first baseman's mitt
Diamond corner catcher
A first baseman's mitt is the specialized baseball glove worn by the first baseman, larger and more heavily padded than standard fielders' gloves, with a distinctive rounded edge and deep pocket designed to scoop balls from the dirt and catch hard throws from infielders.
Unlike other gloves, it lacks individual finger slots, forming a single mitt shape that maximizes surface area for catching.
