First base mitts have a specialized curved pocket designed specifically for scooping short hops and securing thrown balls. For competitive fastpitch play, a dedicated first base mitt is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MFGASFP39S2 available for left-handed first basemen?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes!
