When your favorite player runs on the field, do you immediately look at their baseball mitt? If yes, the Opening Day Collection was made just for you! For this season, Anthony Rizzo's Pro Preferred combines a classic color combination with a professionally inspired design. Rawlings Pro Preferred baseball mitts have a reputation for being a staple at the highest levels of the game year after year. Known for their long-lasting, full-grain kip leather, each model continuously breaks in to form a perfect pocket based on the owner's preference. Professional game-day patterns and high-quality components are used to create the very best in the game that players of all ages and skill level have come to rely on season after season. Each glove offers a variety of different features that contribute to the greatness that is the Rawlings Pro Preferred. Inside of the mitts, Deertouch finger back linings optimize fit and add an unbeatable feel. A 100% water resistant wool padding also assists with the formation of the pocket and helps the glove hold its shape over a longer period of time. All while the classic Pittards sheepskin palm lining wicks away moisture and enhances the overall feel. Similar to that of other Rawlings ball gloves, the Tennessee Tanning Company rawhide leather laces add structure, strength, and durability unlike any other. Let's not forget that each thumb loop comes padded for added comfort and to ensure a premium fit on defense. Rawlings: The Mark Of A Pro! This Rawlings Pro Preferred First Base Mitt (PROSCMHCBBR) features a 12 3/4-inch size, a horizontal bar web, and a traditional open back with the classic red patch. Due to the size and the web, this model is mainly recommended for adult or elite first basemen. Wear what the pros wear and buy one of these Rawlings first base mitts today.

There is a tendency for the oil to bleed through (particularly on the lighter tan and brown colored gloves) and it is not uncommon to see what appears to be an oil stain of varying degree in the palm area of these gloves. I have received gloves in the past that arrived without any evidence of oil and within months, the oil bleeds through into the palm. Personally, I would not let this condition deter one from buying a glove. Many of the gloves ordered off of "stock"pictures on the internet will end up having this condition. TIP: Many of the premium gloves including Rawlings Pro Preferred & Heart of the Hide, Wilson's A2000 & A3000, Mizuno's Classic Pro and Pro Limited, etc. are somewhat stiff when brand new. A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
