Once obtained, the Pitcher's Mitt increases the speed and flattens the trajectory of [[throwing|thrown]] objects, allowing light objects (such as [[stone]]s and [[pots]]) to be hurled much farther, and making heavy objects (such as [[chest]]s and [[Idol]]s) more practical weapons. They can be equipped at the same time as [[Climbing Gloves]]. Using a Pitcher's Mitt to throw an [[arrow]] into any wall tile (but not stone and push blocks) will stick it into the tile, thus allowing you to grab onto it as you would a ledge, a feat that can otherwise be accomplished only by shooting the arrow with a [[bow]] or performing a running throw.

The Pitcher's Mitt (circled)

Pitching Gloves are equippable items purchasable from certain shops. They can also be found in as a semi-rare drop. They appear as a brown pair of gloves, not to be confused with Climbing Gloves which are green.

Functionality

Once obtained, the Pitcher's Mitt increases the speed and flattens the trajectory of thrown objects, allowing light objects (such as stones and pots) to be hurled much farther, and making heavy objects (such as chests and Idols) more practical weapons. They can be equipped at the same time as Climbing Gloves. Using a Pitcher's Mitt to throw an arrow into any wall tile (but not stone and push blocks) will stick it into the tile, thus allowing you to grab onto it as you would a ledge, a feat that can otherwise be accomplished only by shooting the arrow with a bow or performing a running throw.

Interestingly, the Pitcher's Mitt doesn't impact the way bombs are thrown when using the bomb shortcut key ("A" by default).
