Jeff, this is very timely since my son's 1st base glove is delivering to you today. I think the box is particularly important on a 1st base glove. Quick short throws from second and 1 hop throws that require quick adjustment cause a decent amount of dropped balls last season. I believe this was due to my improper break in of his current glove. Anything on the palm or closer to the heel was the biggest issue. I realized his current glove essentially has a single hinge and unless it was in the web, it made balls difficult to catch. I'm hoping your break in will help. Keep up the videos!

Hi Alex! I’ll keep an eye out for the glove and keep you posted along the way.
How can I get info regarding a glove break in from you
Can you break in my first base glove? It’s a 44 .
