Evolution of Rawlings Heart of the Hide Gloves Continues

Featured this week is Rawlings Heart of the Hide series of gloves, unquestionably one of the finest glove lines in baseball.

The Rawlings HOH glove series originated in 1958, and HOH gloves have been handcrafted from the top 5 percent of steer hides ever since.

The Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh series takes a classic one step farther.

This glove’s backing is a high-end mesh that is specially designed to make it lighter and more breathable, allowing the fielder to react quicker.

New to the Pro Mesh series this spring is model number PRO12VHPM, a 12” pitcher’s glove with a Vertical Hinge Basket web that professional pitchers are starting to use. It’s also available for the left hand under model number PRO12VHPM-RH.

Existing gloves that will stay in the HOH Pro Mesh Series are model numbers PRONP5PM, PRO200-4PM, PRO217-2PM and PROJP2002PM.

Rawlings’ classic line of HOH gloves is the Heart of the Hide series.

This spring, model number PROTB24B has been reinvented. It’s still a 12 ¾” outfielder’s glove with a Trap-Eze web, but the color of the web and laces have changed to make it an all-black glove. It is also available for the left hand under model number PROTB24B-RH.

Existing gloves that will stay in the Heart of the Hide series are model numbers PRO20-9JB, PRODJ2, PROCMHCB2 and PROSCM41B.

Last but not least is the Heart of the Hide Dual Core series.

The HOH leather is tanned softer for a game-ready feel with the durability and consistency that is expected from Rawlings. These gloves feature Rawlings’ Dual Core Technology.

Model number PRO302DC has been added this spring. It is a 12 ¾” outfielder’s glove with a Pro H web. It’s also available for the left hand under model number PRO302DC-RH.

Existing gloves that will stay in the HOH Dual Core series are model numbers PRO12MTDC, PRO17HDC, PRO1175DC, PRO204DC, PRO202DC, PRONP3DC, PRODCTDC and PROJP20DC.
