Rawlings' Heart of the Hide (HOH) baseball gloves are some of the most respected and popular gloves in baseball, highly regarded for their quality, durability, and design. Known for being crafted from high-quality leather, HOH gloves offer a professional-grade option for serious players looking for reliable performance on the field.
The Rawlings NP pattern is a highly sought-after design in baseball gloves, particularly favored by infielders for its precision and performance. Known for its slightly narrower profile and shallow pocket, the NP pattern is designed to promote quick transfers and enhanced ball control, making it ideal for players who prioritize speed and efficiency on the field. The shallow pocket allows fielders to secure the ball quickly and transition it seamlessly to their throwing hand, a critical advantage when making split-second plays.
One of the defining features of the NP pattern is its finger-stall placement and overall fit, which provide exceptional control and a tailored feel for the player’s hand. The glove’s construction helps the glove maintain its structure over time while providing the flexibility necessary for high-level performance. Typically, available in 11.5- to 11.75-inch sizes, the NP pattern is well-suited for shortstops and third basemen, where quick reactions and precise handling are paramount.
Crafted with Rawlings’ premium materials, such as their renowned Heart of the Hide and Pro Preferred leather, the NP pattern gloves offer unparalleled durability and comfort. Many professional players favor the NP pattern for its ability to combine a clean look with a design optimized for elite performance. Whether you’re making a diving stop or turning a double play, the Rawlings NP pattern glove is an excellent choice for infielders looking to elevate their game.
