“Infielder gloves, outfielder, it doesn’t matter,” he said, via MLB.com. “I customize all different kinds. It’s just fun.”
As for his inspiration behind the All-Star Game gloves, Smith said it came from the host city.
“It’s the Reds, so I though there’s got to be a lot of red, but I just picked whatever I thought looked best,” he said.
Several players, including Jose Altuve, Dee Gordon and Lorenzo Cain, are already sporting the youngster’s glove.
