Infielders generally prefer a smaller pattern, in the 12" to 12.5" range. This smaller size allows a quicker grab and quicker exchange of the ball to the throwing hand. There are some new designs that are almost fingerless. This allows you to scoop up that ground ball even quicker. sometimes an infielder prefers an open web like the outfielders and sometimes they like them closed to provide more stopping power and control.  Most of these gloves can also be used for Utility players as well.
