The 2027 Rawlings Pro Preferred BH3 is a 13-inch first-base mitt modeled after Bryce Harper’s game-day pattern. Its full-size DCT shape, deep pocket, and Single Post Double Bar Web give an experienced first baseman a large, dependable receiving area for stretches, picks, and throws across the diamond.
Full-grain kip leather gives the mitt the smooth feel and long-term shape retention associated with Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves. It begins firm and requires a legitimate player break-in, but that structure allows the pocket and closing shape to form around the player rather than arriving overly soft. Performance sheepskin palm lining, wool padding, and a wool wrist liner provide comfort without taking away from the mitt’s substantial feel.
The clean Camel shell, matching laces, hand-sewn welting, and classic Rawlings patch give this model a timeless professional look. This left-hand-throw version is best suited to competitive high-school, college, and advanced travel players who can control a large 13-inch first-base pattern.
