Rawlings’ HOH Glove Honors Gold Glove Winner Heyward


When Jason Heyward won his first Rawlings Gold Glove® in 2012, he received another honor—having a Rawlings glove named for him.

Rawlings' Heart of the Hide Jason Heyward Game Day Baseball Glove (model number PRO303-6JB-HEY) features the Pro H web and a conventional back.

The Pro H web allows players to see through it while making catches, using the glove to shield their eyes from the sun and lights. With its deep pocket and open web, this glove is recommended for outfielders.

It's the style Heyward, right fielder for the Atlanta Braves, prefers.

This 13” glove can be used for baseball or softball and is crafted from Rawlings’ world-renowned Heart of the Hide steer hide leather. 

All gloves in Rawlings' Heart of the Hide line feature leather made from the top 5 percent of steer hides.

Rawlings Gear carries all the Heart of the Hide gloves featuring the game-day styles of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award® winners.

The Jason Heyward glove is available for left-handed players under model number PRO303-6JB-HEY-RH.

Inning After Inning, Rawlings Baseballs With EIT Last Longer


Baseballs have remained relatively unchanged in the past 35 years, but that doesn’t mean Rawlings hasn’t found ways to make them better over time.

Rawlings has advanced its patented Extra Innings Technology, or EIT, so that Rawlings baseballs last 15 percent longer.

EIT Advanced makes baseballs more durable so they will last longer and perform more consistently over their lifetime.

An EIT Advanced baseball is made with a thin polymer layer just under the cover of the ball that resists the damaging effects of moisture. The layer keeps the ball firm and, in turn, more durable.

Rawlings baseballs with EIT Advanced maintain more of their liveliness and gain less weight in humid conditions. A 0.2-ounce difference in the weight of the ball may not seem like much, but it can stop a home run just short of the fence.

It’s just one more reason why Rawlings baseballs continue to be used at the highest levels of play, including Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, the NCAA College World Series, the NJCAA and NAIA championships and countless high school and youth leagues.

Visit RawlingsGear.com or contact a Rawlings Gear Customer Care representative at 866-678-GEAR(4327) to purchase your Rawlings baseballs individually or by the dozen.

Rawlings' Horween 11.75” Glove Features Modified Trap-Eze Web


Rawlings invented its Trap-Eze web in 1959 with the idea of creating a web that was an extension of the glove itself.

A subsequent adjustment to that web, called the Modified Trap-Eze, created a popular web for pitchers and infielders.

Rawlings' Limited Edition 125th Anniversary Horween Premium baseball glove (model number PRO1175LIMITED) features that Modified Trap-Eze web and a conventional back. It measures 11.75”.

The web secures the ball, and its unique lacing filters dirt to ensure a clean, quick ball transfer.

The Horween leather used to create this glove is designed to give the glove a worn, retro look.

Tanned in the United States by the Horween Leather Company, this leather has a quality known as “pull-up,” in which the color of the leather lightens temporarily when pressure is applied.

This glove requires the player to break it in, which allows him to shape it to his liking.

Gloves in Rawlings' Horween Premium 125th anniversary collection are limited edition. Each glove is individually numbered by model and comes with a letter of authenticity.

Each is sold with a key chain, glove stand and luggage tag.

Visit RawlingsGear.com or contact a Rawlings Gear Customer Care representative at 866-678-GEAR(4327) to buy your Rawlings Limited Edition 125th Anniversary Horween Premium 11.75” glove.

Rawlings' Horween Premium 12.25” Glove Features Basket Web


When Rawlings patented its popular Basket web in 1967, it was a glove-creation innovation.

The web allowed gloves to be manufactured larger than the traditional 12” size.

Now you can get your own Rawlings Limited Edition 125th Anniversary Horween Premium Baseball Glove (model number PRO1000LIMITED), featuring the Basket web and measuring 12.25”.

A favorite among pitchers and infielders, the Basket web forms a closed, deep pocket.

The Horween leather used to craft this glove is specifically designed to give the glove a worn, retro look.

Tanned in the United States by the Horween Leather Company, this leather has a quality known as “pull-up,” in which the color of the leather lightens temporarily when pressure is applied.

The majority of the break-in on this glove is up to the player, allowing him to form the glove to his own preferences.

Gloves in Rawlings' Horween Premium 125th anniversary collection are limited edition. Each glove is individually numbered by model and comes with a letter of authenticity.

Each is sold with a key chain, glove stand and luggage tag.

Visit RawlingsGear.com or contact a Rawlings Gear Customer Care representative at 866-678-GEAR(4327) to buy your Rawlings Horween Premium 12.25” glove.
