Ballglove Leather Explained
Leather Types in Baseball Gloves
Baseball gloves are crafted from different types of leather, each offering unique characteristics in feel, durability, and break-in time.
Common Leather Types
- 🐄 Cowhide – Soft, affordable, and quick to break in. Great for youth and beginners but less durable under heavy use.
- 💪 Steerhide – Strong, heavy, and durable. Holds shape well but requires a longer break-in. Popular with high school and college players.
- ⚡ Kip Leather – Lightweight and smooth, made from younger cattle. Offers excellent durability with a faster break-in. Often found in professional-level gloves.
