The baseball mitt was Allie's, his younger brother, who died of leukaemia and Allie is one of the few people who Holden sees as innocent and not a phony.
The Baseball mitt holds sentimental value for Holden because it is a connection to his deceased brother, Allie. It represents Holden's struggle with coping with loss and his desire to hold on to his youth and innocence. The mitt symbolizes Allie's uniqueness and Holden's longing for a sense of permanence and authenticity in a world he sees as phony.
