ABSTRACT:
A device for training or breaking in a baseball glove or mitt includes a pair of longitudinal webs or straps that are disposed in spaced apart relationship, and a plurality of lateral webs or straps secured to the longitudinal straps in parallel, spaced apart relationship. The lateral straps are disposed to be secured about the baseball mitt to compress the mitt about a baseball disposed within the pocket of the mitt. An upper lateral strap is disposed to encircle the upper end portion of the mitt, a medial lateral strap is disposed to encircle the medial portion of the mitt, and a lower lateral strap is disposed to encircle the heel portion of the mitt. The lateral straps are formed of a resilient elastic material, and include adjustable fasteners such as hook and loop fabric patches at opposed ends. The fasteners permit the lateral straps to be secured about mitts of various sizes, and the elastic tension of the straps applies a constant constricting force to the mitt. The longitudinal straps may be formed of a woven web material, such as cotton, Nylon, or the like, and are provided in part to maintain the spacing and assembly of the lateral straps. The longitudinal straps also include adjustable fasteners such as hook and loop fabric patches at opposed ends, so that the like opposed ends of the longitudinal straps may be joined to form loops. These loops retain the mitt within the encircling lateral straps, and also serve as convenient handles for carrying, transporting, and hanging the mitt from a hook or other support.
