Made from the finest leathers, Mizuno's catcher's mitts feature a patented ParaShock Palm which absorbs the shock of repeated use, providing less rebound, more protection, and ideal comfort. 4D Technology - Revolutionary Glove Construction Historically, ball gloves were created using static, paper-based patterns made to "fit" the hand with little to no attention given to the "dynamic" of the hand. Utilizing state of the art technology, Mizuno has researched the dynamics of catching using data from the best players in the world. As a result, we have created position specific ball gloves that are designed with the requirements of the position in mind. Made from Deguchi leather, Mizuno Pro baseball gloves are the softest and most durable baseball gloves available. Limited hide utilization ensures that only the best sections of each hide are used in the production of each Mizuno Pro baseball glove. Deguchi leather is much softer and more flexible than previous Mizuno Pro leathers, yet has higher tensile strength enabling the best of both worlds: game ready feel with long lasting durability. Mizuno's "GameDay" Clasic Pro ball gloves offer gloves that perform at the highest level, with the identical specifications as your favorite professionals such as league MVP's Ichiro Suzuki, Chipper Jones, and Miguel Tejada.
