Many successful MLB players wear the heart of the hide glove. It is very popular, and for good reason. It's high quality and breaks in nicely. This glove is unique because it is marketed towards any level of play. It's very versatile and durable. Although this glove has a pro-level appearance and is designed to last, it's easier to break in, which means it might not last as long as a glove like the A2000.
