I use a KB17 which is 12.25" when I play IF/Pitch. I can't think of a time where it hasn't been enough glove for me. I play 1st with a 13" mitt though, couldn't use something smaller for that.
Exactly. We do soft swings to place the ball in 16" every game. It's called strategy and everyone who is mad about it is just mad that they can't do it.
If you don't want to get forcefully tagged don't play the game. I was taught to tag with authority so no one can questions whether you tagged them or not. I'm not letting you just run into my glove, I'm tagging you. The runner should've never even considered going and then should've just given...
