Abstract;To develop position specific baseball gloves, pressure distributions on fingers and palm during the catching motion were measured by using Glove Scan system. As a result, it is found that the pressure distribution is different in each position. For example, the pressure distribution of second baseman shows high pressure in the tip of each finger. On the other hand, the pressure distribution of third baseman shows high pressure in the whole area of middle, ring, and little fingers. The force transmission was improved when we reinforce the part of the glove based on pressure distribution data. (author abst.)
