This glove showcases the impressive Pro Style 6019 pattern from Rawlings, mirroring the 12.75" length, trapeze web, and extra-deep pocket of professional outfielders' gloves. Yet, the leather is softer, making it a breeze to break in. The glove also features a finger shift design, encouraging a player to wear the glove with two fingers in the pinky slot, just like the pros.
This tiny 9.5-inch glove is built to improve fielding. Its short length requires players to work on hand-eye coordination, improve ball transfer skills from glove to hand, and stay down on the ball the entire time they field a grounder.

A great option for young players aged 8-14, the Rawlings R9 baseball glove has a soft, all-leather shell that's pre-treated to be 80% broken in right out of the box. It comes in various sizes for youth players, with an adjusted fit that includes a narrower finger stall and lowered palm opening. This makes it easier for young athletes to control the glove and close it securely.
