The Marucci Ascension 39S2 at 13\" is on the larger end, giving first basemen maximum catching surface and reach. This is particularly valuable for stretching to catch throws in the dirt or off-target throws from infielders.\n\nCan I use a regular outfield glove at first base in fastpitch?\n\nWhile it's allowed in recreational leagues, a purpose-built first base mitt like the Ascension 39S2 provides significant advantages. First base mitts have a specialized curved pocket designed specifically for scooping short hops and securing thrown balls. For competitive fastpitch play, a dedicated first base mitt is strongly recommended.\n\nIs the MFGASFP39S2 available for left-handed first basemen?\n\nYes! The Marucci Ascension 39S2 is available in both right-hand throw (RHT) and left-hand throw (LHT). Left-handed first basemen are common and this mitt accommodates both orientations. Make sure to select your throwing hand during checkout.\n\nHow long does it take to break in a first base mitt?\n\nFirst base mitts, especially premium steerhide models, require some break-in time. Apply glove conditioner to the pocket and exterior leather, then close the mitt around a softball and secure it overnight. Work the hinge daily through catching practice. Most players find their mitt game-ready within 2–4 weeks of regular use.\n\nDoes Smash It Sports offer team or bulk pricing on Marucci gloves?\n\nYes! We offer team and bulk pricing for leagues, schools, and organizations. Contact our team sales department to discuss equipment packages for your program. We also offer custom uniform design and full team equipment packages.","brand":"Sports Performance Park","offers":[{"title":"Right Hand Throwers (RHT) \/ 13\"","offer_id":58562174746998,"sku":"MFGASFP39S2-CM\/PR-R","price":94.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6640\/0374\/files\/MFGASFP39S2-CM-PR-R_D.jpg?v=1787963236","url":"https:\/\/sportsperformancepark.shop\/products\/marucci-ascension-m-type-series-39s2-13-fastpitch-softball-first-base-mitt-glove","provider":"Sports Performance Park","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
