The Rawlings Pro Preferred PROSCM43-23CC gives baseball catchers a 34-inch CM43 pattern in a clean camel finish with gold accents. It is a standard-fit mitt for players who prefer this circumference and want to develop their own pocket in full-grain kip leather.
A Half Moon Web supports the receiving area, while wool padding provides internal structure. Performance sheepskin palm lining and a wool wrist liner add comfort against the hand. The conventional back and pro-grade leather laces complete a straightforward catcher’s build.
The light camel shell is paired with matching laces, metallic gold trim, and gold branding. The trim outlines the mitt without turning it into a loud multicolor design.
Rawlings lists 70% player break-in. This is a mitt to prepare ahead of the season, not a purchase to assume will be ready for a game immediately. For catchers comparing it with the 33-inch CM33, the useful starting point is their preferred receiving size and how each pattern feels on the hand—not an assumed improvement in transfer speed from either size.
