Pro Preferred Baseball Gloves
Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves – Rawlings' finest in Canada
The Rawlings Pro Preferred is Rawlings' most premium glove — the equivalent of the Wilson A2K in the Rawlings lineup. Handcrafted using Japanese Kip leather, widely regarded as one of the finest, softest, and lightest leathers in the world, it delivers a playing experience that very few gloves can match.
Worn by a select group of MLB's elite, the Pro Preferred is the glove of choice for Canadian players who refuse to compromise on quality and want the absolute best baseball glove available on the Canadian market.
Pro Preferred vs Heart of the Hide — What's the difference?
Both are made by Rawlings, but the Pro Preferred is clearly a step above:
- Japanese Kip leather (Pro Preferred) vs American steer hide (Heart of the Hide) — softer, lighter, and breaks in significantly faster
- Fully handcrafted construction — every stitch and lace adjusted by hand
- Pittards leather lining — exceptional interior comfort that holds up season after season
- Luxury finish — rich colors, refined stitching, near-custom glove aesthetics
- Near game-ready out of the box — Kip leather requires far less break-in than steer hide
