Marucci Ascension M Type 240C2 34" Fastpitch Catcher's Mitt
The Marucci Ascension M Type MFGASFP240C2 is a 34" fastpitch catcher's mitt built for the demands of the most physically intense position on the field. Featuring Marucci's M Type fit system with integrated thumb and pinky sleeves, premium tight-grain steerhide leather, and dual-density memory foam cushioning, this mitt delivers the durability, comfort, and ball control that elite fastpitch catchers need to frame pitches, block in the dirt, and fire to the bases with confidence.
Designed for the Elite Fastpitch Catcher
Catching in fastpitch softball is uniquely demanding—you're receiving high-velocity pitches, blocking balls in the dirt, and making quick, accurate throws to hold runners. The 34" Ascension 240C2 catcher's mitt is purpose-built for all of it. The deep pocket secures every pitch, the steerhide exterior handles repeated impacts without breaking down, and the M Type fit system keeps the mitt snugly in place so you can focus entirely on calling the game and commanding the infield.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size catcher's mitt is used in fastpitch softball?
Fastpitch catcher's mitts are measured by circumference. The Marucci Ascension 240C2 is 34", which is a standard fastpitch catcher's mitt size. Most competitive fastpitch catchers use mitts in the 33"–34.5" range. The 34" size provides a balanced combination of pocket size and maneuverability behind the plate.
How is a catcher's mitt different from a regular softball glove?
Catcher's mitts have no individual finger stalls like a fielder's glove. Instead, the hand inserts into a unified pocket with a single thumb stall. This construction allows the catcher to properly frame pitches, block balls in the dirt, and absorb the repeated impact of high-velocity pitching—something a regular glove cannot safely handle over a full season.
How do I break in a fastpitch catcher's mitt?
Apply a quality leather conditioner to all surfaces of the mitt, paying special attention to the pocket and hinge. Close the mitt around a softball and secure it with a rubber band or in a glove wrap overnight. Have a pitcher throw full-speed into the glove from the first session—catching pitches is the most effective break-in method for catchers. Repeat for several days for a fully formed pocket.
Is the MFGASFP240C2 only available in right-hand throw?
Yes, the Marucci Ascension 240C2 catcher's mitt is available in right-hand throw only. The vast majority of catchers are right-handed throwers, which is why most catcher's mitts are produced in RHT only. If you need a left-hand throw catcher's mitt, contact our team and we can help you find the right option.
