Rawlings HOH Mark of a Pro 11" Baseball Glove: SPYPT1-2MOS
HOH Mark of a Pros can only be found at JustGloves! So if you like the look of it, you better get this Rawlings baseball glove here at JustGloves because you won't find it anywhere else!
Glove Benefits
Rawlings makes this specific HOH Mark of a Pro so that it fits younger players! It will have Rawlings' Youth Pro Taper Fit which will make it snugger at the wrist opening and tighter within the finger stalls. We believe that this glove will be excellent for use by players aged 7-12 years old (depending upon their hand size).
As well, it comes in an 11" length and can be used anywhere on a youth ballfield. That being said, it will have an infield look as it features an I-Web (I-Webs have become extremely popular with infielders over the last couple of decades).
A big attraction to this glove is that it is going to have a Big League look to it and it will even feature some leather that is typically reserved for higher quality Rawlings gloves. However, this glove should be decently soft in its feel and the break-in process should not be too rough!
Warranty
Ball gloves from Rawlings just ooze with craftsmanship and lore. Rawlings has been around for many years and they know a thing or two about what it takes to make customers loyal for life. One of the ways they do that is by extending a twelve (12) month warranty from the purchase date on all their gloves. There are a few exceptions to the 12-month policy as they do NOT cover gloves that have been put in a microwave/oven, over-oiled gloves or gloves with broken laces. If you have a Rawlings glove that was purchased from JustGloves and you feel something is wrong with it, please reach out to our Glove Experts at JustGloves. They will get you set up with the information for reaching out to Rawlings!

Not for a 7yr old Jay Coach
Pros: The glove is great quality.
Cons: The glove does NOT fit the hand of a 7yr old. While the experts say it’s for a kid up to 10yrs old, I’d hold off till the hand is a little bigger, it doesn’t close correctly with the smaller hand of a 7yr old.
Youth HOH Kris Coach
Pros: Great glove, durable and perfect size for 8 year old SS. Taking longer than expected to break in.
Cons: It’s advertised as Heart of the Hide but there are no markings, disappointing.
Great youth glove! Jason Parent
Pros: The quality of the glove is top notch and much better than any of the other youth gloves we had looked at before ordering this one. The construction is great as well. The glove will still be going strong even after he grows out of it. He should be able to use this for at least two more seasons before growing out of it.
Cons: The only con I can think of is the glove requires a good amount of break in.

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.
