Sizing & Fit Advice

Selecting the right glove size is critical for defensive success. The 11.25-inch Heart of the Hide is a specialized tool designed for agility. Use the guide below to determine if this is the right fit for your game:

• Second Basemen (2B): This is the ideal size for second base. The compact 11.25" frame allows for the quickest possible transition from the glove to the throwing hand, which is vital for turning double plays.
• Shortstops (SS): Many elite shortstops prefer an 11.25" or 11.5" glove to ensure they can find the ball instantly. It offers maximum control and maneuverability during backhand plays.
• Youth & Intermediate Players: For competitive travel ball players (ages 9–14), an 11.25" glove provides a pro-style feel that isn't too heavy, helping to develop proper "quick hand" mechanics.
• The 31 Pattern: This glove is built on the Rawlings 31 Pattern, featuring a wider heel and a shallower pocket. This design ensures the ball sits high in the palm for a lightning-fast release.
