Catcher Glove Break-in Service | Baseball & Softball
We’re known for some of the best Steerhide leather in the game — strong, durable, and built to last. The only catch? Elite leather takes time to break in… until now. Our professional break-in machine eliminates weeks of painful break-in time, without compromising the integrity of the Catcher baseball or softball glove.
Unlike steam, water, or DIY shortcuts that can dry out leather, weaken structure, and shorten a glove’s lifespan, our break-in machine uses controlled pressure and natural motion to soften the glove the right way — no heat, no moisture, no damage. Steam and water force moisture into the leather, which can lead to premature breakdown, loss of shape and pocket integrity, and stiff, brittle leather over time.
Our machine softens your first basement glove evenly, maintains firmness where it matters — the palm, heel, and laces — and forms a clean, playable pocket without over-flattening. With our optional break-in service, your glove arrives 70–80% broken in — game-ready out of the box. You save time, skip the frustration, and still get to finish breaking it in naturally, allowing the glove to mold perfectly to your hand and playing style. For a small added fee, you get premium Steerhide leather — broken in the right way, from day one.
