Rawlings’ Premium Pro Glove Reaches Beyond Expectations

Extend your reach with this Premium Pro glove from Rawlings.

Made 12.75” long and with the Trap-Eze® web and Fastback Design®, this glove has everything an outfielder needs. Look for it at Rawlings' official online store under model number PPR1275.

It is available for left-handed players as model number PPR1275-RH.

Trap-Eze® webs are built as an extension of the glove. Lacing on two sides of the web creates a pocket that naturally closes around the ball. These gloves are also known as “six-finger” gloves.

All gloves in Rawlings' Premium Pro series are constructed using Rawlings' Sold Core™ technology with OPTI-FIT®, an innovation designed to improve how the glove fits the hand, resulting in enhanced grip, maximum command and optimal feel. Matched with a laceless heel, the 1-piece construction revolutionizes the traditional way a glove is assembled, providing the player with ultimate control.

Premium Pro gloves use soft, full-grain leather for a game-ready feel and are recommended for the adult or elite player. They feature a two-tone look, with black leather and gold tan-color lacing.

Get yours engraved for big impact at a small cost.

Rawlings' New Ball Feeder Makes Batting Practice Automatic

Run a seamless batting practice by adding Rawlings' Pro Line Automatic Ball Feeder to your purchase of a Rawlings pitching machine.

Rawlings' Pro Line Automatic Ball Feeder (model number RAF) features a patent-pending turret design that holds more balls in less space than any other system.

It holds 35 baseballs or 29 softballs.

Choose from baseball or softball models for Rawlings' Pro Line Two Wheel Pitching Machine (model number RPM2) and Three Wheel Pitching Machine (model number RPM3). A baseball/softball combo model is also available.

Each feeder comes with a wireless remote control.

The extended visible ramp connects the turret directly to the ball feeder tube to make alignment easy. Batters can see the ball the whole way, allowing them to improve their timing.

Balls fed in may be laced or dimpled but must be regulation size. The release interval is fixed at 5 seconds.

The automatic feeder will not work for balls thrown upward (slow pitch softball or fly balls) because balls are not fed with enough momentum to roll up the machine's inclined ball feeder tube.

The ball feeder is made in the USA and comes with a 2-year warranty.


Visit our official online store or contact a Rawlings Customer Care representative at 866-678-GEAR(4327) to learn more about Rawlings' Pro Line Automatic Ball Feeder.

·         Baseball

Other features include LED speed displays, custom motors with oversized stainless steel shafts, stainless steel shafts and a tough powder coat finish.

The machine is portable, weighing 59 pounds.
