As for gear, my wife would not let me go buy her any. She was only 8, wasn't sure if she would stick with it...all good points. Until another girl wanted to try catching and put the helmet on and started adjusting straps. I finally had the green light to get her some. We settled on the Easton Natural from top to bottom. Since the organization we play with supplied gear and a catcher's mitt to each team, even though we bought her own gear, they did buy her a left handed mitt. It is a Lousville Slugger, but I am not sure what model. I didn't have anything to do with ordering it, so I am not 100% sure.
As for mitts, has anyone gotten their DD a Worth Liberty Custom? I think that would be cool to do when she gets older.
I will probably look at a Mizuno for her next mitt. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
