Very impressed with the complete quality of this glove. There is no doubt, the Capitol Series is on the same level as Wilson A2K/Rawlings Pro Preferred tier of the market. The pattern is unique and ideal for third basemen and the middle infielder who like a bigger glove (11.75). When formed with a "thumb/pinky break," it is ideal for the hot corner as the pocket molds deeper and takes a wider surface area to snag hot shots. Can easily be molded "thumb/index" for the middle infielder who wants a quick transfer and shallower pocket. Very nice pattern that molds well due to the extra mid-finger welts for support of mold. Love the leather patch logo, smooth kip liner, and stampless palm. Appreciate the top of the line laces, as well. WELL DONE, MARUCCI!
