Rawlings Pro Preferred 12.75" — Mike Trout Gameday Pattern, Black
Rawlings Pro Preferred Baseball Glove 12.75" PROSMT27B — the Mike Trout gameday pattern in Rawlings' Pro Preferred kip leather. 12.75" MT27 pattern, Trap-Eze web, Black / Gray / Gold.
Description
Pro Preferred is the top of the Rawlings line: full-grain kip leather, lighter and tighter-grained than steer-hide, with a Pittards sheepskin palm lining that manages sweat so the fit stays constant from April to August. 100% wool padding forms and holds the pocket, pro-grade leather laces and a padded thumb sleeve finish it, and every glove carries its own individual ID number.
Black shell with gray lacing and gold accents — the 2020 Trout gameday colorway.

Full-Grain Kip Leather, Pittards Lining
Kip is the leather pros ask for: lighter than steer-hide, tighter in the grain, and it breaks in to a pocket that stays exactly where you formed it. The Pittards sheepskin palm lining wicks sweat so the glove feels the same in the seventh inning as it did in the first, and the 100% wool padding holds the shape season after season.
12.75" MT27 Gameday Pattern
Mike Trout's own 12.75" pattern — a 303-family outfield shape tuned to his specs, with the Trap-Eze web he has gamed his whole career.
Trap-Eze Web
The Trap-Eze web has been the outfielder's web for more than 50 years: a six-finger trap that snaps shut on the ball and gives the pocket extra depth for balls in the gap.
Who This Glove Is Built For
Best for:
- Outfielders who want the same kip leather and pattern the pros game
- Players who will keep one glove for years — kip holds its shape longer than any other leather Rawlings uses
Consider a different glove if:
- You want a stiffer steer-hide break-in at a lower price — see Heart of the Hide
- You play a different position — the Pro Preferred collection covers infield, outfield, first base and catcher

FAQ
What is the difference between Pro Preferred and Heart of the Hide?
Leather. Heart of the Hide is U.S. steer-hide — stiff, heavy, a long break-in. Pro Preferred is kip: lighter, tighter-grained, faster to break in, and it holds the pocket you form. Pro Preferred also adds the Pittards sheepskin lining and an individual ID number.
How long does a Pro Preferred glove take to break in?
Faster than Heart of the Hide but still a real break-in — a few weeks of catch and mallet work. Kip is soft out of the box in the fingers and firms up in the pocket as the wool padding sets.
Is this the right pattern for my position?
Mike Trout's own 12.75" pattern — a 303-family outfield shape tuned to his specs, with the Trap-Eze web he has gamed his whole career.. For other positions, the Pro Preferred collection covers 11.5" through 12.75" fielder's gloves plus first base and catcher's mitts.
