Rawlings Pro Preferred Speed Shell 11.5″ Baseball Glove: PROS204-4BSS

If you’re hoping to have the freshest glove game around…then you better outfit your glove hand with this new Rawlings Pro Preferred!

Glove Benefits

The Pro Preferreds have a reputation that certainly precedes them. When one simply hears the name “Pro Preferred”, they know that they are dealing with baseball glove excellence.

Kip Leather is the material that is used to build the shell of the glove. And when compared to other high-quality leather materials, many glove aficionados feel that the break-in on Kip Leather items can be a little quicker. That being said, we would still recommend planning for a pretty lengthy break-in to get this thing ready for games. But if you see the break-in through, you’ll be very happy with what you have once the glove is ready to take into a game.

As well, the inside palm lining of the glove is made from sheepskin leather that is tanned by Pittards leather company. Having that material on the inside of the glove will create a very comfortable experience when wearing this glove.

This 11.5″ glove is going to be an absolute stalwart on the infield as it can be used at 2B & SS. And if you’re comfortable with a slightly smaller glove at 3B, you can use it there too. Rawlings definitely brought the swagger with this glove as it will display the Speed Shell material on the back of the glove that blends in with the blonde leather. The Speed Shell is a synthetic material that should lighten up the weight of the glove while not reducing the durability at all. Also, the hand-sewn welting on the pinky and thumb backings of the glove will add a nice cosmetic touch!
