This is a Louisville Slugger, made in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. It shows signs of use, but still retains its stiffness and I think it can still be used. It's a compact hardball catcher's mitt. It will be handed over as is, so please judge from the images. It's recommended for your child's pitching practice. The atmosphere is completely different when throwing towards a catcher's mitt compared to a regular glove ^^ Why not put this on and join your child's pitching practice?
