Rawlings Heart of the Hide 11.5'' Baseball Glove: PROR204-2YPU
Anchor the middle infield and turn double plays with surgical precision using the Rawlings Heart of the Hide 11.5" baseball glove. Crafted specifically for quick-handed dirt commanders who demand lightning-fast ball transfers and seamless control, this model brings a high-energy Yellow and Purple look to a time-tested pro pattern.
Glove Benefits
Handcrafted from ultra-premium U.S. Steerhide, this glove provides the structure and durability needed to hold up against high-velocity grounders. Built around Rawlings' popular 204 pattern, the 11.5-inch framework features a wide, secure pocket that naturally hinges thumb-to-pinky, giving second basemen, shortstops, and third basemen ideal depth for securing hard hops. Because it features Rawlings' R2G (Ready 2 Go) treatment, additional factory softening and a redesigned heel pad allow you to take the field with minimal break-in time required.
Tailored with standard finger stalls and a 7-to-7.5 inch wrist opening, it offers high school and adult players a snug, responsive fit. The classic Pro I-Web design allows dirt to fall right through while giving you full visibility when snagging popups. On the interior, soft deer-tanned cowhide palm lining combines with a thermoformed wrist liner and a padded thumb sleeve to keep your hand cushioned and comfortable through extra innings.

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
