Franklin Sports Baseball Fielding Glove - Men's Adult and Youth Baseball Glove - CTZ5000 Cowhide Infield and Outfield Baseball Gloves

Honestly, great construction. The only down side is there could be more padding on the palm like the Mizunos. This leather mit pops though. I’d say game ready if you need it to be. This glove will break in quick. Deep pocket web that is sturdy all the way up. I love this glove and recommend it for the price. The stitching will hold up for a few years. Maybe it’ll last 25 years like my mizuno

Let’s get one thing straight — the Franklin Sports CTZ5000 isn’t just a glove, it’s a leather handshake from a cow that gave its all for your baseball dreams.Fits like it was born on my hand. Soft enough to catch comfortably, tough enough to snag line drives without flinching, and it even smells like baseball nostalgia and bovine excellence. None of that fake “pleather” nonsense that feels like it was repurposed from a knockoff purse and melts in July.Yes, it’s a little pricey — but real cowhide doesn’t grow on trees (unless cows are evolving faster than I thought). And honestly, if you're still out there trying to break in a plastic glove that sounds like a chip bag every time you close it... it’s time to level up.Pros:– Real leather: legit cow, not “leather-adjacent” vinyl– Great fit, solid construction– Looks and feels like it means businessCons:– Costs more than that $12 "pleather" special, but it also doesn’t squeak like a sad couch when you flex it.Final Verdict:5 stars. Smells like victory and a well-fed cow. Buy it.

This mitt fits well for me. I play catch with my grandson. He plays several positions and he improves continuously. I broke the mitt in with shaving cream and leather conditioner. I do enjoy it.

Came broken in my grandson, loves it

I recently got my hands on the Franklin CTZ5000 - catcher's mitt, and I couldn't be more impressed! This mitt is a game-changer for both adult and youth players. The leather construction not only feels premium but also offers exceptional durability, making it a great investment for any player looking to elevate their game.The camel and brown color combination is stylish yet classic, appealing to players of all ages. I noticed that the mitt offers excellent flexibility. One of the standout features for me is how well it molds to the hand. The pocket is well-structured, providing confidence when catching high-speed balls. If there's one thing I don't quite fancy about the glove is its weight. Pretty heavy for me, but then again maybe it's just my noodle arm.Overall, I recommend the Franklin CTZ5000 glove for young and youth players. It’s a fantastic blend of quality, comfort, and performance. Worth every dollar spent!

My son loves this baseball glove!! Super soft and great quality. Price was as expected, but less than department stores.
