The Rawlings Heart of the Hide 13-inch first-base mitt is designed for fastpitch players handling throws at the bag. The dedicated mitt shape and Single Post Double Bar Web give it a different job from an outfield glove, even though both can carry a similar length measurement.
Camel leather is paired with pink and Columbia blue details for a look that mixes a traditional base color with brighter accents. Heart of the Hide leather, shell-leather palm lining and a padded thumb sleeve complete the construction. The adjustable pull strap lets the player change the wrist opening.
Rawlings lists 20% player break-in for this model. The pocket and closure still need preparation before games. This left-hand-throw version is worn on the right hand. Choose it for first-base play, not as an all-position fielding glove.
