Frequently Asked Questions What size catcher's mitt is used in fastpitch softball? Fastpitch catcher's mitts are measured by circumference. The Marucci Ascension 240C2 is 34", which is a standard fastpitch catcher's mitt size. Most competitive fastpitch catchers use mitts in the 33"–34.5" range. The 34" size provides a balanced combination of pocket size and maneuverability behind the plate. How is a catcher's mitt different from a regular softball glove? Catcher's mitts have no individual finger stalls like a fielder's glove. Instead, the hand inserts into a unified pocket with a single thumb stall. This construction allows the catcher to properly frame pitches, block balls in the dirt, and absorb the repeated impact of high-velocity pitching—something a regular glove cannot safely handle over a full season. How do I break in a fastpitch catcher's mitt? Apply a quality leather conditioner to all surfaces of the mitt, paying special attention to the pocket and hinge. Close the mitt around a softball and secure it with a rubber band or in a glove wrap overnight. Have a pitcher throw full-speed into the glove from the first session—catching pitches is the most effective break-in method for catchers. Repeat for several days for a fully formed pocket. Is the MFGASFP240C2 only available in right-hand throw? Yes, the Marucci Ascension 240C2 catcher's mitt is available in right-hand throw only. The vast majority of catchers are right-handed throwers, which is why most catcher's mitts are produced in RHT only.
