If you want to call it technology the web had the biggest impact on the development on Baseball gloves. The first baseball gloves were used in the 1870s. The basic idea was to create a glove that would pad and protect the players' hands and provide a cushion for catching the ball. The first gloves were designed so the player could knock the ball to the ground and not necessarily catch it. Many early baseball gloves were simple leather gloves with the fingertips cut off, supposedly to allow for the same control of a bare hand, but with extra padding. As the glove design developed webs were sewn into the glove making it easier to trap the ball into the glove using two hands. As the webs became more complicated catching the ball was made easier.
