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.
