The Rawlings Heart of the Hide 12.75-inch 442 Pattern Outfield Glove is designed for serious outfielders who want a combination of reach, control, and premium craftsmanship. Made on the same pattern used by Cody Bellinger, the 442 pattern features a wide catching surface and a large pocket that helps secure fly balls with confidence. Unlike the traditional Rawlings 303 pattern, the 442 offers a slightly shallower pocket and a more streamlined feel, giving outfielders better awareness of the ball while still maintaining the size needed to cover ground in the gaps. The 12.75-inch length and Pro H web make it ideal for tracking down line drives, deep fly balls, and difficult catches at the wall.
At the heart of this glove is Rawlings' legendary Heart of the Hide leather. Crafted from hand-selected, ultra-premium steerhide, this leather is renowned for its exceptional durability, structure, and ability to form a perfect pocket over time. Heart of the Hide gloves are trusted by professional and elite-level players because they maintain their shape season after season while developing a customized feel unique to each player. The deer-tanned cowhide lining and premium interior materials provide outstanding comfort, while the sturdy steerhide shell delivers the long-lasting performance that has made Heart of the Hide one of the most respected glove series in baseball.
