The Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRORB734-1BS is an 11.5-inch infield glove built for players who want a compact professional pattern with a Single Post web and a more manageable R2G break-in.
Its B73 pattern provides an agile infield profile suited to quick reactions, controlled fielding actions, and clean transfers. The Single Post web supplies a firm center section while keeping the pocket accessible. At 11.5 inches, the glove is sized primarily for middle-infield work, although its pocket can also appeal to third basemen who prefer a compact glove.
Top-grade steerhide provides the durability and structure expected from Heart of the Hide. A shell-leather palm lining, thermoformed wrist lining, padded thumb sleeve, pro-grade laces, and conventional back complete the construction. Rawlings’ redesigned heel pad and factory softening leave approximately 35% of the break-in to the player.
This model is best for high-school, college, and adult infielders who want premium leather without the full break-in commitment of a traditional Heart of the Hide glove.
