RAWLINGS HEART OF THE HIDE (HOH). JUNE 2025 GOLD GLOVE CLUB (GGC) GLOVE OF THE MONTH (GOTM).

PRO-GOLDYIX BASEBALL GLOVE - 11.5 RH (Right Hand Throw). NOTE : ANY DISCOLORATION IN THE LISTED PICTURES IS THE RESULT OF CAMERA FLASH. THE CAMERA FLASH HAS A TENDENCY TO LIGHTEN AND/OR DISTORT CERTAIN COLORS. THE GLOVE COLOR IS BLACK, RED & GOLD. Hit the field with pro-grade quality this season. As part of Rawlings' Heart of the Hide series, this EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION GLOVE OF THE MONTH glove is crafted from center-cut portions of leather pulled from the top 5% of Rawlings' hide stock.

This ultra-premium steerhide is thicker and more durable than most other leathers, offering players a custom-molded fit and the toughness needed to compete at the highest level. This glove has a firm feel out of the box, but shapes easily and feels soft and supple. With a handsome, tan-colored shell, black embroidery and Rawlings's signature white and red logos on the cuff, this glove has a classic look that will outlive the passing trends. LIMITED EDITION GOLD GLOVE CLUB MODEL. Constructed From Top Grade U.

Deer tanned Cowhide Inner Palm Lining & Full Grain Fingerback Linings Improve Comfort. Pro Grade Leather Laces Add Durability And Strength. Thermoformed Padding For The Back Of The Wrist While It Is In The Glove. TIP: Many of the higher-end premium gloves produced by Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno, etc. Have inner pockets that are pre-oiled at the factory.

There is a tendency for the oil to bleed through (particularly on the lighter tan and brown colored gloves) and it is not uncommon to see what appears to be an oil stain of varying degree in the palm area of these gloves. I have received gloves in the past that arrived without any evidence of oil and within months, the oil bleeds through into the palm. Many of the gloves ordered off of "stock"pictures on the internet will end up having this condition.

TIP: Many of the premium gloves including Rawlings Pro Preferred & Heart of the Hide, Wilson's A2000 & A3000, Mizuno's Classic Pro and Pro Limited, etc. Are somewhat stiff when brand new. A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove. Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove!

Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use.

Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. Will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process.

You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc.

Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove!

With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
