How to Keep Your Baseball or Softball Glove in Great Playing Shape
A well-maintained glove can last for years and deliver peak performance every game. The key to longevity is proper care, from breaking it in the right way to regular cleaning and storage.
Breaking in your glove naturally through play is best—avoid harmful shortcuts like soaking, microwaving, or extreme heat, which can damage the leather. Keep it dry by storing it in a cool place and letting it air-dry naturally if it gets wet. Regularly wipe off dirt, use a light conditioner when needed, and maintain its shape with a softball in the pocket or a specialized shaping system like Webgem.
Check laces often and replace them when frayed. To protect your glove from sweat and oils, wear a batting glove inside during hot weather. By following these expert tips, your glove will stay game-ready, helping you perform at your best on the field.
