Mizuno has combined its 100 years of ball glove making experience with the latest in bio-mechanical science to develop the world’s best ball glove: Mizuno Pro with 4D Technology.
Historically, ball gloves were created using static, paper-based patterns made to “fit” the hand with little to no attention given to the “dynamic” of the hand. Utilizing state of the art technology, Mizuno has researched the dynamics of catching using data from the best players in the world. As a result, we have created position specific ball gloves that are designed with the requirements of the position in mind.
4D Technology™ features position specific patterns for ball glove pockets and internal reinforcements based on the dynamics of the hand while catching.
3D Technology™ features position-specific patterns for ball glove pockets. Each glove is designed with input from the best defensive players in professional baseball.
Mizuno’s exclusive ParaShock™ palm pad absorbs the shock of repeated use providing outstanding protection and ideal comfort.
Power Close® makes it easier for younger players to close the glove and catch the ball. Makes catching easy!
Power Close 2™ features an exclusive outer thumb slot to improve each glove’s “closeability”.
