The Rawlings Pro Preferred PROSCM33-23BR is a 33-inch baseball catcher’s mitt for players who want full-grain kip leather and a traditional brown finish. Rawlings calls the color Bruciato—a rich brown paired with coordinated laces and understated branding.
The CM33 pattern and Half Moon Web provide the catcher-specific shape. Full-grain kip leather forms around use, while wool padding supports the mitt’s structure as its pocket develops. A performance sheepskin palm lining and wool wrist liner finish the interior, and the conventional back retains a familiar open-back design.
This is a standard-fit model, not a reduced youth fit. It is best considered by competitive catchers who know they want a 33-inch mitt and are prepared to shape it themselves. Rawlings lists 70% player break-in, making preparation an important part of the purchase.
For a catcher who enjoys working a new mitt into their preferred shape, this Pro Preferred offers a clean starting point: a traditional colorway, quality leather, and no promise that the pocket will be finished for you out of the box.
