Infield Gloves
In the infield, these gloves are money. They have everything a infielder needs. When you play up the middle, you need a glove with a smaller pocket.

infield glove with a smaller pocket makes it easier to find the ball and get rid of it a lot quicker. If you play third base you need a couple of different specifications. You want to keep the pocket smaller in size as well as you also need to make fast transfers. But, the length of the glove has to be longer. When that happens, you are able to make more plays because you will have a couple more inches of range.
Outfield Gloves
In the outfield, it is imperative you have specific features to your glove. While you play in the outfield, you need a glove that has a very deep pocket and is very long in length. When you have a glove that has a very deep pocket, you are able to hang on to all the balls hit your way. It is difficult to hold onto the long fly balls or the diving catches. So, the deep pocket does a good job holding the ball. The length is good as well as you will be able to make the outstretched plays you weren't able to make before.
