might be my favorite vid you've done bro. Love the ground ball segment!!!! This is pretty similar to how I shaped my shortstop glove back in the day - amazing for deflecting, forehand, and turning double plays - but a tad suspect on "secure the ball" plays like dives/backhand/etc.
i will stand by the statement that Mizuno makes the best gloves in baseball. the American glove line is not as good as Wilson or Rawlings best, but their Japanese gloves are the best gloves there is
Got this glove last winter. Breaking it in mostly one-hinge style per the shallow pocket design. Mizuno gloves are designed to be worn a particular way. Two in the last finger slot just doesn't feel "right" with this glove. The lining is super nice and easy to handle. Great glove vid as always!
Didn't expect the Simmons glove review- that's freakin sweet! Always loved Simba, especially his time with ATL. If you lingered on your turn on the bases, he'd get ya w/the snap throw, so fun to watch!
In my opinion for infield. One hinge is better with two in the pinky. Two in the pinky makes it easier to close because your hand goes further down, therefore letting the heel go deeper into your palm, therefore closing more. (Sorry if I did a horrible job at explaining it.) It also makes backhands easier. But I’m not an infielder I’m a catcher and outfield. But that’s how I like my infield gloves. Yours may be different.
I'm not sure if it's true that the leather is tanned in Japan. As far as I know, Mizuno's glove for US models are mostly made in China. Only the limited edition is made in Haga Japan. Even most of the models in Japan are made in China too nowadays. But it doesn't really matter I guess, this video is awesome, just want to point this out in case anyone is interested in buying these because of where it's being made.
Rawlings and Wilson are very popular in USA, but in Japan, it would be mostly Mizuno, Asics, Zett, SSK. I know Rawlings and Wilson also have it's own JP models in JP market. There is one that just released in US market as well. I think it's called Wilson Staff glove. It was sold out pretty quickly tho. It would be great if you could make a video explaining the difference between JP models and USA models.
First off thanks got watching and I always want to know if I’m wrong! I was surprised but from what I read the leather is tanned in Japan. I was doubting it as well honestly haha. But I’ve got a series coming up in a couple months where I will be comparing US and Japan Gloves. I’m like ridiculously excited for the series cause I’m obsessed with Japanese gloves!
My daughter is a fastpitch softball pitcher she won't use any glove but Mizuno. I grew up with Rawlings but she loves Mizuno. Getting ready to order her a custom Mizuno this week.
Should really make more vidoes of fielding with gloves, I look around TH-cam and can’t find anything good but this is the best and ONLY video, please make more love the content!
All right. The Japanese style gloves are way nicer by far. Have you seen the Wilson staffs? Or Rawlings Japan? They are so cool. But Mizuno is definitely a top glove brand.
I love mizuno gloves! I’ve never used an infield but it’s honestly All I’ll catch with. I bought an a2000 catchers mitt and ended up selling it and buying a Mizuno again and it’s amazing. I also feel like every price point of glove they sell is very good quality. My first catchers mitt from them was $100 dollars and the one I just bought was $400 and they are both amazing
That’s interesting. I used to catch and another player once told me that he’s a mizuno guy for life at every position…except for catcher. He thought they were inferior to Wilson/Rawlings/all-star
@@drizzle452 I have a Mizuno classic pro mitt and am not the biggest fan of the shape, the leather is great tho. The Japanese market Mizuno pros mitts are fantastic, it has a very different shape and padding style to the American market ones.
Found your channel last week and I love your videos. Ball glove equivalent of the bat bros. Say, can you do a review of rico gloves? Heard they are pretty good for the price and have just as much customization options as 44 pro.
That’s tough man, there’s a lot of options. I’m actually a huge fan of Mike trouts glove so that’s an option and from Wilson I love the 1799 but most outfield gloves with an H web are pretty dang solid
Do you happen to break in gloves for people? I got a 44 and I don’t want to mess up the form I really want the form like your titan athletics glove and don’t know how to go about that.
Can you break this glove in with a double hinge or is it too awkward ? Or can you do the single and double hinge break in you describe in the 2023 breakin video (I think)?
I just bought this glove.. Would you recommend the 1 hinge like Simmons has it or break in with 2 hinges. I honestly just bought the glove for something to break in and play catch with
It would be kinda funny to see you review the coach baseball glove not the glove your little league coach wore but the brand “Coach” for some reason they made a glove
good afternoon, Glove King - need your assistance I have a Wilson sc1786 A 2000 AND A MIZUNO global elite (broken in easy)., having trouble with the Wilson. In the past year I have had two surgical procedures (amputations - pinky finger old service injury plus tendon/nerve on same hand- lose of feeling 50%). Wilson glove not soft enough to close thumb to second finger I have tried the Web gem mold glove kit, conditioner no good plus working glove binding no help at all (please note I leave first finger slot empty). Spent $400 on Wilson glove customized, can u assist me in issue I'm having. Thank You Be Blessed.
Hey! I know this is an older video, so I hope you’ll see this, but do you know if any of the 44 Pro models can be formed like this model or have the same pattern? This type of glove, along with the np pattern from Rawlings are my favorite because I like the one hinge closing pattern. I have an np style Rawlings GG Elite and love it, but it’s very floppy which I don’t like. I also have a Pro Preferred wingtip, but I really dislike the shape, so I would like to give a 44 a try, but don’t want to blindly spend the money hoping it’s something I’ll like. Thanks!
I had a cheap 80 dollar Mizuno glove and it worked great for like a month but then it got too soft but of course this more expensive glove is gonna be better. No hate on Mizuno just pointing out that their cheaper gloves kinda suck. Anyways nice vid love the ground ball segment!
Love this glove it’s broken in like a glove should be and always has been all this two in the pink and square heel was for outfield gloves and now everyone does it because a few big league players started doing it in the infield😂 but I never seen anyone changing there stance trying to hit like Kevin youkilis😂

Love your stuff bat bros!
Super glad you liked it, but yes I agree 100%
This definitely beats watching someone play catch. I’m pretty sure all glove review videos should be like this
That’s why I’m the king I guess
Mizuno is huge in Japan, the most dominant brand over there I would even say is much bigger there than Rawlings or Wilson in the US
That’s so interesting!
Great stuff! Very informative! Keep up the great work 👊😉
Thank you sir!!
Love the vids. Very interesting to see how certain elite players prefer their gloves to be broken in.
Thanks for watching bro!
i will stand by the statement that Mizuno makes the best gloves in baseball. the American glove line is not as good as Wilson or Rawlings best, but their Japanese gloves are the best gloves there is
The Japanese gloves are definitely super nice!
@@ballglovekingis this the same as the mixing pro select

I could watch his defensive highlights on loop. Fun fact: CJ also used a Mizuno.

Gorgeous looking glove 😍😍love the twins color way
True true true
Absolutely love your vids man
Thanks my guy
Thanks bro I really feel like you help understand gloves more than most other channels

Ball glove king is the goat
True

Yeah the true Japanese models are so nice!

I bet that $400 mitt is soooo nice
Ball Glove King same one most of the Mizuno pros use! I love it

You NEED to review the aria gloves. The Aria Purist is $250
I know!
Found your channel last week and I love your videos. Ball glove equivalent of the bat bros. Say, can you do a review of rico gloves? Heard they are pretty good for the price and have just as much customization options as 44 pro.
I want to! They haven’t responded to me yet lol
But thank you for watching bro, super glad you enjoy it!
Bought a 44 because of you. Looking to add a new glove to the collection would you suggest a A2000 or a HOTH? Love the videos man keep it up!
I’m not the ball glove king, but personally I have both a2000 and a hoh and the a2000 is the best glove I’ve ever used.
It’s impossible to say! Both are amazing, I lean toward Rawlings but both rock so try to getting into a sporting goods shop and feel then both around
I am the one hinge person and the one hinge is amazing
You do you my guy, keep it up!
I like this one hinge style of glove. But I find backhands easier with two in pinky.
I think I agree
How do you break in your gloves so well. They are perfect
It’s actually magic
@@ballgloveking I knew it!
Damn . Nice glove work . Smooth n fast . Seriously
it's clean!
Nice video!
Ain't ohtani rocking an asics glove? I'd love to see you reviewing is.
Yes he is, I’ll try to get to it
@@ballgloveking Awesome! Looking forward to see the video.
That glove is so nice
Yes yes it is
Love these videos keep it up 👍
Thank you!
Can you review a Nacona glove
I’ll get to that at one point
Love the vids. Can you try to do a video on Cory Seagers Glove?
I’ll try to in the future
You should try doing Brandon Crawfords glove
I know I want to!
Big fan of your videos!!!!
Could you do a video on how Tulo wuld break in his glove? Thanks in Advance, Stay Blessed💯
I will in the future!
can you review the 44 c2 model?
I really should have done that by now, I’ll try to soon!
Softball videos soon?
Next month ish
What mic do you used to be micd up?? Was it something affordable or something a bit more expensive?
Sorta expensive it’s called the Rode wireless 2 I think
What’s the best baseball outfield glove in your opinion
That’s tough man, there’s a lot of options. I’m actually a huge fan of Mike trouts glove so that’s an option and from Wilson I love the 1799 but most outfield gloves with an H web are pretty dang solid
If you’re instinctive at catching fly balls with a strong/accurate arm, you’re a good OF! Outfielder gloves don’t matter! Just kidding. Kind of.
You look smother with the Mizuno
Smother I look
Thank you
How about the steerhide pro select? The Tatis is 50percent off , they got the same glove without his logo on it for over 100$ more
What are the best ways to get a palm stain I really like the look
Do you happen to break in gloves for people? I got a 44 and I don’t want to mess up the form I really want the form like your titan athletics glove and don’t know how to go about that.
sorry bro I just don't have the time!
Chris you should do a review of an SSK glove!
Can you break this glove in with a double hinge or is it too awkward ? Or can you do the single and double hinge break in you describe in the 2023 breakin video (I think)?
Can you do a Javy Báez glove review and break in please
I’ll try to soon
You should review Nokona gloves
I'll try to soon!
I just bought this glove.. Would you recommend the 1 hinge like Simmons has it or break in with 2 hinges. I honestly just bought the glove for something to break in and play catch with
What is a one hinge outfielder model from Willson??
It sorta doesn’t exist, you can break it in like that but they don’t make a model for it because it’s best to use two hinges for outfield
You should do how Fransisco Lindor breaks in his glove in next
Trueee
Pls introduce SuSaNo glove🙏
11 year old 2nd baseman.
$100.00 budget
What do you buy coach?
Do Javy’s SSK breakdown please
trust me i want to!
Great review! #Simbaaaaa
Thank you!!
It would be kinda funny to see you review the coach baseball glove not the glove your little league coach wore but the brand “Coach” for some reason they made a glove
I’ve wanted to do that for a while lol

BGK not talking down on your editing, but the sound affects in the transitions are SUPER loud and pierce the ears of headphone users.
Lol my bad, much appreciated tip!
@@ballgloveking All good my man, love the videos I've been here before you were at 1k subs. Keep it up!
That pumps me up let’s goooo!!!!
@@ballgloveking Any chance you’ll be reviewing the new 44 EX-10 model? Looks interesting like a single welted a2000
Could you do Freddie Freeman
Maybe in the near future
@@ballgloveking thanx man I miss that guy with the Braves
How does this compare to the Rawlings np model the squeezes with one home?
Similar yes but still different, I prefer the NP pattern along with Rawlings leather I think
Ruth cameo at 5:58
Best part
Do you know how to keep my Gold Glove Elite broke in. I have done a lot of work on my glove and it keeps going back to stiff
That's interesting. My answer is disappointing lol
Just keep working on it and use it in practices if you can!
on both my mizuno gloves they fell apart and the top layer leather flaked off and got all over my hands but it may have been a fluke
Do you remember what model it was? Like what the palm said
@@ballgloveking it says "GPP 1002" and i got it in 2013... it was my first glove i played baseball with. the other is "GSL 1200D"
still waiting on a tt2 video
True
what would you want for your a2k 1799 with grey superskin?
$2000
Lol sorry man I’m not looking to sell it
@@ballgloveking lol alr do you have any outfield gloves you would be willing to sell?
