This is the 32\" catcher's mitt in white and black with gold lacing. Right-hand throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Encore sits between Rawlings' value gloves and the Heart of the Hide line: full-leather shell and palm, a conventional back with a pull-lace adjustable hand opening, and padded fingerback liners so the glove feels broken-in sooner. Rawlings ships it about 65% game-ready — a couple of weeks of catch finishes the job, and the shape holds once it is set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mitt is a conventional-back 32\" pattern with a one-piece closed web: a deep, well-defined pocket that closes on a pitch and keeps it. The bolstered palm base is what makes the Encore mitt comfortable through a full bullpen — less sting on the hand than a plain leather catcher's mitt at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheapbats.com\/collections\/rawlings-baseball-gloves\"\u003eRawlings glove lineup\u003c\/a\u003e or every \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheapbats.com\/collections\/rawlings-catcher-s-mitts\"\u003eRawlings catcher's mitt\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll-Leather Shell and Palm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull leather construction with padded fingerback liners.
