There's nothing in the world like a great baseball game. Whether you're in a league yourself or just love playing catch in the backyard (and who doesn't?), you need a baseball glove that feels just right. From Rawlings to Wilson to the budget-friendly Franklin, we've picked our absolute favorites.

Okay, it's tough to just glance over anything that says "limited edition", right? But this is an incredibly high quality glove made from the top 5% of all hides and specifically recommended for elite players.

Smaller hands need a good youth glove, and this under $50 pick is modeled after Kris Bryant's style of glove. It's the perfect choice for second and third basemen as well as shortstops.

Rawlings' classic Heart of the Hide series is constructed from top of the line professional grade leather laces and padding. The thermoformed hand opening also allows for excellent breathability.

Two words: impact protection. While the basket weave of this glove makes it compatible with nearly any position, the padding is especially helpful at first base.

Classic, simple, and under $80, the Wilson A700's blonde full grain leather makes this an easy glove to break in - helpful for those who merely want an option to slip on without fuss.

Wilson's Fastpitch baseball glove is ideal for players from Little League all the way up through college, and we particularly like the A1000 for its custom fit back wrist lacing system.

The thin heel pad on the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin is designed for quick breaking in as well as better closure. This one is Wilson's most popular infield pick for a reason.

$20 doesn't usually get you much when it comes to good sporting equipment, but this Franklin I Web is the exception that proves the rule, it seems! Lightweight, adjustable, and durable, this is the perfect glove for hobby baseball lovers.

Louisville Slugger, a huge name in baseball bats, also knows how to make a solid glove! The Genesis, in particular, is a great pick for kiddos learning to play.
