Step 1
Shop for a left-handed baseball glove by first remembering that you'll be trying it on the right hand. If the player is left-handed, the glove is worn on the right hand.
-
Step 2
Know that not all stores with a sporting goods department carry left-handed baseball gloves. Because the majority of people are right-handed, a left-handed player may have to go to a specialty sporting goods store to buy a glove.

Step 3
Decide what kind of left-handed baseball glove you want to buy. An outfielder's glove is bigger in size than an infielder's glove. It will help to know what position will be played before you go to buy a baseball glove.
-
Step 4
Consider the difference in a first-baseman's mitt, if that is the position to be played. A first-baseman's mitt is totally different from the others. It simply has a pocket and no fingers. It is bigger than a regular-sized mitt. When you go to buy a left-handed baseball glove, be sure to mention that you're looking for a first-baseman glove, if applicable.

Step 5
Be aware that there is a wide price range and variety to choose from. You may not want to buy the most expensive one on the market, especially for a beginner. But look for one that is made of leather that is not so hard. The glove will be easier to break in if it is made of a more flexible type of leather.
