New & Unbroken

Sandoval uses a Louisville Slugger TPX PROCF1200 with post web. Going through about four gloves a year, he sometimes rejects a new glove if it is too stiff and he can't close it easily. It takes about two weeks of extra sessions of playing catch to break in a glove for game use, though he can cut the time in half by microwaving the glove! He wets the cloth labels on the outside of the glove and nukes it for one minute.
