What "glove" means in baseball

In baseball, the term glove refers to protective equipment that players wear on their hands to catch and hold the ball. These gloves are typically made of leather or synthetic materials and are designed to cushion the impact of the ball when caught. The gloves come in various styles and sizes depending on the position played, with infielders using smaller gloves for increased control, and outfielders using larger gloves for greater range.
