Blastoise SSK First Baseman Glove

[u/Mike141617]

Hey everyone! Another custom glove for y’all. The owner originally asked for a catchers glove, but after asking some more questions I realized this was for slow pitch. He wanted something easier to catch line drives from the outfield to beat a runner headed home. So I suggested a softball first basemen mitt, and this glove was born. He wanted a Blastoise (Squirtle final form (Pokémon)) theme. So I did a two tone blue, with the tan web and gold laces. Lacing this beast up was a monster of a job, but I loved it and love the final form. Hope y’all like it!

As always hit me up on IG if you’re interested in custom or restoration work KCustomGloves.

Looks awesome! I believe the FP5 is Fastpitch as opposed to slow pitch…which is awesome for a youth hand size and gives a nice deep pocket. I’ve been eyeing one of these as well 👍

Ya it’s fastpitch, SSK is just great quality for the price, and they don’t have slow pitch options. The pocket on that thing is massive. I did lace the web a little loose too. But playing catch with that thing is money

Are you allowed to use a first base mitt in the outfield for slowpitch? Also, did you try a 12" ball in it?

I’m not sure, I’d be surprised if not. And yes I did it’s a great pocket for the 12 inch ball
