Question for Pitchers

[catomi01]

Playing in a couple of semi-competitive leagues now as a pitcher. I've always used a 14" Miken SuperSoft glove, for the main reason that its big, and well broken in. My catcher pointed out that the laces have become stretched enough that you can actually see the grip I have on the ball before I deliver the pitch - not as big a deal as in baseball obviously, but still something in the back of my mind. I don't really want to tighten it up, because I like the way it feels (especially when I move over to slowpitch), so I was thinking of getting a different glove.

Most decent quality gloves seem to have some variant of an open web though, so my question is, what are you guys using on the mound?

Don't overthink things. There's really only 2 different grips that you can pick up...knuckleball or non-knuckleball. Just go pitch with the glove you have.
If the batters are checking out your grip in the glove, then they aren't focused on their hitting, imo.

Just make sure to get set before the hit if you're using a big heavy glove. The catcher might be able to see through the laces but I doubt the batter will ever notice.

Shouldn't matter. It's not like the batter doesn't have time to pick up the rotation of the ball on the way in.

I say keep it how it is if it's working.
