"It has a nice leathery feel to it and feels great when you put it on,” wrote Nbvarsitypr0. “Granted, it will take some time to break it in but nevertheless a very great choice at a great price. This will probably be my glove to use for my sophomore, junior and senior years in high school unless I upgrade to a Pro Preferred, that is. Other than that, this glove is strongly recommended for the serious first baseman. Thank you, Rawlings, for providing me a glove that will help me dominate on and off the field.”
