From innovative sports apparel to ultra-high end protective equipment, the Under Armour crest can been seen emblazoned on the gear worn by some of the world's best athletes. And now that passion to create better athletes through design has led to the development of their Pro, Deception, and Framer Series catchers mitts. The Framer Series UACM-100Y was designed specifically for the demands of younger Travel Ball players with its soft leather palm and synthetic backing. This combination gives you a solid blend of durability and weight reduction - which is extremely important for players who are still developing their skills behind the dish. Each Under Armour catchers mitt features a very wide, deep pocket that creates the perfect target for pitchers and improves the catcher's ability to receive the ball efficiently. With such a deep pocket, some may have concerns about securing the ball on close plays at the plate, but the thicker heel and toe padding that the Framer Series offers ensures that the baseball stays securely in the mitt. These mitts are also insanely durable. Inside, PTH Padding runs the length of the palm to prevent sting and also improves the longevity of the leather where it experiences the most wear and tear. And with a vertically laced web and pocket, the chances of a snapped lace or worn web is greatly reduced. RHT
