What MLB players look for when picking a glove (VIDEO)

Spring training isn’t just about playing baseball. It’s about gearing up.

In this video we chat with a Rawlings representative who takes us through the process by which MLB players see a host of gloves available at spring training, and then select their glove for the year.

Do they prize comfort? Fit? The sound of the fist hitting leather? A flashy color?

This is their commitment to something they’ll wear for the next 162 games. There are different leathers, different colors, materials, different webs, all organized for position, all for players to sort through and find.

See them all in the video above.
