Rawlings Select Pro Lite Gloves
(27 products)
Select Pro Lite is the kids' corner of the Rawlings pro shop: youth-scaled versions of real gamers styled after players like Kris Bryant, Manny Machado and Brandon Crawford. The shell is a lightweight, soft leather with all-leather lacing, palm and index-finger padding and a cushioned fingerback lining, so it closes the first week without a parent working it in. Every model is cut on a Youth Pro Taper fit, a slightly smaller hand opening than a standard youth glove for more control.
Sizes run 10.5" to 12.25" with Pro I webs on the infield patterns and Pro H webs on the outfield and third base patterns, plus an 11.5" first base mitt and a 32" youth catcher's mitt with a one-piece solid web. Several models come in both right- and left-hand throw; the rest are right-hand only. Prices run from about $51 to $75.
For younger or smaller players start with Sure Catch; when they hit 12 or 13 the NXT is the next step. See all Rawlings baseball gloves.
