. For a team that means one bag of trainers covers the whole infield regardless of who is throwing, and for a coach it means no sorting gloves by hand at the start of a drill. The Switch is quality leather in the Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery, and it is thin enough to live in a bag as a portable infield session for pre-game work in a cramped tournament warm-up area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Baseball Training Glove Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Switch is for any infielder, catcher or pitcher who needs to build or rebuild two-hand fundamentals, from tee ball players through professionals, and it is the simplest starting point in the Valle line. It is also the answer for coaches, academies and teams that need a trainer for mixed groups of righties and lefties. Players who want the two-hand lesson with a more glove-like feel should look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-kk-infield-trainer-glove\"\u003eEagle KK\u003c\/a\u003e, a four-finger flat trainer, or the ambidextrous \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-kks-ambidextrous-infield-training-glove\"\u003eEagle KKS\u003c\/a\u003e, which combines the Switch's flat palm with the KK's finger stalls. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-halo-baseball-training-glove\"\u003eEagle Halo\u003c\/a\u003e is a modified pancake with a contoured catch point for players who want feedback on exactly where the ball hit the glove. Softball players use the Switch the same way baseball players do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use the Eagle Switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the drills short and the reps clean. Start with rolled ground balls from 15 to 20 feet: field out front, stop the ball with the flat face, cover with the throwing hand, transfer. Add forehand and backhand angles, shuffle-and-throw, and short hops fed by hand. Kneeling drills work especially well with the Switch because they isolate the hands from the feet. Double-play feeds and tap drills around the bag build the quick glove-to-hand exchange. Catchers use it for receiving and blocking hand-position work, and pitchers for comebacker reps. Ten minutes with the Switch, then put the game glove on; the difference is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePancake Trainers vs. Pocket Trainers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two families of training gloves and they teach different things. Pancake and flat trainers like the Switch remove the pocket entirely, so the only lesson is two hands and soft hands; there is nothing to catch with, only something to stop the ball against. Undersized pocket trainers like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-k47-infield-training-glove\"\u003eEagle K47\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-8-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 8S\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-975s-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 975S\u003c\/a\u003e keep a pocket but shrink it, so the lesson becomes catching the ball in exactly the right spot and transferring it quickly. Most players benefit from both, in that order: the Switch to make two-hand fielding automatic, then a pocket trainer to sharpen where the ball is caught. Coaches who can only carry one trainer for a whole team usually pick the Switch, because it fits everyone and never lets a lazy rep slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle Switch Ambidextrous Pancake Training Glove Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: flat pancake training glove for baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle S-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket: none; flat face with no web\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit: ambidextrous; one glove fits right-hand and left-hand throwers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: quality leather construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositions: catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base and pitcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 4 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle Switch pancake training glove.

A symmetrical flat trainer lets a coach run one drill line with one set of gloves, and lets a lefty and a righty in the same family share one Switch. It is the only pancake built that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo flat gloves teach bad habits?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot when they are used as trainers rather than gamers. A pancake exaggerates the two-hand fundamentals so they become automatic; you then take those fundamentals back to a glove with a pocket. Use it for drill work in short sessions, not for live play, and it builds habits rather than breaking them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSwitch or KK for a young player?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Switch is the purest two-hand lesson and works from tee ball up.

A game first base mitt runs 12.5 to 13 inches with a pocket deep enough to hide a bad pick; the 11S takes away that margin. Every throw in the dirt, every stretch and every tag has to be received in the center of the pocket with the mitt in the right position, which is exactly what a first baseman needs to practice. It is the mitt youth, high school, college and professional first basemen train with, and it doubles as a game mitt for young players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Mitt That Makes First Basemen Earn Every Pick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst base is where errant throws get saved or become errors in a baseball game. The skill is receiving: getting to the bag, presenting the mitt, and picking a short hop cleanly without stabbing. A full-size mitt is forgiving enough that lazy picks still look fine in practice. The 11S is not. With two inches less mitt and a shallower pocket, a short hop picked late or off-center kicks out, and the fielder knows immediately. Repeat that a few hundred times and the mechanics of the pick, the scoop and the tag become automatic, so the game mitt feels enormous when it goes back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt Like a Game Mitt, Sized Like a Trainer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11S is a real first base mitt in every way but size. The shell is Japanese steerhide with the lacing quality used on Valle's game gloves, the web is a single post with double bars that flexes for scoops while keeping its shape, and the palm is padded for throws with pace. The strap wrist back cinches the mitt to the hand so it stays put through a full stretch, and it opens enough to fit an adult. The mitt is Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidered on the shell, and it is stocked for right-hand and left-hand throwers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Baseball Training Mitt Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11S is for first basemen at every level who want to train receiving: youth players learning to stretch and pick, high school and college first basemen sharpening their footwork around the bag, and professionals keeping the skill honest in pregame work. For a young first baseman, the 11 inch pattern is also a workable game mitt that the player will not outgrow for years. Softball first basemen use it the same way. Players who want the same mitt in Kip leather should look at the Eagle Pro 11, and a weighted Pro version is made for glove-hand strength. Infielders should look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-975s-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 975S\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-8-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 8S\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use the Eagle 11S\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart at the bag with baseballs thrown by a coach from 40 to 60 feet: catch every throw in the center of the pocket with the mitt presented early and the throwing hand covering the ball. Move to short hops, first rolled and then thrown into the dirt at different distances from the mitt, working the pick from both sides. Add stretch-and-pick reps with the foot on the bag, tag plays with the runner coming, and 3-6-3 double-play footwork. Coaches feeding a first baseman in the 11S can see a bad pick instantly because the ball does not stay in. Finish every session with a few rounds in the game mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the 11S Fits the Eagle Training Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Valle trainer shrinks one part of the fielding job.

The 11S is the first-base piece of that system. It keeps the shape and single-post web a first baseman needs for scoops and stretches, and shrinks everything else. A first baseman who also plays the infield will often pair the 11S with a 975S, using the mitt for work at the bag and the glove for ground-ball rounds. Coaches equipping a baseball program usually buy one 11S per first baseman rather than sharing, because the strap fit and the pocket both break in to the player who uses it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle 11S First Base Training Mitt Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: undersized first base training mitt for baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle S-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 11 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb: single post with double bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: Japanese steerhide shell with USA-tanned leather lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist back: adjustable strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: first base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing hand: available for right-hand throwers (mitt worn on the left hand) and left-hand throwers (mitt worn on the right hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 14 and up as a trainer; usable as a game mitt for younger players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle 11S first base training mitt in the throwing hand you select.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan a youth first baseman use the 11S as a game glove?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Where a pancake trainer holds the fingers stiff and straight, the KK gives each finger its own stall and lets the hand stay relaxed and slightly bent, the way it sits in a broken-in game glove. The palm is essentially flat with only a hint of a pocket, so a ground ball has to be met out front and secured with the throwing hand. It is the trainer coaches reach for first, from tee ball through college and pro player development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlat Where It Counts, Flexible Everywhere Else\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of a flat baseball trainer is simple: with no pocket to trap the ball, the fielder must use two hands. The problem with most flat trainers is what they do to the hand. A rigid pancake locks the fingers straight, which makes players tense and teaches a stiff, stabbing approach to the ball. The KK solves that by keeping the flat palm and giving up the rigidity. Its four finger stalls flex individually, the leather is soft enough to squeeze, and the overall feel is closer to catching the ball with a bare hand that happens to be padded. Players stay loose, field with soft hands, and still cannot cheat with one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll-Leather Construction Built to Last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KK is all leather, with a soft palm and enough padding to take a firmly hit ground ball without sting. Like the rest of the Eagle line it is white, with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidered on the shell, and it is stocked for both right-hand and left-hand throwers. The wrist back uses an adjustable strap so the same glove fits a small hand or an adult one; players who prefer an open wrist back should look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-kk-p-infield-training-glove\"\u003eEagle KK-P\u003c\/a\u003e, which is the same glove with that change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Baseball Training Glove Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KK is the entry point to the Valle training system and the glove most players should own first. It is used from tee ball up, and it is the trainer of choice for young infielders learning to field with two hands, for middle infielders working on quick transfers and double-play feeds, and for coaches who want a drill glove that feels natural enough that players will actually use it. Because the fingers move freely, it also suits older players who found a rigid pancake uncomfortable. Once two-hand fielding is automatic, the natural next step is a trainer with a small pocket: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-k47-infield-training-glove\"\u003eEagle K47\u003c\/a\u003e keeps the KK's four-finger feel and adds one.

Add forehand and backhand angles, then shuffle-and-throw drills, then short hops. Double-play feeds are where the KK shines, since the flat palm makes the glove-to-hand exchange as fast as it can be. Slow-roller and barehand drills fit naturally because the KK already feels close to a bare hand. Use the KK for the first part of every defensive session, then finish with the game glove; the difference in how big the gamer feels afterward is the sign the drill worked. Softball infielders use the KK the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for a Leather Training Glove\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KK asks very little. Because it is meant to stay flexible, do not oil it heavily or try to shape a pocket into it; a light conditioner once or twice a season keeps the leather from drying out, and that is all it needs. Let it air dry if it gets wet, never in a hot car or a dryer, and store it flat rather than folded. Wipe the white leather with a damp cloth to keep it recognizable in the bag. Treated this way a KK lasts for seasons of daily use, which is one reason academies and teams buy them by the dozen. If the palm ever feels too soft for a player who has grown into hard fungoes, that is the sign to move up to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-k47-infield-training-glove\"\u003eEagle K47\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-8-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 8S\u003c\/a\u003e, not to stiffen the KK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle KK 4-Finger Infield Training Glove Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: four-finger flat training glove for baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle S-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket: flat palm with a minimal pocket; no web\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: four individual finger stalls, flexible leather shell, soft padded palm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: all-leather construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist back: adjustable strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositions: first base, second base, shortstop, third base and pitcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing hand: available for right-hand throwers (glove worn on the left hand) and left-hand throwers (glove worn on the right hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 4 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle KK training glove in the throwing hand you select.

It has the same undersized pocket as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-975s-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 975S\u003c\/a\u003e, small enough that every ground ball and every throw has to be caught in the center of the glove, but the Kip shell makes it lighter, quicker to break in and closer in feel to a professional game glove. Infielders, outfielders and pitchers from high school through the professional level use the Pro 975 as their everyday trainer and play catch with it year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKip Leather and an Open Back: the Pro Difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 975 and the 975S share a pattern, a web and a pocket. Two things separate them. The Pro 975 is Japanese Kip leather, which is lighter and tighter-grained than steerhide, breaks in faster and gives the glove the feel of a pro-level gamer. And it uses an open wrist back instead of an adjustable strap, so nothing cinches the wrist and the hand moves the way it does in a game glove. Players who want their trainer to feel exactly like the glove they play in choose the Pro; players who want a strap for a smaller hand or a shared team glove choose the 975S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Trainer You Can Play Catch With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 975 is the one Valle glove serious baseball players keep out of the bag. Its pocket is deep enough to catch a thrown ball and take fly balls, so a round of catch becomes 75 to 100 reps of receiving in the center of the glove and transferring cleanly, without changing the fielding motion at all. The glove just leaves less room for error than an 11.5 or 11.75 inch gamer. Leather welting, USA-tanned leather lacing, added palm padding, cushioned thumb support and double index finger pads (over the index and middle fingers, for players who wear two fingers in the pinky stall) round out the construction, and the shell carries \"Train Like A Pro\" in red embroidery on Valle white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Baseball Training Glove Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 975 is for the infielder, outfielder or pitcher who wants one training glove for everything and wants it to feel like a pro gamer: high school, college and professional players, and any serious travel-ball infielder. Middle infielders use it for double-play feeds and short hops, third basemen for backhands, outfielders for drop-step and crow-hop work, and pitchers for PFP. Fastpitch softball infielders use it as well.

Move to rolled and then fungoed ground balls, working forehand, backhand and short hops, then double-play feeds or, for outfielders, fly balls with a crow-hop transfer. Pitchers take comebackers with it at full speed. Coaches running pre-game infield keep players in the Pro 975 until the last round and then switch to gamers. Ten focused minutes a day builds the clean-catch habit that a big gamer pocket hides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for a Kip Leather Trainer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKip leather is the reason the Pro 975 breaks in fast, and it is also the reason to go easy on it. Play catch with a baseball to form the pocket; skip the steam, the oven and the heavy oil, all of which loosen Kip more than steerhide and shorten the life of a glove that is supposed to stay small and firm. A light conditioner once or twice a season keeps the leather supple, a ball in the pocket between sessions keeps the shape, and air drying after a wet practice keeps the lacing from stretching. Wipe the white shell with a damp cloth to keep it looking like a Valle. Players who train every day with the Pro 975 should expect the pocket to settle within a couple of weeks and then hold for seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle Pro 975 Infield Training Glove Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: undersized utility training glove for baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle Pro Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 9.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: Japanese Kip leather shell with leather welting; USA-tanned leather lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb: I-web with double lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadding: added palm padding, cushioned thumb support, double index finger pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist back: open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositions: second base, shortstop, third base, pitcher and outfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing hand: available for right-hand throwers (glove worn on the left hand) and left-hand throwers (glove worn on the right hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with red \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 14 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle Pro 975 training glove in the throwing hand you select.

That is the training effect. A game glove hides a stab or a one-handed snag; the 8S exposes it immediately, so every rep either confirms good mechanics or shows the fielder exactly what went wrong. Players who spend their pre-practice minutes with the 8S get to the ball with their feet, field it out front with two hands, and transfer faster, because the glove has made every other approach fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft Feel, Real Glove Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8S is built like a gamer, only smaller. Finger pads sit over the index and middle fingers, the thumb loop is cushioned, and the heel uses Valle's custom design for better feel on the ball. The leather is soft from day one, which is why players who like a broken-in feel choose the 8S over a stiffer trainer. Each finger has its own stall, so the hand stays relaxed and slightly bent as it would in a game glove rather than locked flat.

Begin with rolled ground balls at short range, fielding each one in the middle of the glove and finishing with a full transfer to the throwing hand. Add forehand and backhand angles, then short hops, then live fungos. Double-play feeds are where the 8S earns its keep: the small pocket forces the fielder to receive and release in one motion instead of cradling the ball. Pitchers use it for comebacker drills and PFP work. When the session moves to live reps or a game, switch back to the gamer; the 8S is a teaching glove, not a game glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the 8S Fits in the Eagle Training Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValle builds its infield trainers as a progression, and the 8S sits in the middle of it.

It is the outfielder's version of the Valle idea: a glove that looks and feels like a real gamer but is two inches shorter than the smallest outfield glove a player would take into a game, so a fly ball or line drive has to be caught in the center of the pocket and moved to the throwing hand in one motion. Outfielders from about age 14 through the professional level use it for pregame flies, crow-hop transfer work and drop-step drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Outfielders Train with a Smaller Glove\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutfielders drop more balls in the transfer than in the catch. A 12.75 inch gamer with a deep trapeze pocket lets a fielder catch lazily and dig for the ball afterward; the 1050S does not. Its 10.5 inch pattern and shallower pocket mean a ball caught off-center or with a soft glove hand pops out, and a ball caught cleanly is already close to the throwing hand. Over a few hundred fly balls that turns into a faster, more consistent catch-and-throw, which is the play that keeps runners from taking the extra base. The glove is not for games; it is the pregame and practice tool that makes the gamer feel effortless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrapeze Web with Pro-Style Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trapeze web is the classic outfield web, open and flexible enough to see through and to wrap a ball on the run, and the 1050S keeps it at training size. The shell is Japanese steerhide with leather welting and USA-tanned leather lacing, the palm carries extra padding and the thumb has added cushion support, so the glove takes hard fungoes and machine-fed fly balls without sting. Two index finger pads, one over the index finger and one over the middle finger, mean the pad is in the right place whether the player wears one finger per stall or two fingers in the pinky stall, and the pinky stall has extra room for that grip. Like every Eagle glove it is Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidered in red on the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrap Wrist Back for a Locked-In Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn adjustable strap wrist back cinches the 1050S to the hand, which matters more on an outfield glove than on any other: a trainer that shifts on the hand during a full-speed crow hop turns a clean rep into a fumbled one. The strap also lets one glove fit a high school player and an adult, so a team can keep a few in the bag for outfield rounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Baseball Training Glove Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1050S is for outfielders who already catch the ball and want to catch it better, from high school and travel ball through college and professional programs. Softball outfielders use it too; the trapeze pocket handles a 12 inch ball. It also works for utility players who want one trainer for fly balls and line drives. Infielders should look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-975s-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 975S\u003c\/a\u003e, which uses the same construction in a 9.75 inch I-web pattern, or the smaller \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-8-training-glove\"\u003eEagle 8S\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-k47-infield-training-glove\"\u003eEagle K47\u003c\/a\u003e.

Add drop-step and over-the-shoulder work, line drives off a bat, and do-or-die charging drills where the transfer speed is the whole point. Machine-fed fly balls work well because the pace is repeatable. Coaches run outfield rounds in the 1050S until the last round, then switch players to their gamers so the difference is obvious. Ten to fifteen minutes a day is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for a Steerhide Training Glove\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA steerhide trainer holds its shape for seasons if it is treated like a game glove. Play catch with it before the first fungo round so the pocket forms naturally around a baseball; there is no need for steaming, oiling or a mallet, and heavy conditioner only softens a glove that is meant to stay firm. Let it air dry after a wet practice, never in a hot car or a dryer, and store it with a ball in the pocket rather than flat. A light wipe with a damp cloth keeps the white leather recognizable in a bag full of tan gamers. Outfielders who train with the 1050S every day should expect the pocket to settle in over a few weeks and then stay put, which is exactly what a trainer should do: the glove stays small and honest while the gamer does the forgiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle 1050S Outfield Training Glove Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: undersized outfield training glove for baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle S-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 10.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb: trapeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: Japanese steerhide shell with leather welting; USA-tanned leather lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadding: added palm padding, cushioned thumb support, double index finger pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist back: adjustable strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: outfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing hand: available for right-hand throwers (glove worn on the left hand) and left-hand throwers (glove worn on the right hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with red \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 14 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle 1050S outfield training glove in the throwing hand you select.

It is the best-selling catcher's trainer in the Valle line because it sits in the sweet spot: small enough that a pitch has to be received in the right part of the pocket to stick, but large enough to feel like a real mitt in the hand. Catchers from youth through the professional ranks use the 27S in warm-ups and practice to build proper receiving habits, quicker transfers and better focus on every pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Small Pocket That Reinforces Good Habits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame mitts are 32 to 34 inches around and forgiving by design. The 27S takes five to seven inches off that and shrinks the pocket, so a pitch caught in the heel, in the web or with a late glove hand kicks out instead of sticking. A catcher gets that feedback on every pitch of a receiving round without a coach having to watch the mitt, and over a few sessions the hands get earlier and quieter, which is what turns borderline pitches into strikes. Because the ball sits closer to the throwing hand in a small mitt, the transfer on throw-downs speeds up as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGame-Mitt Construction at Training Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 27S is built to take real pitching: a Japanese steerhide shell, major-league-quality USA-tanned lacing, additional palm padding, and a design and shape refined from feedback from professional catchers. The two-piece closed web keeps the pocket shallow and the mitt stiff enough to hold its shape through a season of bullpens. The strap wrist back adjusts to fit a youth hand or an adult and keeps the mitt from turning on a pitch caught off the corner.

Start with short-range throws from a coach, catching each pitch in the center of the pocket with the mitt beating the ball to the spot and the throwing hand coming to the mitt. Add framing rounds on the corners and at the knees, then live arms or machine pitching at increasing velocity. Throw-down drills from the knees and the feet make use of the faster transfer, and blocking rounds with the 27S keep the hands quiet. Finish with a few rounds in the game mitt so the catcher feels how much easier it has become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for a Catcher's Training Mitt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 27S is built to be used hard and it needs very little care to last. Break it in by receiving with it: a few rounds of throws and a bullpen or two will shape the pocket around a baseball far better than steaming or oiling, both of which soften leather that is supposed to stay firm. Keep a ball in the pocket between sessions, let the mitt air dry after a wet practice rather than leaving it in a hot bag, and wipe the white leather with a damp cloth when the dirt builds up. A light conditioner once or twice a season is enough. If the palm starts to feel thin after a season of machine work, the Eagle G-Pad restores the protection without changing the pocket. Treated this way a 27S goes through several seasons of daily receiving rounds, which is why high school and college programs keep a set of them for the whole catching staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle 27S Catcher's Training Mitt Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: undersized catcher's training mitt for baseball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle S-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 27 inch circumference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb: two-piece closed web\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: Japanese steerhide shell with USA-tanned leather lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadding: additional palm padding; compatible with the Eagle G-Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist back: adjustable strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: catcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing hand: right-hand throwers (mitt worn on the left hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 12 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle 27S catcher's training mitt.

It is the smallest mitt in the Valle catching line and the most demanding; catchers who want a slightly larger pocket, or a first trainer that feels closer to a game mitt, should start with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-27-catchers-training-mitt\"\u003eEagle 27S\u003c\/a\u003e, a 27 inch trainer, and the 27 inch half-web and weighted versions build on that. Softball catchers have the 28 inch T28S. The T25 is made for right-hand throwers only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use the Eagle T25\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin with bare-hand and then T25 receiving of baseballs from a coach at short range: beat the ball to the spot, catch it in the center of the pocket, stick it, and bring the throwing hand to the mitt. Move to framing rounds on the corners, low pitches received with the mitt working up, and then machine-fed pitches at increasing velocity. Throw-down work with the T25 sharpens the transfer because the ball is already close to the hand. Blocking drills work too, since the small mitt keeps the hands quiet. Use the T25 for the first part of every catching session and finish with the game mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing a Catcher's Training Mitt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatcher's mitts are measured around the circumference, not by finger length, which is why the numbers look large. A youth game mitt runs about 31 to 32 inches, an adult game mitt 32.5 to 34. Valle's trainers step down from there: the 32 inch models are the closest to game size, the 27 inch mitts are the everyday trainer for most baseball catchers, and the T25 at 25 inches is the smallest of the line. The rule for choosing is simple. A catcher who is new to training mitts, or under about 12, starts at 27 inches and moves down when clean receiving becomes automatic. A catcher who already frames well and wants the hardest possible receiving drill goes straight to the T25. The smaller the mitt, the more precise the catch has to be, and the more the game mitt feels like a net when it goes back on. Whatever the size, a training mitt is for warm-ups, receiving rounds and drill work; games and full bullpens belong to the game mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle T25 Catcher's Training Mitt Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: undersized catcher's training mitt for baseball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Valle Eagle S-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 25 inch circumference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb: two-piece closed web\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather: Japanese steerhide shell with USA-tanned leather lacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadding: additional palm padding; compatible with the Eagle G-Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist back: adjustable strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: catcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing hand: right-hand throwers (mitt worn on the left hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Valle white with \"Train Like A Pro\" embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 10 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Valle Eagle T25 catcher's training mitt.
