Rawlings' Pro Preferred First Base Mitt a 'Work of Art'

The player may grow older, but his love of the game never ages.

Just ask RawlingsGear.com customer BigDog36.

A lifelong ballplayer, Big Dog decided it was time for a new mitt. He chose Rawlings' Pro Preferred first baseman's mitt.

“The one I've been using was bought for me by my mother in 1958, when I was a junior in high school!” he wrote. “It is still a serviceable glove, but come on, it's 52 years old! That's older than most ballplayers!

After some research, he purchased model number PROSDCT2T, a two-tone, 13” mitt with a Single Post web, a stretchable web that creates a secure pocket for snagging any throw.

“It is beautifully made and truly a work of art! This glove will last as long as I need it and after that, I'm going to leave it to my grandson, Noah. He is only 19 months old, but looks like he'll be a lefty. I'm sure he'll love this glove as much as his old Big Dog does.”

Rawlings' Pro Preferred line is made with supple Kip leather that provides a smooth look and feel. The Pittards performance sheepskin lining wicks away moisture and sweat to keep your hand dry and to allow the glove to last many seasons.

All Rawlings gloves are constructed with top-quality leather and the best materials by craftsmen who love the game as much as Big Dog, who adds, “Thanks for helping to rekindle my youth and my love of baseball.“

Rawlings has made the smartest helmet in baseball even sharper.

The S100P batting helmet features better technology and a slimmer look for 2011.

The helmet features a multiple impact liner for added protection and PORON® XRD™ material, which creates a unique protective shield that can absorb up to 90 percent of the most intense force.

S100P sizing is designed to provide a snug fit. Players may want to move up a size if they prefer a less snug fit, but a batting helmet should always be worn so that it stays in the correct position as all times.

Get a Grip With Rawlings' Bat Accessories

Get the edge at the plate with Rawlings' batting accessories.

The rugged and simple Rawlings Grip Stick (model number STIK) is the new, non-messy alternative to pine tar, rosin bags and other grip enhancers.

This specially formulated waxy solid is becoming essential equipment for every on-deck circle.

Both professional and amateur baseball players use Pine Tar as a grip enhancer for their bats.

Applying pine tar to a bat improves the batter's overall grip and prevents the bat from slipping while the player is at the plate. Batters also don't have to grip the bat as hard, resulting in more "pop."

Rawlings' pine tar is available in a 4-ounce spray (model number SPTR) or on a cloth rag (model number PTR1). RawlingsGear.com also carries a pine tar kit for the entire team under model number PTEAM.

Another way players get a better grip is by using rosin.

Rawlings' Rock Rosin Bag (model number ROSPRO) imparts a tacky grip for enhanced gripping power. For a drier grip, try Rawlings’ Rosin Bag (model number ROS1), which contains a powdered rosin mixture.

A staple in the on-deck circle is the bat weight, used to enhance bat speed during warm-up. The 16-ounce classic Doughnut Style Bat Weight (model number BW16) is made of iron with a durable black vinyl coating.

And don't forget Rawlings' All-Purpose Sports Tape, which is great for bat handles and more. This tape is ¾” wide and 30’ long and comes in white, black, royal and red.

Rawlings' Sandlot 12” glove is a brand-new glove with a well-worn look.

This glove's retro black leather, antiqued lacing and quick break-in time make it feel as though it's been in your family for years.

The glove (model number SL12XTCB) features a Trap-Eze web and is a favorite of pitchers and infielders.

"As I began managing my oldest boy's Little League team, I began to regret my parents' selling of my high school glove. This glove helped me overcome that. It broke in quickly and felt like I've had it a long time. I look forward to passing it on to my son when he outgrows the 11" Rawlings glove we got him for his birthday," wrote mcskipper in an online review at RawlingsGear.com.

"I bought this glove just to play catch with, and like it very much. It fits well and is comfortable to wear. You can adjust the lacing of the 'finger' between the thumb and index finger to help shape the pocket (tighter at the top and looser at the bottom),” wrote Backburner in another online review.

Rawlings' Sandlot 12” glove is also available for left-handed players under model number SL12XTCB-RH.

Rawlings Gloves Have Superior Technology

Use Rawlings' cutting-edge technology to choose your next Rawlings glove based on your position or how you catch the ball.

The Traditional Way
Rawlings' Pro Preferred, Gold Glove Legend and Gold Glove Gamer gloves are built in the tried-and-true classic way.

They use a lining inside the shell held together with lacing on the heel and the pocket. This type of construction creates stiffness, making the glove difficult to close until it's broken in. It’s a purist’s dream.

Dual Core Technology
One of Rawlings' most popular innovations is Dual Core technology, found in Primo and Heart of the Hide gloves.

Dual Core technology introduces two layers of leather to the pocket of the glove that work together to conform to the athlete's hand, creating position-specific break points. When the athlete fields the ball, the inner palm and lining of the glove adjust to the shape of the outer palm to absorb the impact. The glove closes naturally for a perfect fit.

Solid Core Technology
Rawlings' innovative REVO SOLID CORE Technology™, featured in its new REVO SOLID CORE™ glove series, gives you the fit, feel and function you want in your glove.

The laceless heel and pocket, along with a revolutionary new style of layering each glove, feel game-ready off the shelf. The player-specific design allows each glove to function in the unique way each player catches the ball.

Visit RawlingsGear.com or contact a Rawlings Gear Customer Care representative at (866) 678-GEAR(4327) for more information on Rawlings' glove technologies.
