Thank you for viewing. This is a Kubota Slugger soft-ball catcher's mitt. It has been professionally broken in at the store where it was purchased, so it can be used immediately. Its main feature is that it's a compact catcher's mitt with a shallow pocket. I was interested in it and bought it online. I tried it on and played catch with it, but it seems a compact mitt isn't a good fit for me, so I'm putting it up for sale. However, since it's shallow, it makes a really nice sound when you catch the ball in the pocket. I have never used it outdoors. Thank you.
