A mitt is a type of glove worn by fielders to catch the ball in baseball. Unlike a regular glove, a mitt has a webbed design and a deeper pocket to help trap the ball securely. It is made from leather or synthetic materials and is worn by players in positions like catcher, first baseman, and sometimes outfielders. The mitt is designed to be stiff at first, but it becomes more flexible over time as it is used. Catchers use a mitt with extra padding for protection, while first basemen use one with a wider shape to catch throws.
