This is about as classic as a first-base mitt can look. The Black leather and Tan laces give it that traditional big-league style, while the 12.5-inch FM18 pattern gives you plenty of pocket without feeling unnecessarily huge. It is going to start firm, but that is exactly what many players want from Heart of the Hide—you get to shape the hinge and pocket the way you like it. This is a great option for a left-handed first baseman who wants a serious mitt with no unnecessary flash.

The Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRORFM18-17BCS is a 12.5-inch first-base mitt for left-handed throwers who want a full-size receiving area without moving into an oversized 13-inch pattern. Its Modified H-Web and deep FM18 shape give first basemen the pocket security needed to handle stretches, short hops, and throws that pull them away from the bag.

Heart of the Hide steerhide gives this mitt the firm structure and long-term durability competitive players expect from the series. It will require a real player break-in, but that process allows the pocket, hinge, and closing shape to form around the player’s hand instead of arriving overly soft.

The Black shell and Tan laces give the mitt a traditional professional look that works with any uniform. This is a strong choice for an experienced first baseman who wants premium Rawlings leather, a substantial pocket, and a clean colorway that will continue to look good as the glove breaks in.

What does left-hand throw mean?

This mitt is worn on the right hand by a player who throws with the left hand.

How much break-in should I expect?

Heart of the Hide leather begins firm and requires player break-in. Regular catch is the best way to form the pocket and closing shape around your hand.

What does the 12.5-inch FM18 pattern offer?

It provides a deep, secure first-base pocket with plenty of receiving area while remaining easier to control than some larger 13-inch mitts.
