The Marucci Oxbow Lizard Skins Martian is a 32" catcher's mitt built around a concept that has never been done inside a glove before. The palm lining features Lizard Skins DSP Ultra texture, the same grip technology that players have used on bat handles for years, now engineered into the interior of a catcher's mitt. The result is a palm surface that delivers three times the static friction of a standard leather lining, giving catchers dramatically improved grip strength, better leverage on the mitt, and more precise glove control on every pitch, block, and transfer. The technology is a genuine first in the glove industry, and the performance difference is immediately apparent.
The exterior of the mitt is built on Marucci's premium Japanese-tanned steerhide leather, a hide chosen for its combination of structure and rugged long-term durability that holds up through the grind of a full catching schedule. The 220C1 pattern is cut with a deep pocket and pro tapered fit, giving the mitt the shape and depth catchers need to secure pitches cleanly and frame the strike zone with authority. Marucci's M Type fit system integrates thumb and pinky sleeves into the mitt with enhanced thumb stall cushioning, maximizing comfort and responsiveness across the full catching hand. Inside the wrist, a moisture-wicking mesh lining with dual-density memory foam padding keeps the hand dry and protected through extended catching sessions. Professional-grade rawhide laces complete the build, providing maximum tear-resistance and structural integrity over time.
The Martian colorway gives the mitt a look that is as bold as its technology. A black steerhide base is paired with neon green laces, yellow and green accent stitching, and vibrant teal and purple graphic detailing across the exterior, finished with the Marucci logo embroidered in yellow outlined in green on the back of the hand. For catchers who want elite-level palm grip technology, premium leather construction, and a design that stands out behind the plate, the Oxbow Lizard Skins Martian delivers on all three.

Q&A
Q: What is Lizard Skins DSP Ultra and why does it matter in a catcher's mitt?
Lizard Skins DSP (Durasoft Polymer) is a grip material most commonly found on bat handles, where it has been widely used for its high-tack texture and shock absorption. Marucci engineered the same material into the palm lining of this mitt, creating a surface with three times the static friction of standard leather. For a catcher, that translates to a more secure grip on the mitt during transfers, better control when framing pitches, and improved leverage when blocking balls in the dirt. It is the first time this technology has been applied inside a glove.
Q: What is the M Type fit system?
Marucci's M Type fit system builds integrated thumb and pinky sleeves directly into the mitt structure, along with enhanced cushioning in the thumb stall. This gives the catching hand a more tailored, glove-like feel rather than the looser fit of a traditional catcher's mitt, improving responsiveness and connection between the hand and the mitt on every catch.
Q: Is the Oxbow Lizard Skins Martian designed for youth or adult catchers?
The 32" Martian is an adult-sized catcher's mitt appropriate for high school, college, and adult league catchers. Catchers at the youth level typically use smaller mitt sizes. If you are purchasing for a younger player, verify the appropriate size for their age and league before selecting.
Q: What throw configuration is this mitt available in?
The MFGOXLS220C1-MAR is available in right hand throw only, meaning it is worn on the left hand by a catcher who throws with their right hand. A left hand throw version is not available in this specific model and colorway.
