The Rawlings Pro Preferred PROS206-12TT is a 12-inch baseball glove for pitchers who want grip concealment and infielders who prefer additional pocket depth and reach.
Its 206 pattern uses a 200-pattern foundation extended to 12 inches. The Vertical Hinge web creates a closed fielding surface that helps prevent hitters and coaches from seeing the pitcher’s grip. The deeper pocket can also appeal to third basemen and utility infielders handling hard-hit balls, although the larger pattern will not transfer as quickly as a compact 11.5-inch glove.
Full-grain kip leather gives the glove a smooth feel while retaining the firm structure required for a stable pocket. Pittards sheepskin lining improves interior comfort and moisture management, while 100% wool padding supports pocket formation and shape retention. A conventional back, standard fit, and padded thumb sleeve complete the construction.
This is a professional-style glove that requires deliberate break-in. It is best for experienced high-school, college, and adult pitchers or utility defenders who want a substantial 12-inch pattern rather than a small, quick middle-infield glove.
