The Marucci Oxbow Series 235C1 Catcher's Mitt is a 33.5-inch professional-grade mitt designed for adult and advanced teen baseball catchers who need maximum pocket depth and secure ball retention behind the plate. Constructed from high-quality leather, this single mitt forms a deep, structured pocket that withstands the repetitive impact of high-velocity pitches while providing the stability needed to frame pitches and control the running game. The solid web design creates a closed target for pitchers and helps conceal grip signs from opposing coaches and runners. Its Black exterior accented with Pink and Mint detailing offers a distinctive visual identity on the field. Designed for use in competitive league play, travel ball tournaments, and advanced training sessions, this mitt delivers the durable performance and reliable pocket consistency that serious catchers require to anchor the defense and manage every aspect of the game from behind the plate.

Common Q&A’s:
-
How should this catcher's mitt be broken in before game use?
Work the leather by catching baseballs daily, focusing on forming the pocket in the heel and web area. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner sparingly to maintain the leather's natural structure without oversaturating. -
What is the best way to store this mitt between games to preserve its shape?
Place a baseball in the pocket and store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heavy objects that could flatten the pocket structure. -
How can I tell when this catcher's mitt needs to be replaced?
Inspect the leather regularly for cracks that extend through the grain, significant softening or collapse of the pocket, and loose lacing that cannot be retightened.
