Fits Like A Glove

Sizing Charts

Age and position are the most significant factors in selecting a proper glove size. Outfielders need larger gloves with deeper pockets for maximum "catchability," while infield gloves are smaller and have shallower pockets for optimal control and speedy ball removal. Some pitchers opt for infield gloves that are slightly larger than standard, yet small and shallow enough for rapid fielding and throwing. Most younger players will benefit from youth-sized gloves that help with control, and it's a good idea to resist the temptation to buy a larger glove the child will grow into.

The tables below offer a general guideline for proper glove size by sport, position, and age.

A Good Glove Is Like A Great Friend

I remember as a kid how much I loved playing baseball. When the weekly game would come, I could hardly stand it for all of the excitement. And once the game was over, it was a long week until the next game. Something that would always help pass the time was being close to my glove.

There's just something about a well cared for, well oiled glove. The smell is amazing. The feel is just right, and it can literally become like another attachment of your body. That's how it was for me. Wherever I went, my glove was with me. The kid throwing the ball as high as he can into the air and catching it, that was me. I loved my baseball gloves, and they were with me wherever I went.

For kids who love playing ball, it's important to get them a glove they can rely on. You want a quality love that will last. So, be sure to oil and condition it well. Plus, you've gotta love that leather smell and taste (yes, I chewed on the strings). Nokona makes a quality, handmade glove that can be your friend for many years.

Nokona Leather Care

Nokona Bloodline Trap

12.75" Trap Glove. Nokona is using our proprietary Prime® Leather as the basis for the Bloodline series. The unique tanning gives Bloodline the sturdiness top Baseball players demand and the comfort they deserve. Years of work with a vast array of leathers has allowed us to develop gloves for each position on the field. From supple soft leathers in the outfield to sturdy dense leathers for our catcher's mitts, each glove has its own unique quality for play. We have added Radial Piping to the fingers and thumb to ensure top form in each glove. Using palm lamination and breathable finger stalls, this will be the best fit you will ever have in a glove.

Nokona Catcher's Mitt

Playing catcher is unlike any other position on the field. What's the easiest way to tell? The catcher's mitt is completely different. If you want to play catcher, you need a good mitt. Sure, you need good footwork and to block the ball with your whole gear, but if you plan on being a good catcher, you want a glove that will last.

I remember the first time I put on the catcher's gear. It was in 8th grade. I had primarily played shortstop and pitcher, but our team needed someone behind the plate who could block a ball and not let everyone steal all over the place. I fell in love with the position. The catching position puts you in the game in a way that is only matched to pitching. You are in on every play. You become a new sort of captain. You call the game. And if you are locked in with your pitcher and know his stuff, the other team is going to have a heck of a time trying to score on you.

Nokona catcher's gloves offer some of the finest workmanship around. These gloves are made right here in America by Texas hands. So, you know you are getting quality. Check out some of the fine catcher's mitts below.

Spring Training Breathes New Life

When spring training rolls around every year, it's like a breath of fresh air. Particularly, if you live in a 4 season city, then you know how important it is when you hear that pitchers and catchers are reporting. For me, I live in Cincinnati, and so when I hear my Redlegs are strapping it up out in Arizona, it gets my heart pumping.

Why is it so important? Because when the Boys of Summer are going through the motions in Arizona or Florida, the chains of Old Man Winter begin to be loosened. It's kind of like the return of Aslan on the White Witch's power. Winter begins to wipe away and visions of green grass, blue skies and bright uniforms begin to replace snow shovels, salty cars and cold feet. You can begin to hear the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd. You can imagine the smell of those hot dogs cooking, and at 0-0, your team is as much in first place as any other team.

Yes, Spring Training gives you life. And whether your team is lacing it up with Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno or Nokona gloves, it's time to get to work. Thank God for Spring Training and the emergence of new life and a new season of baseball!

Like a Phoenix, Nokona Rises From The Ashes

Article From 2007

Founded in 1926, Nokona Athletic Goods Company, the only U.S. company that continues to manufacture high-end baseball gloves on American soil, burned to the ground one year ago after a fire destroyed the 70-year-old building. With nothing left standing but the casts to build the baseball gloves and the spirit of its employees, Nokona has rebuilt the factory and is now rebuilding the brand to re-establish the company once again as a major contender in the baseball equipment manufacturing industry.

It did not take long for the company to get back on track - the employees worked hard at putting all the pieces together to continue to manufacture baseball gloves in the U.S., and management did the same by recruiting some of the best players in baseball to rebuild the company. One year later, Nokona has signed David "Big Papi" Ortiz, Vladimir Guerrero and Miguel Cabrera, three of the top hitters in the major leagues today, to endorse the new line of bats, "Nokona Wrecking Crew", and position the company as a big-leaguer. In addition, the Nokona baseball factory is operational 100 percent and is making more baseball gloves, bats and equipment than it did the previous years.

"Nokona is a big part of the baseball tradition and culture in this country; our employees are ecstatic. We are a small company which has been producing top quality handmade baseball gloves in Nocona, Texas, for over 75 years," said Buddy Lewis, managing partner. "This year, we introduced a new line of bats which are endorsed by David Ortiz, Vladimir Guerrero and Miguel Cabrera; and for Vladimir to win the Home Run Derby competition with a Nokona bat is an amazing achievement."

Nocona Leather Goods Company was founded in 1926, later becoming Nocona Athletic Goods Company. The Nokona baseball glove was trademarked in 1934 (spelled with a "k" when the U.S. Patent Office would not allow the name of an incorporated town to be registered). The company has continued the tradition of handmade, American-made baseball gloves to this day, with the addition of a few sewing and die-cutting machines.
