Infield gloves are smaller than those used by other players. They also have shallower, more open pockets which allows infielders to quickly transfer the ball from their glove. This is critical as infielders are always on the move and need to make quick plays.
The standard size for a baseball infield glove is 11.25 to 12 inches, and 11.5 to 12.5 inches for softball.
