New Rawlings RPROT206-9B 12" HOH

No glove out there exemplifies baseball lore quite like the Rawlings Heart of the Hide. When you see a glove that has the famed snorting bull in the palm, you know that you are dealing with baseball glove greatness!

Rawlings constructs the shell of their Heart of the Hide gloves with top-grade U.S. Steerhide and this material will be able to handle the rigors of a grueling high school, college or summer season. And to match the shell's quality, the glove's hand slot is made from a deer-tanned cowhide that will be extra comfortable on a player's hand!

This specific glove will be 12 inches in its length and have a two-piece, closed web. That design will make it super attractive for pitchers! The standard palm width and deep pocket will allow a pitcher plenty of room to place their entire hand inside of the glove to grip a pitch (allowing all of their wrist to be guarded against the batter's view). And as you guessed, the closed web will keep batters from being able to see the pitcher's fingers as they grip the pitch. Be sure to note that you don't have to be a pitcher to use this glove. There may be some third basemen and shortstops out there that will want to take a shot at using this glove on the left side of the infield!
