The Rawlings 442 pattern baseball glove is a non-traditional outfield pattern that has gained popularity, particularly due to its association with MLB player Cody Bellinger. Bellinger has been using the PRO442 pattern glove since 2019, and it has become an iconic part of his playing style.
Crafted from ultra-premium steer-hide leather, the Heart of the Hide outfield glove offers unmatched quality and feel. The 12.75-inch 442 pattern is specifically designed to help players like Bellinger make even the most difficult plays look routine in the outfield. The wide pocket provided by this unique pattern allows for exceptional ball control and ensures that the glove closes flat, increasing the chances of successful catches.
One notable feature of the 442 pattern is its slightly shallower pocket depth compared to the popular Rawlings 303-pattern. This feature gives outfielders like Bellinger a heightened sense of each ball they encounter, enabling them to react swiftly and make accurate throws. The glove's design is optimized for tracking down fly balls with confidence, allowing players to cover more ground and secure outs effectively.
By choosing the Rawlings 442 pattern glove as your next gamer, you'll be joining an exclusive group of players who value exceptional performance and reliability. Known as "The Finest in the Field," these gloves are trusted by professional athletes and amateur players alike. Whether you're making the toughest plays or confidently tracking down fly balls, the Rawlings 442 pattern glove will help elevate your game and establish you as a force to be reckoned with on the field.

Horween 442

Beautiful glove - Leather quality A+
As described. It's quite stiff and will require time to break in, which is what I was looking for. Once it's game ready it will last. Leather is a little dry, so be ready to condition it or oil depending on your preference. Wasn't sure I would like the single post web, but it looks good and no issues so far.

Rawlings Horween Heart of the Hide 12.75 Inch 442 Baseball Glove Right Hand Throw
This is my second purchase (My First was a Rawlings Horween Heart of the Hide PRO1000-9HT Baseball Glove 12.25 Inch Right-hand Throw) from Ballgloves and my second Rawlings Heart of The Hide Horween Leather glove.
In my personal opinion, Horween leather is the only way to go when purchasing a new baseball glove. Horween leather is superior to the leather used in other Rawlings gloves because of its durability and the way it holds its pocket after many, many games and practices. If you love Rawlings gloves and mitts one that's made with Horween leather is the way to go! And the place to get one is right here at ballgloves.com!
