The Rawlings PROT206-9C is a 12-inch Heart of the Hide Traditional glove for pitchers who want to shape their own leather rather than start with an extra-softened build. Its 200 pattern pairs with a Closed Two-Piece Web to provide coverage and help conceal the baseball.
Premium steerhide provides the shell’s structure. Rawlings lists 60% player break-in for this model, making it a deliberate choice for someone willing to put time into developing the pocket and closure.
A standard fit and conventional open back are complemented by a padded thumb sleeve and deer-tanned cowhide lining. The left-hand-throw configuration is worn on the right hand.
Camel leather, brown laces, dark stitching, and red Rawlings patches give this glove a classic baseball look. It is a straightforward option for a pitcher who values traditional construction, prefers a 12-inch profile, and wants the finished glove to reflect the way they break it in.
