Designed with the softball player in mind, the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Series offers incredible control at each position. If a premium feel important to you, Heart of the Hide gloves are constructed from the top five percent of available cowhides and feature full-grain finger back lining. Plus, the thumb sleeve is padded to provide additional protection and comfort. Each Heart of the Hide Rawlings glove comes broken in so you can get it on the field faster.

A2000 fastpitch gloves are carefully crafted with input from professionals, top collegiate stars and elite travel players. Featuring top-grade American steerhide leather, the A2000 glove is designed to maintain its shape and feel, season after season. Keep in mind, though, that this durable leather can feel stiff at first and may take some time to break in. It’s worth the effort, as you’ll have a dependable glove that’s designed to last for years.

Fastpitch players love the Liberty series for its exceptional comfort and easy break-in process. The full-grain leather design is nearly ready to play from day one, and extra padding in the palm helps reduce the sting of hard-hit balls. Plus, the all-new hand opening and finger back adjustments are designed to specifically accommodate fastpitch players. Finally, a pull-strap closure helps provide a secure fit so you can field every ball with complete control.

Mizuno engineered the Pro Select Series with a sheepskin palm liner for smooth hand-to-glove contact and maximum control. This glove is equipped with premium steerhide leather that allows for a quick break-in time without compromising the structural integrity of the glove. Add in the player pocket designed tailored specially to the player’s needs and break-in preference, and this glove is sure to help take your game to the next level.

Rawlings developed this glove with time-tested materials and top technologies designed to help keep you at the top of your game. It features Heart of the Hide leather and a 3D-printed structure in the thumb and pinky to provide variable stiffness without sacrificing durability. Plus, for added comfort, this REV1X infield glove even features an adaptive hand opening. This allows you to get a custom fit on your wrist every time you put it on.

Now that you have the right softball glove for your game, it’s time to get to work.
