The Rawlings Pro Preferred 206 gives left-handed pitchers a 12-inch glove with a closed Vertical Hinge web and a rich tan finish. Its larger infield-style pattern gives the ball room in the pocket while the closed web helps keep pitch grips out of view.
Full-grain kip leather provides a smooth shell with the structure needed to shape a lasting pocket. This is a glove to break in deliberately, not a model to buy on the assumption that it will be soft enough for the next game.
Pittards sheepskin lining adds interior comfort, and wool padding supports the pocket as it takes shape. The conventional back and standard adult fit make this a choice for players who want an adult-sized hand opening with a substantial 12-inch pattern.
This is the left-hand-throw counterpart to BTL’s Pro Preferred 206 12-inch pitcher’s glove. It is worn on the right hand. Choose it for the closed web, roomier pocket and traditional tan appearance, with time set aside to develop the closure you prefer.
