The Rawlings Heart of the Hide PROR315-2WSHCC is designed for shortstops and third basemen who want an 11.75-inch glove with more reach and pocket depth than a traditional 11.5-inch infield model.
Its 315 pattern creates a wider, deeper catching area that helps secure hard-hit balls and backhand plays. The I-Web keeps the pocket open and accessible while supporting clean transfers across the infield. The extra depth favors control and reach, although players seeking the quickest possible exchange may prefer a smaller, shallower pattern.
Top-grade steerhide provides the structure and durability associated with the Heart of the Hide line. A deer-tanned cowhide palm lining, padded thumb sleeve, and thermoformed wrist padding improve comfort. This R2G construction receives additional factory softening and uses a redesigned heel pad, leaving approximately 35% of the break-in to the player.
This is a strong option for competitive high-school, college, and adult infielders who want substantial leather, an accommodating standard fit, and a more secure infield pocket.
