Built for two-way players
The Tater custom infield glove with the Mod Trap Loop web is built for middle infielders and pitchers who do both jobs — concealment for hiding grip changes on the mound, agility and quick transfers for turning two in the infield. Reinforced leather loop at the top of the web adds structural security on high-velocity catches and rocket grounders.
Mod Trap Loop Web
Modified Trap pattern with a reinforced leather loop — closed enough to hide grips, rigid enough for the quick transfers infielders need.
Two-Way Fit

Pro-Grade Leather
Premium hide built to flex without softening — the glove molds to your hand over the first season and holds shape for years after.
⚾

Tater Custom Infield Glove — Built for Both Sides of the Ball

Custom infield glove design has to handle a lot of jobs in a single piece of leather — quick transfers for the double play, deep enough pocket to secure a hard-hit grounder, structural rigidity for backhanded snags, and (for two-way players who also pitch) enough concealment to hide grip changes on the mound. The Tater Mod Trap Loop infield glove handles all of it. The Modified Trap web with a reinforced leather loop sits halfway between an open pitcher's web and a deep middle infielder pocket — concealed enough for the mound, agile enough for the 6.

This baseball infield glove is built specifically for the middle-infield-meets-pitcher crossover that's common at the high school, college, and travel-ball level. Premium leather construction means the glove molds to your hand over the first season and holds shape for years. The customizer lets you build a glove that's truly yours — web color, palm color, back color, lace color, and embroidered numbers, initials, or team marks.

Why the Mod Trap Loop is a two-way player's glove

The Modified Trap with a reinforced loop is one of the most versatile web styles in baseball. A standard closed pitcher's glove is great on the mound but feels heavy and slow when you turn a double play. A standard infielder glove (with an I-Web or open Trap) feels great in the dirt but lets the batter see your pitch grip when you take the mound. The Mod Trap Loop splits the difference — the Modified Trap pattern provides enough concealment to hide grip changes from a sharp-eyed hitter, and the reinforced loop at the top of the web adds the structural integrity middle infielders need on transfers and tag plays. It's the glove for the two-way player who's tired of switching gloves between innings.

Sizing and customization

The Tater custom infield glove is available in the sizes that overlap pitcher and middle-infield use — 11.5", 11.75", 12", and 12.25". 11.5" is the most common middle infield size and works for pitchers with smaller hands. 11.75" and 12" cover most high-school and college two-way players. 12.25" runs a bit larger for corner infielders or pitchers with bigger hands. Customize web color, palm color, back color, lace color, and add embroidered numbers, initials, or team marks. If you're not sure on size, the Tater team can help you pick based on your position and hand measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What positions does the Mod Trap Loop Infield Glove work best for?
The Modified Trap Loop web is a hybrid open/closed pattern that works well for middle infielders (2B and SS) who want a slightly more closed pocket than a true I-Web or single post, and for two-way pitchers who play infield in some games and pitch in others. The closed-loop element conceals grip enough to function as a pitcher's glove when you take the mound, while the open trap pattern still gives infielders the ball visibility they need for clean transfers. It's the glove built for players who don't fit cleanly into one position.
What size custom infield glove do I need?
Adult middle infielders typically use 11.5"–12" gloves, with quicker, smaller-handed players favoring 11.5"–11.75" for faster transfers and taller, longer-armed players going 12"–12.25" for more reach. Third basemen often size up slightly to 11.75"–12.25" for the extra reach at the hot corner. The Tater Custom Mod Trap Loop Infield Glove is offered in 11.5", 11.75", 12", and 12.25" so you can pick what matches your hand and position.
Is the Mod Trap Loop legal for pitchers in NCAA and high school?
Yes — the Modified Trap Loop web qualifies as a closed-web pattern under NFHS and NCAA rules for pitchers because the loop element prevents the batter from seeing grip changes through the glove. It's why two-way players especially like it: one glove for both positions instead of switching between an infield I-Web and a pitcher's closed web. Confirm with your specific league rulebook for any local restrictions before using it in regulation play.
How do I break in my new Tater custom glove?
Plan on 4–8 weeks of intentional break-in. Week 1: apply a thin layer of glove conditioner, let it absorb 24 hours, then start hand-flexing the leather daily (no ball yet). Weeks 2–3: wrap a ball into the pocket with a glove band or lace overnight, every night. During the day take light catch and easy throws — no hard line drives yet. Weeks 4–5: move to live catching, position-appropriate reps. Week 6+: game-ready. Avoid microwaves, ovens, and the "break-in shortcuts" you find online — they soften the leather temporarily but destroy long-term structure. Slow break-in builds a glove that lasts five to seven seasons; fast break-in builds a glove that bags out in one.
How do I care for my Tater leather glove?
Routine care: wipe down after every game with a dry cloth, apply a thin layer of glove conditioner every 3–4 weeks during the season, inspect laces monthly and re-lace if any are fraying, store with a ball in the pocket wrapped in a glove band, and keep the glove indoors at room temperature — not in a car trunk or damp basement. Use only dedicated baseball glove conditioner (lanolin-based). Avoid mink oil, petroleum jelly, vaseline, motor oil, and any internet "softening" hacks — they ruin long-term structure. End-of-season: one heavier conditioning treatment, store wrapped in a temperate environment.
What's the difference between steerhide and kip leather?
Steerhide is heavier, thicker, and more durable — built for hard daily use over multiple seasons. It takes longer to break in (closer to 6–8 weeks) but holds its shape for years. Kip leather is lighter, softer, and breaks in faster (closer to 4–6 weeks) — preferred by players who want a game-ready feel sooner and don't mind replacing the glove a season earlier. Both are MLB-supplier grade. Steerhide is the traditional pro choice for catchers and infielders who take heavy reps. Kip is the modern preference for outfielders and showcase players who want a softer, more responsive feel out of the box. Both options are available across the Tater glove line.
Do you offer team or bulk discounts on custom gloves?
Yes — team and bulk glove pricing is available for orders of 6 or more custom gloves. Contact our team sales desk through /pages/contact-us with your roster size, position breakdown, and timing. We'll send a custom quote within one business day. Note: glove build time is 8–10 weeks regardless of order size, so plan team orders accordingly — submit the order at least 12 weeks before your target delivery date to leave room for spec confirmation, production, and shipping.
What is the warranty on Tater custom gloves?
Every Tater custom glove ships with a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Lacing repairs are covered for the life of the glove — if a lace breaks under normal use, send the glove back and we'll re-lace it. Structural defects (stitching failures, panel issues, or leather defects beyond normal break-in) are covered for the first 6 months from delivery, provided the glove has been used and cared for per our guidelines (proper break-in, no extreme heat or moisture exposure, dedicated baseball glove conditioner only). Damage from external causes (cleats, dogs, lawn mowers) isn't covered but we can usually repair them for a flat fee — contact us with photos.
