Rawlings Gold Glove Baseball Gloves & Mitts
The Rawlings Gold Glove isn't a single model, but a series that pays homage to the prestigious Rawlings Gold Glove Award, given annually to the best defensive players at each position in Major League Baseball. These gloves and mitts are designed to mimic the ones used by pros, featuring moldable padding, pocket-shape retention, and full-grain leather for durability. The series comes in various sizes and web patterns to cater to specific positions. The Rawlings Gold Glove series is a modern addition to Rawlings' long history of quality in baseball equipment, which extends back to the brand’s founding in 1887.

The shell, palm, web, and lacing of the Pro Stock model are made of very stiff European leather. It’s cut, shaped, and assembled by a single master craftsman. This craftsman breaks in the glove about 30% of the way, leaving about 70% of the break-in for the player to shape and form the glove or mitt to their liking.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This was an easy glove to break in, and it’s excellent quality ensures maximum comfort. |
| The leather is very soft, the stitching is sturdy and the fit is great. |
| When we first took the glove out of the packaging, it already felt like it was broken in. I highly recommend this glove. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The fit of your hand inside the glove is extremely tight. |
| The lacing at the top of the basket/fingers is extremely loose. |
| Only con would be the amount of break in time required. |
The Rawlings Gold Glove is iconic. It's designed by a single craftsman, who gives the glove its unique serial number and time stamp. It's a good pick for players who want a high-quality glove to help them improve their defensive game. These gloves come in all styles and sizes and are made with pro-grade materials, so they will last much longer than other models I've played with.
