Built for the pivot

The Tater custom second base glove with the One Piece web is built around a single mission — the fastest possible transfer on the double play. The solid one-piece leather face eliminates the gaps and leather strips that slow the ball down on its way out of the pocket, while the smaller infielder sizing keeps the glove fast and tight on the pivot.

One Piece Web

Solid leather face — no strips, no gaps, no snags. The ball clears the pocket clean, every time.

Pivot-Fast Sizing

11.25" and 11.5" only — the size range that lets second basemen turn two without the bat-flip drag of an oversized glove.

Pro-Grade Leather

Premium hide built to flex without softening — the glove molds to your hand over the first season and holds shape for years.

Tater Custom Second Base Glove — Built for the Pivot

Custom second base glove design comes down to one position-specific demand — the speed of the transfer from glove to throwing hand on a double play. Every other infield position prioritizes range or arm strength; the second baseman wins or loses with the pivot. The Tater One Piece web is built specifically for that moment. The solid one-piece leather face eliminates the leather strips that exist on every other web style (I-Web, H-Web, Trap, even Modified Trap), and that means the ball comes out clean without a single snag.

Pair that web design with infielder-specific 11.25" and 11.5" sizing — smaller than middle infield SS gloves and significantly smaller than corner infield options — and you get a baseball second base glove built around quickness, control, and the kind of feel that makes a turn-two look effortless. The custom infield glove customization includes web color, palm color, back color, lace color, and embroidery for numbers, initials, or team marks.

Why second basemen pick the One Piece web

The second baseman's job description changes the math on glove design. A shortstop needs to range to both sides, throw on the run, and snag balls in the hole — their I-Web is built for visibility and reach. A third baseman needs to handle one-hop rockets — their glove is built for rigidity. The second baseman is the only position where the entire game rides on how fast the

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the One Piece Web specifically built for second base?

The One Piece Web is a single solid leather panel between the thumb and forefinger of the glove — no open lattice, no lacing, no cross-strips. Second basemen turn more double plays than any other infielder, and a One Piece Web makes the ball-to-hand transfer faster because there's no web friction slowing the ball out of the pocket. The shallow pocket also keeps the ball higher in the glove for quicker exchanges to the bare hand. It's the most position-specific infield web pattern on the market.

What size second base glove do I need?

Second basemen use the smallest gloves in the infield — typically 11.25"–11.5" — because the position demands the fastest transfers and you don't need the reach a shortstop or third baseman does. Smaller-handed and quicker-twitch players run 11.25"; bigger or longer-armed second basemen run 11.5". The Tater Custom Second Base Glove is offered in 11.25" and 11.5" — both sized specifically for the position.

Can a second baseman use a One Piece Web glove from another position?

A second baseman could swing a shortstop or middle infield glove (I-Web, single post) but you'd give up transfer speed on double plays — and double plays are where second basemen win or lose innings. The One Piece Web is purpose-built for the position. If you're primarily a second baseman, build the glove for the position. If you split time at multiple infield spots, consider the V-Web Utility Infield Glove or Single Post Web Middle Infield Glove instead.

How do I break in my new Tater custom glove?

Plan on 4–8 weeks of intentional break-in. Week 1: apply a thin layer of glove conditioner, let it absorb 24 hours, then start hand-flexing the leather daily (no ball yet). Weeks 2–3: wrap a ball into the pocket with a glove band or lace overnight, every night. During the day take light catch and easy throws — no hard line drives yet. Weeks 4–5: move to live catching, position-appropriate reps. Week 6+: game-ready. Avoid microwaves, ovens, and the "break-in shortcuts" you find online — they soften the leather temporarily but destroy long-term structure. Slow break-in builds a glove that lasts five to seven seasons; fast break-in builds a glove that bags out in one.

How do I care for my Tater leather glove?

Routine care: wipe down after every game with a dry cloth, apply a thin layer of glove conditioner every 3–4 weeks during the season, inspect laces monthly and re-lace if any are fraying, store with a ball in the pocket wrapped in a glove band, and keep the glove indoors at room temperature — not in a car trunk or damp basement. Use only dedicated baseball glove conditioner (lanolin-based). Avoid mink oil, petroleum jelly, vaseline, motor oil, and any internet "softening" hacks — they ruin long-term structure. End-of-season: one heavier conditioning treatment, store wrapped in a temperate environment.

What's the difference between steerhide and kip leather?

Steerhide is heavier, thicker, and more durable — built for hard daily use over multiple seasons. It takes longer to break in (closer to 6–8 weeks) but holds its shape for years. Kip leather is lighter, softer, and breaks in faster (closer to 4–6 weeks) — preferred by players who want a game-ready feel sooner and don't mind replacing the glove a season earlier. Both are MLB-supplier grade. Steerhide is the traditional pro choice for catchers and infielders who take heavy reps. Kip is the modern preference for outfielders and showcase players who want a softer, more responsive feel out of the box. Both options are available across the Tater glove line.

Do you offer team or bulk discounts on custom gloves?

Yes — team and bulk glove pricing is available for orders of 6 or more custom gloves. Contact our team sales desk through /pages/contact-us with your roster size, position breakdown, and timing. We'll send a custom quote within one business day. Note: glove build time is 8–10 weeks regardless of order size, so plan team orders accordingly — submit the order at least 12 weeks before your target delivery date to leave room for spec confirmation, production, and shipping.

What is the warranty on Tater custom gloves?

Every Tater custom glove ships with a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Lacing repairs are covered for the life of the glove — if a lace breaks under normal use, send the glove back and we'll re-lace it. Structural defects (stitching failures, panel issues, or leather defects beyond normal break-in) are covered for the first 6 months from delivery, provided the glove has been used and cared for per our guidelines (proper break-in, no extreme heat or moisture exposure, dedicated baseball glove conditioner only). Damage from external causes (cleats, dogs, lawn mowers) isn't covered but we can usually repair them for a flat fee — contact us with photos.
