Everybody that plays baseball has a different opinion on how a baseball glove should be broken in. If you were to ask several major league baseball players, you would find out that they use many different methods. One of the best ways is using foam shaving cream. Another way is to use glove oil that you can purchase at any sporting goods store. There is also what is called “The Hot Glove” treatment.

First of all, the most popular way to break a baseball glove in these days is by using plain out foam shaving cream. You need to put the shaving cream on the glove and rub it in until it disappears. There is myth that you can drop the glove in a bucket of shaving cream and leave it in the bucket overnight or until it disappears and then the glove is ready. This might work for you, but I tried it and I ruined a very expensive baseball glove so I would suggest you not doing this. You should put the shaving cream on it about every 30 days for about 3 or 4 months.

Secondly, you can use glove oil that you can purchase at any sporting goods store. You just need to apply the oil to the glove and rub it in. You need to do this about once a month until the glove gets broken in like you want it.

Finally, there is what is called “The Hot Glove” treatment. If you decide to do this, you put special foam on your glove and then bake it in your oven for 4 minutes. You can also purchase this method at any sporting goods store. Many people say this is not a good way to break a glove in, but others swear by it. This way is also the newest method.

After you use which ever method you want to break in your glove, you still are not completely done. The last and most important step is to use the glove. You can just play catch with another person or you can go to a batting cage with pitching machines and catch the ball coming from the pitching machine. All these methods will work, it all depends on what one you prefer to use.
