All-Star's CM3000 is adding a true Junior size. This 31.5 inch Pro-Elite model combines all the benefits of the larger sizes in a more appropriate fit for hard core youth players. Hands down, this is the glove that young catcher's dream about. Only the finest materials and hand craftsmanship are used to make these exceptional mitts. Exclusive Japanese tanned steer hide allows for fast break in and extended life. The soft tan leather pocket allows for great feel and gives the ball that extra POP which pitchers love to hear. The black leather backing is stiffer, and gives the mitt the right amount of support and increases its life. We recommend not putting anything on the mitt to help break it in. The best way to break in your All-Star mitt is to just constantly use it. - Youth travel-team model - 31.5 inch catcher's model - Closed web - Exclusive Japanese tanned steer hide leather - Stiffer, black back leather for added support
