Gold Glove Elite

### Expert Notes
Rawlings excels when it comes to producing gloves for every age, skill level, and price
point—proven by their Premium glove series. The most recent Premium model was
released in 2021, and features the same durable leather that's easy to close (and that youth players 
love), Yet, the newest release did switch up
the glove’s palm and web color, moving away from black and in favor of dark brown
– which I feel compliments this glove’s old fashioned feel. What hasn’t changed about
the Premium series is that the gloves endure for seasons on end, and often remain
good enough for a youth player to use until it’s time to get an adult glove. Over anything
else, kids want a glove they can trust. And Rawlings Premium gloves are as trustworthy
as they come.

### Expert Notes
Youth baseball’s favorite glove continues to impress. Rawlings incorporated everything
that professional players love about Rawlings gloves, and distilled them into a series
meant for kids. The Highlight Series gloves provides extra palm protection, so players
stay safe in the field, along with completely closed basket webs that I’ve noticed are
always a favorite within youth baseball. What’s best of all is that Highlight series gloves
come in a variety of eye-catching colors that kids love, including pink, purple, red, and
blue—well, not just kids, because I’m 25 years old and love those colors too. Equipping
your child with a Rawlings Highlight glove is the first step to them making highlight-
worthy catches on the field.

Rawlings Pro Preferred models have been my standard for top-notch baseball gloves ever since I knew what baseball was. And the newest 2023 Pro Preferred releases utilize the same world-class kip leather and sheepskin palm lining that initially convinced me that Pro Preferred’s are the world’s most comfortable glove. Not to mention that Rawlings offers player-specific models for guys like Mike Trout, Ronald Acuña, Kris Bryant and Gerrit Cole—ever heard of them? Ever since the series’ beginning, Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves have been, well, preferred by the pros. And those MLB stars surely know a thing or two about what a great baseball glove should consist of. I trust their judgment. You should, too.

An iconic brand’s most iconic glove. Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves are famous for the top-grade, USA steerhide leather they’re crafted from, which makes for a firm and sturdy glove that so many players love. Over time, Heart of the Hide gloves have been remodeled to make them easier to break in and cater more towards players’ specific tastes. The newest Heart of the Hide release is Rawlings’ ‘Gameday 57’ series, which celebrates the MLB’s annual “Gold Glove Award” (introduced in 1957), by individually numbering each model—making every glove a one-of-one collector’s item and on-field gem. When we recall what made us fall in love with baseball, HoH comes to mind.

Wilson’s A2000 glove series has been a baseball staple since it was first released in 1957, and used by Ted Williams and Ernie Banks. We players have always known A2000’s for their Pro Stock leather’s durability, which continues to evolve and improve over time. In recent years, Wilson has started to combine the A2000’s legendary Pro Stock leather with a new SuperSkin material, which makes gloves more lightweight, moisture-resistant and twice as durable. And Wilson’s most recent A2000 release, the 2024 Love the Moment 1786 model, was designed to share a message of understanding and acceptance for people with autism. Even though my playing days are done, that alone makes me want to buy this glove. Regardless of which position you play, there’s a perfect Wilson A2000 glove available for you.

### Expert Notes
To me, Wilson A2K baseball gloves have always represented tradition, luxury, and world-class performance. The most recent 2023 A2K models are offering a brand new SuperSkin material along with Wilson’s patented Spin Control technology, which is a dimple pattern in the glove’s leather sections that I think looks really neat, which also reduces the ball’s spin rate upon contact. Though I know many fielders who favor the classic, Pro Stock leather gloves that made A2K’s highly sought after from 2015-2020. Ever since their initial release in 2007, A2K gloves have been handcrafted by the world’s best glovemakers, who cater to the desires of professional baseball players that I’d imagine know a thing or two about gloves. If you’re looking for a glove your peers will adore for its look and on-field performance, look no further than a Wilson A2K glove.

Pro Limited Edition

### Product Description 

Pro Limited Edition gloves from Mizuno are handcrafted by glove masters in Haga, Japan. Each Pro Limited Edition baseball glove is constructed with Northern European Kip leather, all of which is hand-selected and well conditioned before it’s used to make any gloves. Mizuno Pro LE gloves feature roll welting, a style of welting that offers a cleaner look and heightened stability throughout the fingers of your glove. Lastly, these gloves are made with Speed Drive Technology, which makes every glove perfectly balanced based on your position in order to provide the fastest reaction and best response possible.

### Expert Notes

The Pro Limited Edition rivals any top-of-the-line glove on the market. Although the price tag is a hefty $600 brand new, this glove is well worth the investment if you plan on taking care of it properly. The Pro Limited Edition is made of the highest quality leather that’s handcrafted in Japan, and these gloves are not mass produced. This is not a “buy it on a whim at a sports retail store”; it is the king of all gloves. Pro Limited Edition gloves are highly recommended for all collegiate and professional players who love top notch products and who love the process of breaking in a brand new glove. In this case, the break in period is roughly 3-5 weeks.
