Gem Gloves GEM147 Wild Child is the Kaysie Young Signature Model slowpitch softball fielding glove — a bold cheetah-print build wrapped around tour-level performance leather. Designed with an H-Web slowpitch fielding pattern, plush wool lining, and reinforced palm padding, the Wild Child is built for players who want a glove that looks as fierce as they play.
GEM147 Wild Child Overview
Part of the Gem Fielding Gloves lineup, the Wild Child pairs a camel Kip leather shell with a signature leopard print overlay and pink stitching, laces, and embroidery. It's built on Gem's slowpitch-specific pattern for true pocket depth and positioning, so it performs as well as it looks on the diamond.
Built for Slowpitch, Signed by Kaysie Young
Developed in partnership with slowpitch standout Kaysie Young, the GEM147 reflects real player feedback on fit, flex, and feel. It's one of several Premium Gem Gloves signature models, alongside gloves like the Christina Pasinski Signature Model GEM148 Glitter Girly and the Average Dudes Signature Model GEM144 Purple Reign.

Why Slowpitch Players Choose the Wild Child
