The Rawlings R9 Softball 12-inch glove is built for developing fastpitch players who want a leather utility glove without an extended break-in commitment. The 120SB pattern and H-Web provide a fielding option for players moving between defensive assignments, with a pink finish that makes it easy to pick out in the dugout.
Rawlings lists a full-grain, all-leather shell and 20% player break-in. That factory preparation reduces the work left to the player, but the pocket and closure still need to be ready before game use. A cushioned leather palm pad adds comfort inside.
The adjustable pull strap lets the player change the wrist opening. Rawlings places this model in its youth level, so the 12-inch fielding length should be considered alongside the intended fit rather than treated as an adult-fit guarantee. This is the right-hand-throw version.
