This isn’t a glove on sale, but still qualifies as a glove deal. Why? It’s a super limited edition glove we haven’t seen in years, and now there are a solid amount of them thanks to Softball Fans.
This glove has Horween Tan leather and the rounded Fastback pattern that Cal Ripken used many years ago. If you’re a glove junkie, this is an awesome mitt for the collection.
Although it’s not too uncommon to see the A2K 1786 discounted, getting the best shortstop and second base glove for $60+ is always a win. This one’s on sale on Amazon.
Sure, this glove is from a few glove lines ago, but it’s still a great glove for the mound. 12″ length, two-piece web, and a classic colorway (and RHT). Plus, it’s only $230, a steal for an A2K model.
Another good deal on an 11.5″ Rawlings mitt, but this time it’s an 11.5″, I-web Pro Preferred model. This one is only $260 at JustBallGloves, an absolute steal for one of the best middle infield gloves on the market.
A really solid deal on a top tier catcher’s mitt. The M1 is a 33.5″ mitt, so it’s pretty much perfect for any catcher looking for a high quality mitt without the super inflated price tag.
Wilson’s premier A2K series returns for the 2020 and 2021 seasons as one of the best glove series in the world. And once again, Wilson has outdone themselves on the designs and materials on the 2021 Wilson A2K Gloves.

Christian Yelich’s rise to the top of the MLB was very gradual, but one thing that he always had was a strong glove in the outfield. He won an MVP in 2018, but a Gold Glove all the way back in 2014.
This season he’s been using a camel and black Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO3039-6C. It’s a pretty simple glove that looks great on any team, especially with the Gold Labels.
And while you can’t get his exact glove as a stock glove (especially with the gold labels), you can get similar 12.75″ Heart of the Hide 3039 pattern glove here.
A while back Rawlings discontinued the use of Horween leather on their stock mitts. And while they have yet to have more than a limited comeback , more and more Horween gloves are available today than in the past few years.
This post will serve as the complete guide to any Rawlings Horween gloves that hit the marketplace. Releases may be few and far between, but this post will remained updated throughout the years.
Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO6HF-1HT
It’s been a while since the Cal Ripken model has been on the market. It’s 12″, has a single post, a Fastback shell, and of course, Horween leather.
And while it’s not the greatest mitt on use on the diamond anymore, it’s the perfect glove for collectors who wish to have a glove that you probably won’t ever see used in the MLB again.
Now this is a definite gamer. 11.5″ I-web. Hand Sewn Welting. And, of course, Horween leather. If you’re a middle infielder looking for a top notch game glove, this is certainly it.
Another super classic mitt. The DCT is a 13″ pattern and widely considered one of the best patterns for first base. This glove will be an absolute tank over at first.
The PRO205-4HT is a sweet mitt for dual pitchers/middle infielders. At 11.75″ with a modified trapeze web and tan Horween leather, it will certainly be a gamer for many seasons.
Another tank of a mitt, this time for behind the dish. At 33″ with the Horween leather, the PROCM33HT is a top notch game glove for any catcher looking for a high quality mitt for behind the plate.
The TB24 is the Ken Griffey pattern, which is a 12.75″ pattern with a Fastback shell and trapeze web. This mitt is perfect for outfielders who’ve used a trapeze mitt before and need a new gamer.
While not a great baseball mitt, the 12.5″ PRO5048-6HT is perfect for slowpitch softball players. While the 504 is a funky pattern, it perfectly corrals a softball in both the infield and outfield.
Nolan Arenado is simply one of the best two-way players in the MLB today. And while his bat has been doing most of the talking in recent years, you can’t ignore the fact that he’s won six straight Gold Glove awards at the hot corner. Yes, six.
He racked all of these up with pretty much the same glove model, a Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRO12-6TI, with the only change being the addition of Gold Labels after his first few seasons.
His PRO12-6TI is a 12″ mitt with an H-web in the beautiful Timberglaze color, and and it’s pretty much the perfect mitt for the hot corner, and not only because Arenado uses it.
But despite this fact, Nolan Arenado’s glove model is not available. It actually was once available as a Rawlings Glove Club model a few years back, but never found its way into the yearly glove line.
The winner of the Gold Glove award in the outfield for the past three seasons, Mookie Betts has put on an outfield clinic these past few years as the Red Sox right fielder.
And he’s done it all with his trusty Wilson A2K MB50 on his left hand, a 12.75″ outfield mitt with an H-web and deep pocket. It’s essentially a dolled-up version of the A2K 1799.
This year Betts went with a navy blue, vegas gold, and red Superskin colorway to complement his Red Sox uniform. It’s a dope combo in an outfield sector that is typically pretty bland.
It’s a beautiful glove that’s actually in the 2020 Wilson Glove Line, costs $359.99, and can be bought here.
