Kubota Slugger Softball Glove For Shortstop and Second Base - Brand: Slugger - Model: KSN-6PSM - Color: Black - Features: Leather, Woven Design The following is my personal opinion. The pocket is shallow. I think it's best for catching the ball in the palm. I think it's best for shortstops and second basemen. This glove is not the type that you close tightly to catch the ball, so I think it's more suitable for experienced players than beginners. I used it when coaching children's baseball, so I didn't use it in games, and mostly used it for catch. There are no cracks, and I think the condition is not bad. Ready to use immediately. I mainly used Mizuno Pro leather care cream, so it has a matte finish. Please understand that this is a used item, and no claims or returns are accepted.
