Rawlings Heart of the Hide 13'' Baseball First Base Mitt: PRORDCT-10CBP
Anchor the cold corner and secure every throw with the Rawlings Heart of the Hide 13" baseball first base mitt. Engineered specifically for first basemen who require maximum pocket depth and reliable scooping power, this model pairs professional-grade leather with Rawlings' legendary first base craftsmanship.
Glove Benefits
Crafted from traditional Heart of the Hide steerhide leather cut from the top 5% of Rawlings' hides, this mitt delivers the elite structural integrity and long-lasting durability needed to handle high-velocity throws. Built around the famous DCT pattern, its 13-inch framework offers a deeper, wider pocket than the FM19 model, making it easier to dig short hops out of the dirt and secure off-target throws. Featuring a traditional stiffer feel, it allows serious players to shape the pocket to their exact preference during break-in.
Sized to fit high school to adult hands, it comes equipped with a Single Post, Double Bar Web that creates a firm, deep target for infielders to aim for. Designed with first base protection in mind, the interior features a Pittards palm lining, an external index finger pad, a padded thumb sleeve, and thermoformed wrist padding to cushion high-impact catches. Reinforced with pro-grade leather laces, this 13" first base mitt is built to anchor your defense season after season.

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.
