A baseball glove is a specialized piece of equipment used by players in the sport of baseball. It is designed to help catch and field the ball, providing a larger surface area than a bare hand. Made from leather or synthetic materials, gloves come in various sizes and styles to suit different positions, such as pitcher, catcher, or outfielder. The glove features a pocket to securely hold the ball and a webbing between the fingers for added flexibility. Players often break in their gloves to improve performance and comfort. Proper care, including cleaning and conditioning, helps maintain the glove's shape and durability over time.
