BTL Staff Review

The Mint and Columbia Blue colorway gives this Heart of the Hide a bright, clean look that stands out without being too loud. At 11.75 inches, the 217 pattern gives you more reach and pocket than a compact 11.5-inch glove while still feeling quick enough for the infield.

The Pro I-Web keeps the fielding surface open and works well for clean transfers. This pattern makes the most sense at shortstop or third base, although a second baseman who likes more coverage can use it too.

Choose the 217 if you want a little more reach and a more secure pocket than an 11.5-inch 200 pattern. The R2G construction also makes it easier to close and more playable sooner than a traditional Heart of the Hide.

Is this a softball catcher’s mitt?

No. This is an 11.75-inch baseball infield glove built on Rawlings’ 217 pattern.

Which positions are best for the Rawlings 217 pattern?

Its 11.75-inch length works especially well at shortstop and third base. Players who prefer additional reach may also use it at second base.

What does R2G mean?

R2G stands for Ready 2 Go. Rawlings gives the glove an additional 25% factory break-in, resulting in a 65% factory and 35% player break-in ratio.

How does the 217 pattern compare with an 11.5-inch 200 pattern?

The 217 provides an extra quarter inch of reach and generally favors slightly more coverage. The 11.5-inch 200 pattern is more compact and focused on quicker transfers.
