Rawlings Heart of the Hide ContoUR Fit 12.25" 1st Base Mitt (RHT)

Elevate your game at the bag with the Rawlings Heart of the Hide ContoUR Fit 1st Base Mitt. This eye-catching model features a vibrant Blue and Pink colorway, designed for players who want to stand out while playing lockdown defense. Part of the specialized ContoUR Fit series, this mitt is specifically engineered for athletes with smaller hands who need a professional-grade tool that actually fits.

Crafted from legendary Heart of the Hide steer hide, this 12.25-inch mitt provides the perfect combination of durability, pocket depth, and a custom-tailored feel for younger or smaller-handed elite players.

ContoUR Fit & Performance Features

• ContoUR Fit Technology: Designed with narrowed finger stalls and a lowered wrist opening, the ContoUR fit ensures the glove sits securely on the hand, providing maximum leverage and control for players who find standard adult gloves too bulky.
• Premium Steer Hide Leather: Constructed from the top 5% of available hides, this leather offers the rugged durability required to snag high-velocity throws and withstand a full season of dirt and turf.
• 12.25-Inch Pattern: The 12.25" length is optimized for the first base position, offering an extended reach for scooping balls in the dirt while remaining manageable and lightweight for quick tags.
• Single-Post Double-Bar Web: The classic first base web design creates a deep, secure pocket that swallows up baseballs and prevents them from popping out during high-impact plays.
• Deer-Tanned Cowhide Lining: The interior palm lining provides a soft, comfortable feel that works with the player to create a custom pocket during the break-in process.
• Pro-Grade Lacing: High-strength rawhide laces reinforce the fingers and web, ensuring the mitt maintains its "snap" and structural integrity over time.

Sizing & Fit Advice: The ContoUR Advantage

Finding a pro-level first base mitt that fits properly is often a challenge for transition-age players. The ContoUR Fit solves this by adjusting the internal architecture of the glove:

• Who it's for: This mitt is ideal for youth players (ages 10-14), female athletes, or any player with smaller hands who wants the quality of a "Heart of the Hide" without the glove "flopping" on their hand.
• Enhanced Control: By narrowing the finger stalls, Rawlings has made it easier for the player to close the mitt completely, which is vital for securing those "in-between" hops at first base.
• The 12.25" Advantage: While some adult mitts reach 13 inches, the 12.25" size provides plenty of surface area to catch throws from across the diamond while significantly reducing the overall weight of the glove.
• Contrast Target: The Blue and Pink design provides a high-visibility target for infielders, making it easier for them to locate your glove and fire the ball across the diamond with confidence.
