The Rawlings Heart of the Hide PROR204U-2CPE is an 11.5-inch infield glove for players who want the feel and structure of Heart of the Hide leather in a more approachable break-in. Its compact 200-pattern shape and Pro I-Web are designed to keep the pocket controlled and the ball accessible for quick transfers.
Heart of the Hide steerhide supplies the glove’s durable outer shell. A deer-tanned cowhide lining creates a smoother interior feel, while the ContoUR fit uses a narrower hand opening and lowered finger stalls to give players with smaller hands a more secure connection to the glove.
The PROR construction receives additional factory break-in compared with a traditional Heart of the Hide model. That makes it easier to begin shaping, but it should still be broken in around the player’s preferred closure rather than forced completely flat.
