These gloves were bought to replace a pair of gloves from another brand that my son tore putting on his hands for the first time. These gloves are snug fitting but good quality and give him a great grip on the bat. His current bat wrap is a little slippery but these compensate for that without having to get the bat rewrapped. They seem like they will hold up well for this baseball season. The stitching is very strong, I put my hand in them and it didn’t cause any tearing or issues.
