Fastpitch vs. Slowpitch Softball Gloves: What’s the Difference?
Choosing the right softball glove starts with understanding your game. Fastpitch softball gloves and slowpitch softball gloves may look similar, but each is built to support a different style of play.
What Makes a Fastpitch Softball Glove Unique?
Fastpitch softball gloves are engineered for the fast pace of competitive games. These gloves typically feature:
- Tighter finger stalls for better control
- Shallower pockets for quicker ball transfers
- Reinforced padding to handle high-velocity throws
Fastpitch gloves are ideal for infielders, outfielders, and catchers who need responsiveness and protection. Players looking for top-tier performance will appreciate the fit and durability of our fastpitch gloves collection.
How Slowpitch Softball Gloves Are Built for Comfort
Slowpitch softball gloves offer a more relaxed and flexible design, suited for the slower tempo of slowpitch games. Key features include:
- Deeper pockets to catch and control larger softballs
- Flexible construction for a broken-in feel
- Wide sizing range to suit various fielding positions
These gloves are perfect for recreational and league players who value ease of use and reliable performance. Browse our selection of slowpitch softball gloves to find models built for comfort, durability, and all-day playability.

Softball Glove vs Baseball Glove: What's the Difference?
Although softball gloves and baseball gloves may appear similar at first glance, they’re designed with key differences to match the needs of each sport. One of the most noticeable distinctions is pocket size—softball gloves feature a larger pocket to handle the bigger softball, while baseball gloves are built with a smaller, tighter pocket for better control of the smaller baseball.
Fit is also a factor. Softball gloves, particularly in fastpitch, often have wider finger stalls and a different wrist opening to accommodate hand shape and ball size. Baseball gloves, on the other hand, prioritize precision handling and typically have a snugger fit.

What Size Softball Glove Does a 13-Year-Old Need?
For a 13-year-old, the size glove typically ranges between 11.5 to 12.5 inches. The exact glove size depends on their position and fit preference. Factors in glove sizing, such as the fit around the fingers, should be considered, and an inexpensive softball glove could be a good starting choice.
How Do I Know My Softball Glove Size?
To determine your softball glove size, measure the distance from your index finger to the heel of your palm. Consider factors in glove sizing such as the fit around your fingers and the type of glove. Youth gloves will have a shorter pocket and size, while adult gloves may vary in size.
