If you’re a dad trying to keep up with your kids baseball career as a pitcher, and on a budget … this catchers mitt is the way to go . Is there better .. yes. But for the money .. this is more than enough . Great quality. Great feel. Break in is moving along quickly considering I’m going the natural route by just using it. Can’t say enough about this mitt. So again, if you’re on a budget and your kid is throwing hard, this mitt is the way to go.

I played high school baseball and now playing in a men’s league. If you’re looking for a basic glove at a cheap price that will last you a while, this is it. It’s actual leather, I would put it over the Wilson 950.

Got this glove for the upcoming softball season and realized it’s a little bit more of a baseball glove. It looks really good. It feels good on your hands. Once you get past the crazy stiffness of a new glove.

Had to retire my Little League glove from over 30 years ago as my son was becoming more interested in baseball.After a ton of research along with testing, I found the glove quality and color very . The size is accurate, comfortable and the leather is very durable.This glove has potential to become the glove my youth player could grow into.Break-in is about 50/50 from the factory. Worked it for about a week with mallet, catch and practice and it's showing signs of lasting a long time.

Just a dad who needed a glove to help coach kids ball. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done perfectly. Broke in fast.

My son needed a 1st baseman's glove. This is exactly what he wanted and needed. Took no time at all to break it in. Glove quality is very high. Currently he plays LL and Travel Ball.

Growing up playing travel ball, high school, college, and in the minors I was a heart of the hide guy. Haven’t bought a new glove in 10+ years so for $100> glove it’s worth the price. Definitely not game ready and the glove is a darker brown than in the pictures. I like the color combo and won’t take long to break in.

The Rawlings Sandlot 11.5" Modified Trap-Eze Baseball Glove stands out not just for its performance but also for its Sandlot Edition design, paying homage to the iconic movie The Sandlot. The glove’s vintage aesthetic, featuring rich brown leather and classic stitching, beautifully mirrors the timeless, nostalgic feel of the film. The quality construction, from the durable leather to the flawless finishing, truly encapsulates the spirit of the movie. The craftsmanship is outstanding, which is no surprise coming from Rawlings, a brand known for premium gloves.I bought the "Modified Trap-Eze design", and for me it provides excellent flexibility and ball control, making it perfect for quick plays. Its unique lacing creates a deep pocket, allowing for a secure grip on the ball, and the overall appearance it lends to the glove is amazing. The lightweight construction ensures smooth and swift movements, enhancing overall fielding performance. This glove is great for the casual and competitive player alike.One thing to note is that this glove is extremely stiff out of the box—common with high-quality leather gloves. It feels rigid, and it’s clear that some effort is needed to get it game-ready. Fortunately, I already had a great break-in process in mind. Here's what worked for me:I used Ariat mink oil paste, boot brushes, and a custom-made rubber mallet that I shaped using a grinder. First, I applied a light coat of the mink oil paste, focusing on the pocket area to soften the leather and help the glove become more flexible. Mink oil is great for conditioning and softening the leather while protecting it from drying out. Once I had it well-coated, I grabbed the mallet and began pounding the pocket, working the leather to form a nice, deep pocket. Repeating this process over time significantly softened the glove and helped shape it perfectly for my hand.This method, using mink oil and a mallet, is highly recommended by experts. Both the Bruce Bolt and Rawlings guides emphasize the importance of physically working the glove to break it in effectively. Using a mallet helps create a well-defined pocket and allows the glove to mold to your hand for a personalized fit, which enhances control on the field. The palm darkens noticably during this process, so be sure to use leather brushes to spread the oil out after the initial application to create a pleasing gradient. Don't apply to much to the "fingers" of the glove, as you want those to remain stiff for a secure capture of the ball.Overall, the Rawlings Sandlot glove has become incredibly comfortable after a thorough break-in. The attention to detail, from the leather quality to the beautiful aesthetics, makes it not only functional but also a piece of gear you can truly admire. Highly recommend it!

I bought this for a 15u utility glove. Break in is easy and the thumb and pinky stay stiff. Definitely different leather from the 2018 model but I think it’s still a good choice. If you’re playing house league it will last a few seasons. Anything more competitive get a R9 or better.

Nachdem mir der "Rawlings Player Preferred" am Handrücken trotz des Klettverschlusses etwas zu eng war (hab ziemlich große Hände) habe ich mit dem "Sandlot" jetzt die für mich perfekte Wahl gefunden.Fühlt sich direkt wie ein zweites zu Hause an, tolles Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, hervorragend verarbeitet, pünktliche Lieferung und der Shop war für eine kurze Nachfrage auch direkt erreichbar...sehr gut!Jetzt muss ich ihn nur noch einbrechen und dann geht's los...

Good quality, affordable price. Too bad the seller does not sell some decent bats too.
