The Rawlings sandlot and the Wilson A700 are also great options so I will link them here

I've been using the mizuno franchise for 3 years and it still holds up to this day after using it everyday. Highly recommend the glove to any youth players or anyone who needs a cheap and good glove.
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Ball Glove King uploads
You are so right 😮
I have the Rawlings sandlot and I absolutely love the glove. Super comfortable and has been battle tested for 3 years now and looks just as good as the day I bought it
Same
That’s so good to hear!
whats your age?
rawlings sandlot gloves are the go to glove for dads just lookin to play some catch with their kid. teaching their son to throw. if a dad doesn't still have his own glove from earlier years, the sandlot series makes for a good choice.
I have an old Louisville Slugger Glove in a Heart Of The Glove series at 11.5 inches due to small hand size, more to the Rawlins Sure Catch style, the gray and black closed web design that was $30 at the time and now having used a Rawlins Sure Catch in almost the same design with a closed web only a size too small at 10.5 inches I can say the gloves feel almost the same with the same Genuine Pressed Leather glove only in the new Rawlins glove, the glove needs to be broken in as the glove does not have a built in padding/duel leather air padding system the Lewisville Slugger gloves had but instead uses several thicker leather/fake leather under layers in the palm as the padding. The one I borrowed was from a Cousins kid who plays and his glove felt good, only I had issues with the sizing is all being the counsins son, his old glove was too small for me just barely fitting. Cousins kid wanted practice with catching and breaking in a used glove got off e-Bay to fit his hands better not the previous owner so I was throwing the ball using his old glove, with me as about the only person who could even use the glove properly. Cousins Kid likes used gloves as they tend to be pre broken in for most of them unless really cheap gloves that will not break in due to the type of synthetic used like a vinyl, also he was using a better glove from Rawlins only used for $45 in an all brown Player Preferred Series in a 12 inch to 12.5 inch size for his hands of almost same web design as the Rawlins Sure Catch he had previous that is now $40 and for about the same quality to the old Louisville Slugger the pricing going up due to inflation is understandable. If I were to need a new glove I would try the Sure Catch if I could not find a Great shape of the Old Louisville Slugger Glove in a Heart Of The Glove series type glove off e-Bay for a reasonable price.
Was a considerable upgrade from anything I ever had as a kid. I can't imagine needing more "luxury" than is in my Sandlot.
get a REAL glove goodness those are garbage
@@AK907g_money Why?
@@AK907g_money Literally mentions being a dad and throwing with his son, no need for a high level glove for that purpose. I just picked one of these up for LHT, while I have several high end gloves for RHT(RICO custom, 44 Pro, and a Nokona) and this is fine for the purpose he mentioned.
Appreciate your review! I am looking at the sandlot and this helped alot
Picked up a Franchise this summer and was very surprised by how well it performs. Break in was easy. And it hasn't fallen apart after a summer of ball.
That’s what I like to hear!!
Thanks for making this video😁👍🏽!!! I have the same the Mizuno Franchise I-Web and a Sandlot 12.75" H-Web and both are great for playing weekend warrior baseball!!!! Glad you agreed those are the best two 👍🏽👍🏽
That’s awesome to hear, thanks for watching!!
@@ballgloveking Do you have a video on breaking in a Rawlings Pro Preferred? Seems to me that the thinner leather is prone to bubbles or creasing.
Franchise is a sleeper. Very comfortable, good pocket, easy break in. I had it for a year now, I usually use it in slowpitch but would still use it sometimes in fastpitch when I play as an outfiled. I think it's a perfect glove for someone who just want to play baseball or slowpitch for fun.
You field ground balls like an outfielder….
And u field ground balls like ur grandmother
Is that meant as an insult?
@@primogemant548no he doesn’t get the ball between his legs he is almost late to it I play outfield and this is usually how it happens
I think it’s because the guy who’s batting it to him is a bit close so there for he doesn’t have that much time to react 🤷♂️
I’m currently using a Rawlings sandlot and I honestly love it, perfect cheap glove if you’re in a pinch and need a glove fast
You do great videos thanks for your honest and very funny content. You convinced me to skip the Wilson A700 which I was figuring was a big step up from the A450. I ended up getting a Mizuno MVP prime for under $100! Thanks for the awesome advice!
Dude that was the best decision you’ve ever made!
I literally asked for the sandlot series a few videos back and now you did it. Yaaaaaay❤
Yessirrr
i think the sandlot glove will age better and last longer than the marucci he chose.
3:43 was such a funny bit! Love this type of content.
Ball glove king should make some of those grippy socks that kids use at trampoline parks so we don't have to see those feet ever again
I purchased a sandlot series first basemen glove for my son. It was only 70 dollars and it is nice quality for the price.
i have a rawlings youth premium pro taper series infield glove its 11.5 and have had it for 3ish years its real leather has a good pop taste good it took about a week of beating the glove hot water treatment and just playing catch and is durable for just $70
One cool thing about rawlings is how you can customize a glove. I mean you can literally choose the whole color of every part of your glove and they do have some cheaper gloves you can customize also.
Love your content, keep it up
Love the content, I’m currently deciding between the Rawlings HoH Harper model and the A2k 1810 which one would you recommend?
I don’t think a lot of people wear an infield glove two in the pinky, it creates i bigger pocket, and has less range on fielding the ball. You ever stick your arm down to take a ground ball two in the pinky compared to traditional? You have more surface area in my opinion while wearing it traditional. I am pretty old, but my sons are 12 and I see them all wearing traditional on the infield and two in the pinky in the outfield. I guess what I’m trying to say is I don’t see the point in reviewing infield gloves two in the pinky, unless most kids wear their gloves this way now days.
Have y'all ever seen the channel "Rose Anvil"? They review shoes and boots. They do a lot to test and show the quality of the leather, and I'd be curious as to what some of those tests (Namely the burn test) would show on baseball gloves.
I love that guy!
I’ve thought similarly, maybe we need to implement it!
I was so excited when you reviewed Franchise. I remember commenting you for it.
This is my first video I’m watching of this guy and I like him already.
I'd like to see you do a video on the Dunlop MVP 889/518 glove. I've had one for like 30 years and it's still in good shape. It makes an 11 1/2 feel like an infant's glove.
mizunos with that web were always my favorite growing up, but more in the 200$ range. you really cant beat that web for shape-ability of an infield glove
I bought a $90 Mizuno softball glove to play slowpitch. The I bought $200 glove to "upgrade" but still use the Mizuno mostly. Feels perfect to me.
20:35 😂
“The interior of this glove is potentially… cotton candy” 🍭☁️
Can confirm. My daughter used the previous version of this glove for softball and pulled out some of the interiors and it was indeed cotton candy. I had to buy her a new glove of course, but it was a tasty lesson to learn.
I literally just bought the rawlings select to coach my sons t-ball team and was watching your videos on breaking in new gloves and stumbled across this one
We had that Mizuno Franchise in a first base mitt, good for 1 year. That palm pad you're referring to breaks down fairly quickly and the ball will kill your hand if it's infielders that can throw at a fairly decent velocity. The laces will need replacing quickly as well. The only good thing about the mitt was that it was super light and easy to control. The older versions of the franchise gloves were made much better and lasted a lot longer.
Very good input!!
I just purchased a Rawlings youth sized Kris Bryant glove and honestly it fits amazingly considering I’m an adult, all I need to do is adjust the wrist cuff a bit and it’s golden
I lost all my gloves, bats, everything when I got divorced. I use a Wilson 950 12.5" for slow pitch and HATED it when I first got it. A lot of work, molding, and pine tar and it's one of my favorites now. I'm a die hard HOH guy. This one is legit now after it was worked.
In high school, like 10 years ago, I bought a Rawlings RBG36BC 12.5" for $40. It is still alive and my favorite glove I've ever used. Over an A2000 even.
A lot of guys here in Germany buy the Sandlot as their first glove. Prices obviously get inflated over here because of import and we also don't get the wide selection you guys get in the States. They are nice gloves with decent leather that come in a wide range of patterns that most new players feel comfortable buying. They are usually easy to break in and the good patterns mean even a complete newbie won't screw the form up too much. The MVP Prime is also a favourite for a little more money when people want to upgrade after a couple of years.
The marucci oxbow series is what I rock. Love it only around 100 maybe 110
I literally just got the Marucci glove yesterday and thought its pretty good 😅
The first baseball ever was a sandlot series in those were surprisingly, really good
Love your vids!
Great review! Definitely flipped to Mizuno over Arcadia.
One thing i noticed about Rawling vs Wilson is rawlings has "OK" gloves for any price range, where wilson budget gloves are all pretty trash. If you want a wilson you pretty much have to buy a A2K or A2000, everything else is brutal
I think the A1000 is slept on a little for younger guys who need a softer leather. But I don’t think your statement is too far off
Great video. Man of the people!
Thank you 🙏
I got a Rawlings Bull series in 6th grade and still have it. Was super big for me when I first got it and I grew into it through middle school. Wore it all through high school because money was tight and I played outfield so having a big, floppy glove worked just fine. Side note: been watching your channel because I’m having a little boy in less than a month and I already want to get him a glove and maybe get one for me so we can play catch even though that’s at least 5 years away. Thanks for the content man
This almost made me cry because my glove is a Walmart glove
Lolol I’m sorry
Mine is too
My son uses a 25 dollar franklin and doesn’t split hairs about it. He just loves baseball.
Rawlings select it's good for 1 year or something. Was a good cheap option and fell very confortable. Now, i wan to buy a Sandlot 12.75
I have the a700 and it’s really good this is my 3rd year using it and it’s still amazing
I have the Rawlings Select and it’s actually done its job for me. However, I am getting a new glove this Friday.
Any chance that you could get some Bradley(Next Play Series), or Burley(Elite Series) youth gloves to review against each other and against the big brand names in a similar price range?
of course its kind of chilly when you have shorts on when its late fall. :)
What glove would you recommend for a high schooler playing outfield. Preferably a smaller budget, and some sort of brownish tan color.
What glove do you recommend for higher league softball probably none of these but in general
I own a mizuno franchise and I love it and I have had it for 2 years
Please do a video on the Rawlings select professional their cheap but there are no videos on TH-cam about the glove
I have only two gloves and one is a old renegade outfield glove that needs work and a pitchers glove from Soto that i got at a yard sale when I was around 5 and Im considering getting a Rawlings sandlots midfielders glove or catchers glove
What do think about the Franklin ctz5000 as I saw their price is very attractive
I luv all ur budget vids
Me too, thanks my man 🙏
"it's so light and cheap that it pulls the glove away from me." *Absolutely pelts it at the wall
Can you use the mizuno franchise for softball?
i've got a marucci that has the same problem. After 1 season of throwing with my kid, the glove was completely worn out. It started out as a decent enough glove and went downhill quick. I ended up spending a little more on a R9 and have never looked back.
Love the video
I know this off-topic but have you ever thought about doing a review on slowpitch gloves?
I love your channel❤😊
I was hoping to see a Wilson a 950 on this one
Can you please do a review on the 1975 a2000
Looking for a tball glove with a huge pockets? Any ideas?
Can you review the new 2024 a1000s? I really wanna see how they compare to the other ~$200 gloves
I’ve had the 12” a1000 black and red ($150) for over a year now. Excellent feel and has held its shape. I use it mainly for slow pitch sb and outfield hardball. It’s definitely not a2000 quality or stiffness but way better than the budget gloves I chose from. My nephew has an a2000 1786 ($219) that felt great but the hand stall was tiny. I went with a Rawlings HOH r2g 11.5 ($300 but I got it second hand from a young coworker for $120 and it was broken in 2 hinge with 2 in the pink the way I would have) for infield hardball and I couldn’t be happier with it.
I play LF and i busted the laces on my web on my ssk z9 and didnt have money to get a good glove so i ran around looking for a cheap glove to finish off the few games i had left. So i got tge rawlings from walmart and it wasnt bad to finish off the season. Not something i recommend for a full season use but for a game of catch or a few games its not bad.
Heck yeah bro thats awesome to hear. Good choice for a few games!
Can u do a review on grace gloves
What size was the sandlot series ?
“My slurp sounded just like Ryan Trahan” 😂
It did 🤷♂️
Those are nice gloves for that range
We got ice and you uploading a vid in the same day? Wild.. thank you
Those guys rock!
Please try out the z5 next 🙏(the 12.25 and under dropped down under $100)
I’ve heard some good things about it so maybe it’ll make it to a part 2
@@ballglovekingk
My 10 y/o has the Franchise and it’s a very solid glove. Way better than anything I had when I was 10.
Any recommendations about gloves for 6U players?
I'll take the Murcci glove!🙃
It's alright for what it is in my experience. Very plush. Essy to break in. Super easy to squeeze. I borrowed my daughter's Marucci (same glove but different year) when I hurt my elbow and couldn't squeeze a glove without pain. It definitely does the job.
Had 2 teammates with a Rawlings sandlot 1B mitt (high school 7A). One held up impeccably and the other not only had 2 lace blowouts in the web, but the 2nd time the web itself tore at the stitching and even ripped some leather.
Dang that’s so wild 😬
How often should I condition my glove
Can you please do the sandlot catchers mitt
8:19 that was funny ngl
I got the rawlings select for 20 dollars when I started catching with my son still use it sometimes
That’s CHEAP
Yo are you from St louis? I like your shirt
I have a Willson A500 and it's a pretty good glove and it was like $80... i think... although i don't think it has any real leather
you should Review the Easton flagship
i have the a700 and it’s really good
Where did you get the Nolan shirt? He's my favorite player and I need that!
It was gifted to me by the We Got Ice guys, I believe it’s from JomBoy Media so maybe they still sell them 🤷♂️
I know you said that the Gamer XLE just came in that colorway, but I ordered a gamer xle 31 pattern in a different color way. Don't know if it will perform the same, I guess we will just have to find out.
It was only 120 on amazon too.
That’s awesome!
It’s like the domestic version of the Eric Sim/Momentum video that just dropped from Japan. 🎉🎉🎉
Have you ever considered reviewing Boombah gloves? Started as a softball brand but have baseball offerings now too. Can order off the rack for
I’ve seen a couple in person and I don’t think I would have anything good to say about them… but maybe I should make a video to keep everyone informed
Have a brand new 12” H web I’d be willing to send you if that would help. Totally impartial to the brand so rip it to shreds if need be lol. Just know the low budget videos have been popular lately. HMU if interested.

Thoughts on A950, looks like it falls at $100. Looking for a new "dad glove" for playing catch with my kids and helping assistant coach. My 10+ year old floppy 13" softball glove is ready for retirement.
you should try out the Japanese glove brand "zett"
I use the sandlot series and it did get floppy and folded I like it but I would probably get something else
I’m in 12u and I use the marruci Acadia and it’s doing great
I got a really good A450 from the wilson website just for shipping and yes in store its also 50$ but online you need shipping and handling
one thing Rawlings seems to do that a lot of other companies dont is when making cheaper gloves, the thickness of the leather increases as the quality becomes really soft, and they still use decent laces. other companies like Wilson and Marucci will use lower grain leather, but keep the same thickness, so they just dont feel as good, whereas Rawlings just feel more comfortable as they get cheaper
Good point on laces. It’s not as much of an issue at the kid level but I’ve seen that play out poorly at the adult league level when guys go cheap.
@deepzone31 . Shit gloves rely on laces so much. Give a kid a shit glove and tighten the laces at it will feel like a major league level glove. Thats why Wilson has caught a lot of shit recently, even on their pro gloves the laces are worse than Rawlings' budget gloves
@@baileysmith4744 I agree somewhat. The tighter laces is a different issue than weaker laces. There are definitely loosely laced gloves at the kid level that affect play. There are also other issues like kids not keeping a ball inside to maintain pocket that also hurt kids' performance. The 44 issue was the laces rupturing on a fairly new glove. I suspect the issue may be exclusive to the dyed laces but it requires more data to be sure.
I'd like to hear more on the Wilson gloves. I wasn't aware of this. I had a 1799 A2000 that I used for outfield for probably 12 years that never had any issues with laces. I only had to tighten them up a couple of times. The endgame for that glove was the thumb stay and palm deteriorating. The laces outlasted the interior construction. :)
@deepzone31. Gonna make the point quick. Rawlings laces are elite even on cheap gloves, and they last a long time unlike other brands even on their high end gloves. When Rawlings cheap leather gets soft, tightening the laces gives the glove an amazing shape that will last and makes the glove feel better than it did when first bought.
There really isnt much else to say about it
If you haven't done a video on them could you do one on slowpitch softball gloves?
I hope to do some of that next year on a separate channel… I know that’s in a while sorry!
But for now just know that most Slowpitch gloves are kind of a scam and you should buy something like the Wilson 1799 (12.75”) instead
@@ballgloveking currently play with Rawlings RBG36B 12 1/2" Sammy Sosa Black Leather Baseball Glove from when i played in high school. I have had it re-laced but wanted to know if there is something better out there for when this one finally dies.
How about the Wilson A950?
I have that 1st base grove 😂 I like it good for a cheep 1st base grove
what are those shorts?
Can you make an affordable catchers glove video
I grabbed a unused sandlot off eBay for 30 bucks 3 weeks ago….. I wish the z5 was on this. I think this video will do well. If it does, I would like to see sub 125$ catchers and 1b mitts before March, just saying.
That’s a good idea… maybe it’s in the works
I dont know if ur seeing this but i love your content and I have been watching you since day 1 ❤
You're killing me. I literally just bought and received a Wilson A700 (the same shown in this video) for my son, based on a previous recommendation in one of your videos, and now you trash the glove.
No bueno.
That's rough! But still, I guess it depends on the level of play/age of your son. My son is 7 and played 7U rec ball this year with a Wilson A500. It was easy to squeeze and he got comfortable with it. The balls they use are squishy and they don't come out fast enough to "bully" the glove. If your son like the A700 you're in good shape.
TLDR: BGK has a different philosophy of use for gloves than a young kid might. It's not that he is WRONG, but if your son likes the glove, that's really what counts.
