Pedroia fit glove was named after the former Major League player Dustin Pedroia. He had smaller hands. Therefore, he was in trouble finding a glove that fits well since he started practicing when he was a kid. After the baseball accessory manufacturer company Wilson noticed this, they took initiative to make a customized glove for him. The ball glove craftsman of Wilson Shigeaki Aso teaming with Dustin Pedroia developed a customized glove to solve this problem. That gloves were lined up for the players with smaller hands like Dustin Pedroia.
The wrist strap of a Pedroia fit glove is smaller than usual. The hand stalls are also a little narrow so that it fits with a smaller hand. As the gloves are tightly-fitted, the laces are a little longer than usual. You can trim the laces or keep them as it is when using the glove.
