Rawlings PRORFM18-17N Heart of the Hide 12.5" Firstbase Baseball Mitt

Take command around the bag with the premium construction of the Rawlings PRORFM18-17N Heart of the Hide 12.5" First Base Baseball Mitt. Designed specifically for first basemen, this premium mitt combines renowned Heart of the Hide leather with a position-specific FM18 pattern to provide the structure, pocket control, and dependable feel needed to handle plays at first base.

Crafted from top-grade U.S. steerhide leather, the PRORFM18-17N delivers the premium feel and durability associated with Rawlings' Heart of the Hide series. The steerhide shell is designed to develop a dependable pocket through use while maintaining the structure players need when receiving throws and making defensive plays around the bag.

The 12.5-inch size and FM18 first base pattern provide the reach and pocket shape needed to secure throws from across the diamond. Paired with the Pro H Web, the mitt creates a strong, functional pocket that helps first basemen control the baseball when receiving throws, making stretches, and handling difficult picks.

Inside the mitt, a shell palm leather lining provides a premium leather feel against the hand. A padded thumb sleeve adds cushioning and protection in a key contact area, helping provide comfortable support through repeated catches and defensive plays.

The thermoformed wrist liner adds comfort and support around the wrist, while the standard fit and conventional back maintain the traditional feel expected from a premium first base mitt. Pro Grade leather laces reinforce the web and overall construction for dependable durability.

Featuring Rawlings' R2G construction, the PRORFM18-17N leaves only 35% player break-in. This more accessible break-in allows players to get the mitt into playing shape sooner while still providing the opportunity to personalize the pocket and overall feel.

Finished in a distinctive Navy/Teal colorway, this Heart of the Hide first base mitt combines premium materials, position-specific construction, and an easier break-in for confident performance around the bag.
