Legal Glove Question
Are there any of the major rulesets which do not allow a 3rd baseman to wear a 1st basemans mitt?

Been a couple of years since I have worked it, but USSSA FP used to only allow F2 and F3 to wear mitts. I couldn't find their online rules anymore, so I am not sure if this has changed.

Yeah, but was it that long ago that ASA started allowing mitts everywhere?

That was a few years ago. 2006, maybe?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

USSSA (slow-pitch): Only 1st Base and Catcher may wear a mitt. My understanding is that USSSA normally follows ASA rules on equipment for fast-pitch. Check with your local or state USSSA director for fast-pitch on that.

It's OK in high school unless the glove measures +14 inches.
