Valle Eagle Switch Pancake ambidextrous infield training glove — white leather, flat pancake design for two-handed fielding

Built in Valle white leather with a soft, flexible feel, this pancake-style training mitt works for left- and right-handed throwers so teams and coaches can share one trainer for repeated reps. It removes a deep pocket from the equation to emphasize hand placement, quick transfers, and consistent technique when practicing grounders, short hops, and turn mechanics.

How does this glove improve infield fundamentals?

The flat, shallow shape forces players to use both hands and proper wrist position instead of relying on catching in a deep pocket. Repeating reps with the Valle Eagle Switch Pancake creates muscle memory for quicker transfers and cleaner turns, helping players make routine plays more reliably during games.

• Promotes two-handed fielding and secure funneling of the ball
• Encourages faster ball-to-hand transfers for quicker throws
• Removes pocket dependency so footwork and angles become the focus

Can both left- and right-handed players use the same glove?

Yes — the Valle Eagle Switch Pancake is ambidextrous by design, letting coaches and families rotate the same trainer between left- and right-handed throwers. That universal fit keeps practice efficient and reduces the number of specialized mitts needed during team sessions.

• Ambidextrous, usable on either hand for switching drill work
• Ideal for shared team training, clinics, and small-group practice
• Simplifies equipment needs for youth teams and families
