Built for the mound

The Tater Helix Web custom pitcher's glove is built from premium leather with a proprietary closed-web pattern that hides grip changes from the batter, a snug pro fit that protects pitching mechanics, and your choice of color palette and embroidery. The glove that keeps every pitch a mystery and every catch under control.

Helix Closed Web

Proprietary closed-web pattern conceals grip changes — the batter sees the same glove for every pitch, not a tell that gives away the offspeed.

Pitching-First Fit

Weight distribution and finger stalls built around pitching mechanics — the glove complements your delivery instead of fighting it.

Pro-Grade Leather

Premium hide built to flex without softening — the glove molds to your hand season after season without losing structure or shape.

⚾

Made by the Connecticut bat shop trusted by MLB hitters — now in custom pitcher's gear. Same standards, same hand-finished craftsmanship, applied to a position where every grip matters.

Tater Custom Pitcher's Glove — Built for the Mound

Custom pitcher's glove design has to solve two problems at once — conceal what your fingers are doing inside the glove, and stay out of the way of your delivery. The Tater Helix Web closed web pitcher's glove handles both. The proprietary Helix closed-web pattern blocks the batter's sight line into the pocket, so grip changes between fastball, curveball, and changeup stay invisible. The weight distribution and finger stalls are built around pitching mechanics, not borrowed from a generic infielder pattern, so the glove moves with your delivery instead of dragging behind it.

Premium leather construction means the glove molds to your hand over the first season and holds that shape for years. The customizer lets you build a pitcher's glove that's truly yours — web color, palm color, back color, lace color, and embroidered numbers, initials, or team marks.

Why pitchers pick a closed-web glove

A closed web pitcher's glove isn't a style preference — it's a competitive necessity. Open-web designs (the trapeze, single-post, and I-web styles favored by outfielders and many infielders) let the batter see through to the pitcher's hand. A sharp-eyed hitter can read a four-seam grip versus a curveball grip from 60 feet away. A closed web like the Tater Helix removes that tell, and the pitcher controls the at-bat instead of giving the hitter free intel. Every pro pitcher's glove ships with a closed-web variant for this exact reason.

Sizing and customization

The Tater custom pitcher's glove is available in standard pitcher's sizes from 11.5" to 12.5" — 11.5" for smaller hands and quicker transfers, 11.75" and 12" for most high-school and college pitchers, 12.25" and 12.5" for larger hands or pitchers who want extra surface area. 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 league and hand measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a pitcher's glove need a closed web?

A closed web on a pitcher's glove conceals your grip from the batter. The Helix Web is a tight, woven leather pattern that completely hides the seams of the baseball — so when you switch grips between fastball, curveball, and changeup, the hitter can't read it through your glove. Open-web gloves (I-Web, H-Web, single post) are designed for infielders who need to see the ball through the glove and don't work for pitchers who need to hide what's in their hand.

What size pitcher's glove should I order?

Most adult pitchers use a 12" pitcher's glove. Larger pitchers (6'2"+ frames) and pitchers with bigger hands often run 12.25" or 12.5" for the additional reach and pocket depth. Smaller pitchers and younger players typically size down to 11.5" or 11.75" for control. The Tater Helix Web Pitcher's Glove is offered in 11.5", 11.75", 12", 12.25", and 12.5" so you can dial in the right size for your hand and frame.

How long does it take to receive a custom pitcher's glove?

Tater custom pitcher's gloves are built to order in Cheshire, Connecticut with a typical lead time of 8–10 weeks. Every glove is hand-cut, hand-laced, hand-conditioned, and inspected before it ships. Pitching gloves get hard daily use — bullpens, side sessions, in-game work — so we don't ship gloves that aren't built to hold up over a full season of that.

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.
