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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavy shell with scarlet binding and navy lacing, a classic first-base look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee every colorway and pattern in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheapbats.com\/collections\/rawlings-nxt-gloves\"\u003eRawlings NXT collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheapbats.com\/collections\/rawlings-baseball-gloves\"\u003eRawlings glove lineup\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft Game-Ready Leather, ContoUR Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
