catchers mitt
Padded backstop handwear
A catcher's mitt is the padded leather glove worn by a baseball catcher, distinguished from other fielders' gloves by its extra padding and lack of individual finger slots.
The mitt's round, heavily cushioned design helps absorb the impact of pitched balls.
Figuratively, to have a face like a catcher's mitt suggests weathered, rough features.
