The pocket is centered on the catching surface, slightly below the middle finger. Two pockets have been created, one for touch plays and one for fielding ground balls. The 69 model is a best-selling Wilson infield glove, and it's a very well-balanced glove. Compared to recent Wilson gloves, it has a more classic feel, but the heel is not too wide, making it a practical glove that's easy for players with smaller hands to use. There is some peeling on the welting and the inside of the glove (middle finger area), and there's a slight snag when inserting the middle finger. There's no problem with using it, but please check the photos beforehand. There is embroidery on the palm. Please confirm. The size is the same as a Mizuno size 8 (for second base and shortstop). Please comment if you have any questions or would like to negotiate the price. Wilson Staff HWK-69L, color compatible with high school baseball regulations Hardball infield glove, size 11.25 inches For shortstop and second base Laces, grease, and shape adjusted.
