All Star Pro Elite 34" Baseball Catchers Glove (Solid Black)
Dominate behind the plate with the stiffest version of baseball's most iconic mitt. The All Star Pro Elite 34" Baseball Catchers Glove in Solid Black features stiffer premium-grade Japanese steerhide leather on both the inside and outside for catchers who prefer maximum structure and support. This all-black construction delivers the same proven 34" pattern and professional features as the classic black/tan model, but with increased stiffness throughout that serious players favor for enhanced ball control and a more rigid pocket that holds its shape through the most demanding catching workload.
Features
- All-Black Premium Steerhide: Compared to the original black and tan model, this mitt features the stiffer black leather on both interior and exterior surfaces, creating enhanced structural support and a firmer pocket that maintains its shape through extended professional use.
- Maximum Structural Integrity: The all-black leather construction provides catchers with a stiffer glove that offers superior ball control and pocket retention, ideal for players who prefer a more rigid mitt that doesn't require constant re-forming during the season.
- Professional 34" Pattern: The same 34" sizing trusted by Major League catchers including Martin Maldonado, providing the larger target area needed to handle today's harder-throwing pitchers with increased movement and offering maximum reach for receiving strikes at the edges of the zone.
- Extended Longevity: The stiffer black leather throughout the entire mitt increases lifespan compared to softer leather constructions, making this the choice for catchers who want maximum durability and structural retention across multiple seasons of elite play.
- Proven Two-Piece Closed Web: Features the professional-standard web design that maximizes ball security during receiving while maintaining the transfer speed needed for quick throws to bases, giving catchers confidence on every pitch.
- Martin Maldonado Game Model: This specific model is worn by professional catcher Martin Maldonado, who won the Rawlings Gold Glove Award in 2017 using his custom 34" mitt with "100%" sharpied on the back of the web as his reminder to give every pitch complete attention and focus.
- Expert Hand Craftsmanship: Only the finest materials and hand craftsmanship are used to construct these exceptional mitts, with each glove individually made to ensure the quality and consistency serious catchers demand.
