Easton Professional Collection Gloves

Picking a Professional Collection pattern

Infielders want the 11.5" or 11.75" cut: a shallower pocket that lets you find the ball and get rid of it fast, on a single-post I-web. The 12" PCFP pattern is the glove to buy if you play more than one position; it is deep enough for the grass and controlled enough for the dirt. The 12.5" and 13" outfield gloves add length and pocket depth to run balls down, usually on a Pro H web, which is strong on the ball and open enough to see through against the sky. Pitchers tend to pick the closed basket web at 12" or 12.5" to hide grips. The 34" mitts are built for receiving, with the one-piece solid web that is catcher's-mitt standard, and the Rudi 3.0 is the gamer replica of the pro pattern.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to break in? Premium Reserve steerhide is firm and holds its shape, so expect a real break-in period. It will last for years once it is shaped.

Professional Collection or Ghost NX? The Professional Collection is the stiffer, longer-lasting leather at roughly double the price. The Ghost NX ships game-ready. If you play every week for years, buy this one.

Is there a left-hand throw? Several fielding patterns and the Rudi 3.0 come in left-hand throw; check the size list on each product.

What is ColorSplash? The same Professional Collection mitt and 12.5" glove with a fade dyed across the back and matching lacing. Same leather and construction, different look.
