The All-Star Pro Elite Japan J2 34” Catcher’s Mitt is a premium catcher’s mitt built for players who demand professional-level craftsmanship, a lightweight feel, and exceptional control behind the plate. Combining authentic Japanese glove styling with premium Japanese-tanned U.S. steerhide, the J2 offers a refined feel and distinctive construction designed specifically for serious catchers.
Built with Japanese-tanned U.S. Steerhide, this mitt delivers the structure and durability needed to withstand the demands of catching while allowing the leather to develop a personalized feel over time. The premium HIMEJI leather used in the construction is known for its quality and ability to hold its shape, making this a mitt designed for catchers who want both performance and long-term durability.
The 34-inch pattern provides a large, dependable receiving surface, while the two-piece closed web creates a solid target and helps maintain a consistent pocket. The J2's rotated hand pattern and streamlined construction help reduce unnecessary weight, giving the catcher a quicker, more responsive feel when receiving pitches and helping minimize forearm fatigue over the course of a game.
One of the standout features is the optimized pocket design. Low-profile padding in the thumb and pinky areas creates a larger sweet spot, helping the catcher control the ball while maintaining a comfortable, balanced feel. This design gives the mitt a roomy receiving area without making it feel overly bulky.
The J2 also incorporates traditional loose webbing, which allows the catcher to adjust the web tension to their preference. The design also promotes a quicker break-in, giving players more control over how the mitt develops its pocket and feel.
Finished in a distinctive Blonde & Tan colorway, the All-Star Pro Elite Japan J2 combines premium materials, authentic Japanese styling, and catcher-focused design in a mitt that stands out both behind the plate and in the glove collection.
