Glove Benefits
Ball players across the country are searching for gloves that will provide a look that sets them apart from others. Although many still prefer that classic tan or brown look, many players want a glove that will deliver an extra "pop" of color. And this is where the Heart of the Hide ColorSync series breaks into the market. These ColorSync models provide a look that in the past could only be found if you paid extra to create a custom Rawlings baseball glove. But with these ColorSyncs, you only have to pay the regular Heart of the Hide price. This will be the 7th time that Rawlings has dropped this unique line and once again, they have absolutely scored in regard to creating dynamic looks.
The glove is designed to replicate Kris Bryant's glove in terms of length and web, and it boasts exceptional versatility. It is an R2G glove, which means it offers a variety of fitting options. This makes it a perfect choice for young players looking for a high-quality glove with a secure fit or for older players who require a glove that won't slip off their hand. In addition, the glove is suitable for both infield and outfield use, thanks to its unique 12.25-inch length. While Kris Bryant uses this glove at 3B, it could also be used at SS for those who are daring enough. Furthermore, it could be utilized as a smaller glove in the outfield.
Rawlings glove builders have added a touch of style to this glove, making it stand out with its extra flare. The glove features a combination of blonde and brown leather, which is accented with navy bindings to create a striking visual impact. And if you look at the thumb and pinky portions of the glove, you'll see the hand-sewn welting that just gives the glove an extra bit of class!

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.
