Description
Rawlings Heart of the Hide R2G ContoUR Fit Speed Shell 12.5" Baseball Glove: PROR3028U-6C
Rawlings has delivered the quintessential outfield glove for young players who desire to have a top-quality glove on their hand!
Glove Benefits
No glove out there exemplifies baseball lore quite like the Rawlings Heart of the Hide. When you see a glove that has the famed snorting bull in the palm, you know that you are dealing with baseball glove greatness!
Rawlings constructs the shell of their Heart of the Hide gloves with top-grade U.S. Steerhide and this material will be able to handle the rigors of a grueling travel slate of baseball games. And to match the shell's quality, the glove's hand slot is made from a deer-tanned cowhide that will be extra comfortable on a player's hand!
This Heart of the Hide packs a real wallop in regard to technology that will allow the glove to break in fast and be used by younger players. To make the glove softer, Rawlings works with the leather a little bit more at their factory to ensure that it is easier to get ready for gameplay. They also go ahead and thin out the heel pad of the glove which will further cut down on the time needed to get the glove into game-ready shape. And to make sure that young players can use this glove, they make it with their Contour Fit which gives it more narrow and lowered finger stalls, an adjusted back opening, and an overall smaller hand opening.
This will be an excellent glove selection for a young player who is already specializing in the outfield. The 12.5" length will give a fielder plenty of reach out in the big green ocean!

Is this the best outfield glove for an 11 yr old? Terry
Can this be used for softball? Or is the opening too narrow? Caleb
Can a high schooler with a smaller hand still use this? Zack
Have a soon to be 13 yr old OF. He has gamed for two seasons a 12.5 Rawlings Select Series. Want to move up in leather and build quality. HOH Contour or Regular? 12.5 or 12.75? Richard
Does this glove need your break-in service, or is it acceptably "ready to go"? Also, my son will be 13 in a few months. The adult gloves he tried on are definitely too large for his hand currently. I am nervous to buy an expensive glove for it to not fit right. How adjustable is the fit on the glove if we need to tighten it (or is it not adjustable at all?)? Nick
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.
