Description
Rawlings HOH Mark of a Pro 11" Baseball Glove: SPYPT1-3TG
This glove comes with a snug fit for a young player starting out. It can be used nearly anywhere on a youth field and is a great quality glove.
Glove Benefits
Rawlings got crafty with this glove and made an 11" length glove with a snug fit. It will work well for young ball players ranging from beginners to pre-teen players.
What is even better is the way they built the glove. They put together pieces of Heart of the Hide quality leather (or even better leather) to create the catching surface and backing of the glove. Then they built the inside of the glove with a soft material. The final result is a super-quality glove that will hold up to years of play, but won't take a long time to break in!

Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 4 Customer Reviews
Pros: Decent glove. Seems like ok leather, time will tell.
Cons: a bit too big for my 6 yr. old ( he will grow into it) a lot of break in time, specially for the little ones.
Pros: Super nice looking glove. Gets all the compliments and it’s so smooth. Got the treatment done with just gloves they did a great job. My 9 year will break it in and create a pocket in no time. Should be ready to go for fall ball.
Cons: None, only that I can’t steal it from my boy because it’s too small for me.
Pros: Got this for my son for fall baseball. The glove took about a year to fully break in but it is 1000 times better than most easy to break in options. Definitely worth the effort to break in.
Cons: Hard to break in for a little kid.
Pros: Everything…. This is a high end youth glove. Right up there, if not better than the youth a2000.
Cons: Slightly stiff for a 7-8 year old hand… get the break in treatment done, worth the extra $$. Took a full LL season to really feel good on his hand & 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.
