About the Markwort 33.5 Inch Catcher's Mitt - Camel/Brown, Right-Hand Throw
The Markwort 33.5 inch Catcher's Mitt in camel and brown is a leather baseball catcher's mitt built on a 33 pattern with a 2-piece pocket. It is a right-hand throw mitt, which means it is worn on the left hand by a catcher who throws right-handed. Chrome tanned select leather gives it a softer feel out of the box than stiff, untreated leather, and the camel and brown colorway stands out from the usual all-black or tan mitt.
A 2-Piece Pocket That Closes Around the Ball
A catcher's mitt has to stop a fastball and hold it, then let the catcher get the ball out fast on a steal attempt. The 2-piece pocket gives the mitt a defined center to receive the baseball, and the 33.5 inch size is a common catcher's mitt size that balances a big target with control. As the leather breaks in, the pocket deepens and the mitt starts to close more easily.
Breaking In the Markwort Catcher's Mitt
Every catcher's mitt needs work before it feels right in a game. Play catch with it as often as possible, and work the pocket by hand or with a ball between sessions. A light leather conditioner such as Valle Glove Conditioner keeps the leather supple. Skip ovens, microwaves and soaking, which dry leather out and can crack the laces.
