Rawlings NXT Series 12.5" — Black 302 Outfield Glove
Rawlings NXT Series Baseball Glove 12.5" NXT3028U-6B — Rawlings built the NXT for the serious 12-to-15-year-old: real pro patterns, leather that breaks in without a parent's help, and a ContoUR fit sized for hands that have not finished growing. This is the 12.5" 302 pattern with a Pro H web in Black / Mint / Gray.
Description
Most glove lines skip the years between a youth glove and a pro glove. The NXT is Rawlings' answer: the same patterns the Heart of the Hide and R9 lines use, cut smaller through the wrist and fingers, in a soft game-ready leather with padded palm and finger linings so a teenager can break it in on their own. It is priced for a glove that will be outgrown in two seasons, and built well enough to be handed down when it is.
Black shell with mint NXT logo and binding and gray lacing — dark enough for a traditional program, with a little personality in the trim.

Soft Game-Ready Leather, ContoUR Fit
The NXT shell is a soft, game-ready leather that shapes in weeks rather than months, backed by padded palm and finger linings that take the sting out of the ball. The ContoUR fit tightens the wrist opening and finger stalls so a smaller hand sits deep in the glove and controls it — no flopping, no over-sized feel. Conventional back with a padded thumb sleeve.
12.5" 302 Pattern — Built for the Outfield
The 302 is a true 12.5" outfield pattern: long fingers and a deep pocket that gives you extra reach on balls in the gap and keeps them caught once they are in. It is the pattern to run down fly balls and the one most high-school outfielders end up in.
Pro H Web
The Pro H web is the outfield and third-base standard: two leather uprights with a bar between them, strong on the ball and open enough to track a fly ball through the web against the sky.
Who This Glove Is Built For
Best for:
- Outfielders aged roughly 12 to 15 who have outgrown youth gloves but are not ready for a full pro-size opening
- Travel-ball and high-school players who want a real Rawlings pattern without Heart of the Hide pricing
Consider a different glove if:
- You throw left-handed — this model is right-hand throw only
- You play the infield — the 11.5"–11.75" NXT patterns are the better fit
- You want pro steer-hide that holds its shape for years — step up to Heart of the Hide
- You want a lower price — see Rawlings R9

FAQ
Who is the NXT series for?
Players roughly 12 to 15 — big enough for a real pro pattern, but with hands that are still growing. The ContoUR fit is cut smaller through the wrist and fingers than Rawlings' adult lines, so the glove stays controllable. Adults with small hands like them for the same reason.
How long does it take to break in?
Weeks, not months. The NXT leather is soft out of the box; a few sessions of catch plus a mallet on the pocket and it is game-ready. No steaming required.
Is this the right size and pattern for my position?
The 302 is a true 12.5" outfield pattern: long fingers and a deep pocket that gives you extra reach on balls in the gap and keeps them caught once they are in. If you play somewhere else, the NXT collection covers 11.25" through 12.5" fielder's gloves plus a first base mitt and catcher's mitt.
