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.
Key features include:
Premium Leather | Features both Heart of the Hide and Tumbled Pro Soft Leather for a softer feel and quicker break-in time. |
Multiple Web Styles | Including trapeze web, modified trapeze web, and h-web. |
Moldable Padding | Allows players to shape the pocket of the glove to their preference for better ball control. |
Opti-Core Technology | Layers of pre-curved padding to provide a custom feel, extra protection, and durability. |

These gloves and mitts combine pro-inspired integration with top-grade leather to ensure consistency and durability throughout the season. An option for infielders and pitchers, the GG Elite utilizes a modified Trap-Eze™ Web, which helps to conceal the ball from the opposing team.
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 |
---|
The glove was super easy to break in. It’s also really high quality, which makes for maximum comfort. |
Super soft leather, really sturdy stitching, overall great fit. |
This glove felt broken in from day one. I can't recommend it enough! |
👎 Cons |
---|
I felt like the fit was way too tight. |
The basket/finger lacing appears to be pretty loose. I can't get a good fit. |
My only issue is that this did take me awhile to break in. |
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.
