Perhaps the most versatile infielder’s glove in the Akadema line, the AJO-9 was designed for professional shortstops, third basemen, second basemen, or pitchers. The Akadema concealed web design allows pitchers to hide the ball, hand, and wrist position so as not to tip off pitches to the hitter. Includes Akadema’s exclusive Reinforced Pocket Design and Straight-Lace Finger Design adding more strength and durability to the pocket. Hand-crafted with select U.S. Steerhide and Akadema ΒΌ” Rawhide black lacing.
