Maybe I missed it but did you do a video dedicated to outfield gloves? How should an outfield glove hinge/close compared to the way you do your infield gloves? Have a new A2K MB model and been breaking it in for my 14u kid. Thanks.
I work at a Dick’s sporting goods where we do glove steamings and I run the team sports department and I totally have seen what you talked about where people doing the break in don’t really know much about how to do so. Now that I took over the department I do most if not all of them when I’m there and I really make sure that everyone that does them when I’m not has knowledge of what they are doing to the glove and why to ensure a proper break in but I know that not all locations do this. I wish the company cared more about quality than quantity when it comes to breaking in gloves and everyone could get proper training.
Hey I have been watching your video. Have you try the Japanese Wilson staff glove? I would love to see you make a video explaining the difference with a2k
I’ve done the microwave process numerous time. I use hot water over the entire glove and then put in the microwave for 1 minute. Take it out and beat it. All my gloves are good to go.
hahha...when you guys say "unreal" repeatedly it so reminded me of that Jaxton gloves kid who says it every other word...dont forget..."soo insane"....
The microwave will work with foam shaving cream and you have to put it in a plastic bag not by itself. You're not trying to dry the leather out. You want it to have moisture? If you're going to do this video correct learn the correct way to do it
You guys have great stuff! Now… convince your old man to get on this platform with some of his cooking prowess. First episode I wanna see his pizza and those famous cinabon rolls!!! Keep up the great work. TM
Hand held steamer is where it's at not a whole steamer focus right on the spots breakin etc to firm it the way you want I swear won't have same issue as a full enclosed steamer
What’s the difference between rolling the heel portion like you did on your glove and the wrap? Won’t rolling the heel back and forth collapse the heel instead of keeping it stiff for 2 hinges? Need to get my glove broken in and worried about messing up the 2 hinges points. Btw love the content!!
@stratmaster8 Don't be afraid to roll the heel, it will not ruin your hinge points. Just don't keep doing it constantly forever. I roll my heel about a dozen times for about 10-20 seconds each time when I break in a glove. All that does is loosen the fibers in the leather slightly. When you wrap a glove, it keeps the heel in that awkward position for hours. Big difference.
When you are rolling you are in control so you would have to roll for a few hours straight to really mess it up. When you wrap it you don’t get to choose where those hinges are so it often has an odd form
@@jonnyt16yeah when I wrap a glove with a ball in the pocket, I also place a ball typically a tennis ball or something slightly smaller right in the heel area almost snow cone effect to keep that heel spread wide. Keeps that box look in the heel
I will invert my glove a few times for about 5 minutes each time right at the beginning of a new glove break in. This does not ruin your glove or affect its shape in any way. It's a great way to loosen the fibers in the leather a little bit. And if Shigeaki Aso does it then you know it's legit and won't hurt your glove.
@@jonnyt16 nice yeah he said it was a quick way to loosen it up, his preferred break in is similar to the BGK break in if not identical. I wish Aso could break a a2k in for me, it will be my make a wish choice if i ever get cancer lol
Hey ball glove king I recently got a A2000 1787 glove for 3rd base and a a2000 1799 for outfield. How do I get a thumb to pinky close on my outfield glove. I already wear 2 in the pinky for both but it wants to close thumb to ring finger. Any tips?
You thought the guy knew what he was doing on the phone call cuz he asked how old the kid was, then you get a single hinge and dude didn’t ask any other questions….
A hoh will give you a softer and thicker feel while a2000s are very hard but thinner. Hoh feels better in my opinion and tends to last longer but I think a2000s are better when they are perfect stiffness. Once the a2000 starts to get soft it happens really fast in my experience
Rolling on 2 years with a Nokona for my son. Also 9 years old, all star team. Their first base mitt changed his game big time. He also has a Rawlings but could never close it properly.
This was so painful yet so entertaining to watch lol
I understand I understand
16:54 the Chip Diamond reference was great
your videos just helped my break in my new Rawlings to perfection in only 2 days!
Let’s gooo, love to hear it!!
It hurts so bad watching you microwave those gloves when i cant even buy one🤣
Just crushin the break in guy 😂😂
Yeah I didn’t mean to roast him lol, just trying to help you guys!!!

i’ve been to that training facility, super nice
It’s the best!
Another great video dude! You should do another channel with vlogs.
Not a bad idea 🤔
My kid got Junk Ball this past summer and I’ll be honest, it is one of the hardest forms of wiffleball I’ve ever played lol
Lol love it!
You need to get him a blitz ball your mind will explode
Underrated fr
🙏 my guy
You can put a mallet in the heel when wrapping it to help it retain its stability.
Do a Fernando Tatís Junior glove

your glove burned in the microwave because microwaves have hot spots and your microwave doesn't have a turntable to rotate inside.
Your wife is a W for letting you do that in your microwave
“There’s a squirrel on my chair.”
That’s nuts
Hey I have been watching your video. Have you try the Japanese Wilson staff glove? I would love to see you make a video explaining the difference with a2k
Can’t believe you have never done a under armor flawless
I love tbe microwave method. So fast.
Can you retrain the leather on the glove broken-in at a store? I have a custom glove that was broken in the wrong way by the previous owner.
You helped me break my new glove in
I’ve done the microwave process numerous time. I use hot water over the entire glove and then put in the microwave for 1 minute. Take it out and beat it. All my gloves are good to go.
hahha...when you guys say "unreal" repeatedly it so reminded me of that Jaxton gloves kid who says it every other word...dont forget..."soo insane"....
Is there a link to buy the one you broke in? Love that colorway and look of the glove.

Freeze, thaw, season thoroughly, then put it into the oven at 480f for 20 mins

You guys that are not catchers make me laugh on the way to break in a glove.
We’re trying 🤷♂️
With the shaving cream treatment don’t leave it wrapped, Mallot it then wipe the cream off
Bro was letting that blue glove crust💀
So is it possible to re-work a glove that has been broken-in inocrrectly or is it beyond repair? Maybe relacing and then trying the break-in all over?
Tell me what he says I have the same problem but what I’ve done is create a new pocket and I’m bout to get my nikona replaced
Should have done the baking method that’s one I remember people doin growing up
Trueee
I love your channel
Are you going to review the cheap’s glove works custom gloves?
Been watching for a long time. Cool to find out you are an IL boy!
Yessir!
1:53 this just hurts to even glimpse at🫣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When wrapping your glove put a baseball in the heel also for a better shape
True true
Hand held steamer is where it's at not a whole steamer focus right on the spots breakin etc to firm it the way you want I swear won't have same issue as a full enclosed steamer
Microwaves work by radiating the water that's def not good
Do you recommend one or two hinge Break-in for a pitchers glove? I haven’t seen a pitchers glove in your videos. Thanks!
they make pretty cheap clothing steamers that would work just fyi for next time
You should make a video about ambidextrous baseball gloves

I think as long as the heel doesn't get folded outwards, and closes normally it's good but not too sure

he lives close to me im guessing i live close to Geneva and Schaumburg
I'm having trouble breaking in my glove cuz idek if I want it 1 hinge or two hinge. It's for infield
What's the glove you used to do your own break-in? with the single post web.
You should try washing machine and dryer
your awesome
No you
Hey BGK how can I use the shaving cream method with my catchers mitt?
Great question, I may need to make some short form content on that
@ballgloveking if Shaunburg is close to your house then your close to me!
do you like ball players balm more than sarna?
What about inside out glove, inverting for 20ish min. Aso did it in a vid and seen a few others too
I will invert my glove a few times for about 5 minutes each time right at the beginning of a new glove break in. This does not ruin your glove or affect its shape in any way.

Yes! Gotta do that next time
Is the blonde Marucci with the Blue Logo the same on used by Josh Jung?
So help full
Schaumburg, Lombard! Buddy from ILLINOIS
Love it
What happened to more vids about the Wilson 1810??
That video was Cool 😎
Thanks homie
Got a Rawlings HoH. Would you stay away from hot water treatment for it?
I’ve been to that play it againy
I flip mine inside out and hit it also on the hinges also but I get it wet in warm water too what’s your opinion is that a good or bad thing to do
Ok I have to come clean I’ve used a microwave before and it has worked as long as you do it right
You said not to wrap a glove. What about a Lizard Skin glove wrap?? It doesn’t squeeze the glove it just makes it so it doesn’t get smushed.
I’ll have to check it out!
@@ballgloveking👍
What about the olds school put it in the oven with that spray they made
Bro your lucky you get free gloves I need a new glove but dont have money
Bro started doing the Mr beast thumbnails
Love the video

Hey ball glove king I recently got a
A2000 1787 glove for 3rd base and a a2000 1799 for outfield. How do I get a thumb to pinky close on my outfield glove. I already wear 2 in the pinky for both but it wants to close thumb to ring finger. Any tips?
Also any tips on how to shape my infield glove more twords 3rd base ? Thanks
marucci review time!!
Did you hot water your MC26 a2k?
Can we get a Rawlings pro preferred versus Wilson a 2K
You thought the guy knew what he was doing on the phone call cuz he asked how old the kid was, then you get a single hinge and dude didn’t ask any other questions….
Try get a 2G glove there really stiff
Love the vid can u give me advice which is better a heart of the hide or a2000?
You will find a lot of good things
A hoh will give you a softer and thicker feel while a2000s are very hard but thinner. Hoh feels better in my opinion and tends to last longer but I think a2000s are better when they are perfect stiffness. Once the a2000 starts to get soft it happens really fast in my experience
i just realized you live in my state lol
@BallGloveKing What state do you live in?
He is in Chicago IL.
@@hiiro24 Cubs or White Sox fan??
Chicago Illinois 👌
My nephew is a 9 yr old all star. He is about to turn 10. What glove do you recommend that will last him 3/4 years? He's 1st base
Rolling on 2 years with a Nokona for my son. Also 9 years old, all star team. Their first base mitt changed his game big time. He also has a Rawlings but could never close it properly.
Dude the conditioner then microwave treatment may be good for a palm stain! that is noticeably darker.
Can you do the CK22 a2000
So buddy lives in the Chicagoland area
