Rawlings Japan Series Baseball Gloves

The Rawlings Japan Series is a special United States release of gloves that is already available to Japanese customers. Four (4) Heart of the Hide gloves were selected to be available for a limited time in the States. Among these gloves you'll find two pitcher models and two infield gloves.

 

Rawlings delivered on unique Japanese features when it comes to these gloves. You'll love their Ultra Belt Closure (UBC) design on a selection of these Japan gloves. The UBC design allows for an articulated structure installed on the backing to match the operating angle of each glove. Further, it leads to a thumb-to-ring-finger closure that should create a deep-feeling pocket and allow for an easy transfer of the ball to the throwing hand. 

 

And you might remember Rawlings' "Dual Core Tech" that once existed on Rawlings gloves in the States. Well, Rawlings gloves in Japan still feature that design, but under the name "Dual Palm Tech". A couple of these gloves feature this advancement which exists as a thin liner under the palm shell of the glove that allows it to have a unique position-specific break-in.

 

Ultimately, if you want a taste of ball glove culture in Japan, this limited edition release from Rawlings will provide you with that experience!
