Marucci Ascension M Type 97A6 12.5" T-Web Fastpitch Glove
The Marucci Ascension M Type MFGASFP97A6 is a versatile 12.5" T-Web fastpitch glove engineered for pitchers and outfielders who need the perfect combination of concealment, reach, and control. With a deep pocket and closed T-Web design, this glove hides your pitch grip from batters while giving outfielders the catching surface needed to run down fly balls in the gaps. Available in both right-hand throw and left-hand throw.
T-Web Design: Built for Pitchers and Outfielders
The T-Web is the most popular web style among fastpitch pitchers because the closed web completely conceals your hand from the batter—eliminating any visual cues about your grip or pitch type. At 12.5" with a deep pocket, the 97A6 also transitions seamlessly to outfield duty, giving players who pitch and play the outfield a single elite glove that excels at both positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fastpitch pitchers prefer a T-Web glove?
The T-Web is a closed web design, meaning batters cannot see your hand or ball grip through the web when you're in your wind-up. This is crucial in fastpitch softball where pitch concealment gives pitchers a competitive edge. The 12.5" size also provides enough coverage to secure your glove against your body comfortably during delivery.
Can the 97A6 T-Web be used as an outfield glove?
Yes. The 12.5" size and deep pocket make the Ascension 97A6 an excellent dual-purpose glove. Many fastpitch players who pitch and also play outfield use this model for both roles, avoiding the need to switch gloves. The deep pocket excels at securing fly balls in the outfield.
Is the Marucci Ascension 97A6 available in left-hand throw?
Yes! The MFGASFP97A6 is available in both right-hand throw (RHT) and left-hand throw (LHT), making it one of the most versatile models in the Ascension series. Be sure to select the correct throw orientation when ordering.
What does "deep depth" mean for a softball glove?
Depth refers to how far back the ball sits in the pocket when caught. A deep pocket creates a larger, more secure catching area ideal for outfielders and pitchers—both of whom need to secure the ball quickly and confidently before throwing. Infielders typically prefer shallower pockets for faster transfers.
