For Every Unique Catcher, Rawlings Has a Mitt

Catchers are unique for many reasons, not the least of which is the mitt they use.

Here are some tips for selecting your Rawlings catcher's mitt:

• Grab a Rawlings mitt that is snug and secure without being too tight.

• Choose a mitt that allows you to catch and stop wild pitches but that's not so big you are unable to grab the ball.

• Your catcher’s mitt should have enough padding to make your hand feel secure, while still having the control to snap the glove closed and hold the ball tight.

• Make sure you have a firm grip for grabbing fouls and tagging runners at the plate.

Nearly all the Rawlings catcher's mitts at RawlingsGear.com have received top reviews from customers. 1CATCHER is one such consumer. He wrote about his Pro Preferred 32.5 inch 2-Tone mitt (model number PROSCM202T): "I've had other mitts, but this one tops them all. The leather is sturdy yet easy to break in, and once it is broken in, it is like an extension of your arm. With others, my hand used to get really sore; with this mitt on I can go through a whole game without any pain at all. Have put this glove through a lot, but still has plenty of life in it."

Rawlings makes catcher's mitts for all of its premiere series: Primo, Pro Preferred, Heart of the Hide, and Gold Glove.

If you're still not sure which catcher's mitt is right for you, let your favorite pro be your guide. Joe Mauer and Yadier Molina use Rawlings catcher's mitts. Maybe the Joe Mauer 33 inch mitt (model number RCM30T) is the one you were looking for!
