The Rawlings Liberty Advanced 11.5-inch fastpitch glove is an infield option for players who prefer a compact glove and a Basket Web. The shorter profile favors handling over the reach of a larger fielding glove, while the white and pink colorway gives it a clean, bright finish.
Full-grain leather, deer-tanned cowhide lining and a PORON XRD palm pad bring leather construction and cushioning together. Rawlings lists 30% player break-in, leaving some preparation for the player without presenting it as an untouched, stiff leather build.
The 71SB pattern uses an adjustable pull strap at the wrist. Rawlings identifies the fit as standard, so glove length should not be treated as proof that it is a youth-sized hand opening. This right-hand-throw model is worn on the left hand.
