With the large number of baseball gloves on the market, how is a baseball player to know which gloves are the best? There are many different factors that go into deciding which glove is high quality and which is not necessarily a well made glove, including manufacturer, glove type, leather quality, lacing and more.

Here are the 10 Best Adult Baseball Mitts:

  1. Rawlings Pro Preferred - Made from the best leather available, the Rawlings Pro Preferred line of gloves is used by many players throughout Major League Baseball. With a stylish two-tone design, the mitts look stylish and are just as practical.
  2. Rawlings Primo Series - Designed for professional use, the Primo Series from Rawlings is made with two layers of Italian leather, creating a pocket built for defense at every position on the diamond. 
  3. Wilson A2K - Used by many Major Leaguers, Wilson's A2K line of gloves is extremely popular. Wilson A2K gloves are used with high-quality leather and Wilson's patented dual finger design for impressive feel inside the pocket.
  4. Nike Pro Gold - A relative newcomer to the baseball mitt market, Nike gloves have grown in popularity quickly. Nike's Pro Gold gloves feature patented Dri-Fit technology and come game ready from the manufacturer.
  5. Akadema Reptilian - Since 1997, Akadema has produced high-quality baseball gloves for professional, collegiate, high school and amateur players.
