The Mizuno Franchise GXF90B5 is a 12.5-inch baseball first base mitt for a player who wants leather construction, comfortable padding and a position-specific receiving shape. The black-and-tan design gives it a familiar baseball look, with a pocket built for catching throws around the bag.
Full-grain leather and laced binding provide the mitt’s structure. Mizuno’s hand-based pattern places the pocket under the web so the mitt can be shaped around the way the player receives the ball. HiLo lacing uses an alternating arrangement to give the web flexibility while retaining its support.
A ParaShock+ palm pad helps absorb impact from repeated catches. MZO lining moves perspiration away from the skin, adding comfort through longer practices and games. This right-hand-throw mitt is worn on the left hand. It is a first-base model, rather than a utility glove intended for use at multiple fielding positions.
