Rawlings 31 Pattern Gloves

The Rawlings 31 Pattern is the style of infield glove for a baseball player that wants the middle ground between a glove with a shallow pocket and one with a deep pocket. To say it directly, this glove's pocket has a medium depth. In addition, these baseball gloves feature dual welting on their finger backs (which is different from most other Rawlings gloves). The common thought is that the dual welting can provide more structure to the glove's shape over time. 31 Pattern gloves are commonly found in the 11.25 inch length (312 gloves), 11.5 inch length (314) and 11.75 inch length (315).
