Hey guys! Sorry I was gone for a while. I had COVID and I’ve had a lot of homework, but I’m fine now! Stay tuned for the next video, it’s going to be dope. Thanks for watching!
Not really, son got cleated in 17U tournament and never used a glove before and refused to use one and 1st time got cleared and almost broke his hand when the first baseman stepped on his hand with metal cleats. Guy was 6’7 240. My son wants one now
It looks dumb af wth are you talking about. Used more the few extra inches vs safety reasons. Baseball needs to get rid of this garbage. 100+ years of thr game and now all of a sudden players need this crap???!!!
Hey Truman I was just wondering how hard you threw when you were 11. I have been asking a few people this question just to kind of see where I'm at in pitching velocity. Thank you, have a good day!
@@sandiegopadresunofficial7601 Buddy we take are baseball serious down in Georgia. I have 3 coaches and all of them played d1 baseball and in the mlb. I’m 12 now and I throw 66. And my team only plays in PG tournaments which if your aware is the best youth baseball organization in the world.
I’ve never tried it, but I guess it would work. I do recommend getting a first base mitt though, because it does give you an advantage. A good cheaper one is the Rawlings Player Preferred, which is like $50
Can you wear the sliding mitt on either hand or do you need to purchase a specific hand also which hand do you purchase it for? I've seen a lot of people wear it on the left hand how come?
You wear it on whichever hand you use to touch the base with when you dive. You do need to pick the specific hand you want it for because of the thumb hole on the side
A base running mitt? What next? Just wear a skirt already. They look stupid. My comment isn’t directed to the creator of this vid, just the glove in general. Seem like a good kid, keep up the good work.
@@r1g_thunder-895 u can get either whichever u think is more protective. I got mine on the left hand which i think is more protective as other people say right hand is more protective. It’s pretty much personal preference I guess.
this is just a fad. Hand injuries from sliding are not common at all. also the pros using them are getting paid big bucks to wear them and make them look cool. I'd take those $50 and put it toward a better bat or glove.
What a sorry excuse to gain a few extra inches on the slide. Baseball is slowly becoming like football and basketball. 100+ years of ball and now players think a sliding mitt is needed?!?! LAME
The point isn’t to get extra inches on your slides. The point is to protect your hand from getting cleated, protect it from hard tags, and protect your fingers from getting jammed as you dive into the base. If you look at the mlb, most players use sliding mitts now because they really do work.

Maybe…
Let’s be honest, no one buys this for protection. It just looks good
Ngl I actually need one for protection 💀
no not really it sucks to get cleated you could break you finger or jam it so yes it is for protection

So true
you should use a thick sock to protect the in side of your sliding mitt
Nice I was one of the first people I knew to have a sliding mitt. It’s crazy how far you’ve come. Keep up the great work Truman!
U should make a review on an aria sliding mitt
Left hand mitt is more useful in my opinion cuz when you slide headfirst the bag is on ur left side
Hey Truman which hand do you think I should get my evoshield sliding mit don’t know if it madders how I bat or what
Whatever hand you use to dive with is what you should get. I dive with my right hand forward so I got the right hand one
@@TrumanLee97 ok thanks man
Should the sliding mitt like adjust to your hand when u first u se it like it’s bends a little in the directions of my hand?
No it’s always the same shape
Glad to see you back buddy!!
I slide back to bases with my left hand and dive into bases with my right. Which one should I get
I would say go with the left handed one because it’s more effective for diving back to bases so if you get cleated by the first baseman it won’t hurt
@@TrumanLee97 I’m kinda worried though because I throw with my right hand
Hey Truman I was just wondering how hard you threw when you were 11. I have been asking a few people this question just to kind of see where I'm at in pitching velocity. Thank you, have a good day!
When I was 11 which was a year ago I was throwing 62 mph
I probably threw like 55 or so

Hey Truman, I have a question. Can you use a 12.75 glove that’s not a first basemen model for first base. And will it work well. For baseball.

@@TrumanLee97 Ohhhh, ok. Thank you!
I will never not make fun of someone for wearing these

Do you think you should get a sliding mitt for the hand you throw with?
I’m going to get one but don’t know if I should get a right hand or left hand
Whichever hand you stick out to dive with
Ok thanks
Hey I have a question does one size fit all
Yes

Exactly agreed. This mitt is trash. An excuse to add a few inches to your slide
I just got mine :)
Nice I just got a sliding mitt as well
How do you know which hand to put it on
@@r1g_thunder-895 u can get either whichever u think is more protective. I got mine on the left hand which i think is more protective as other people say right hand is more protective. It’s pretty much personal preference I guess.
@@r1g_thunder-895 I was wondering the same thing I feel like it would make more sense on the left hand bc 2nd,3rd,and home are all on the left side
go soxs

Have the kids that buy these don't even slide they just wear them because they think it's cool
I did not see the message that you sent
