THE PICTURE IS DECEIVING AS IT DOESN'T SHOW JUST HOW DEEP OF A POCKET THERE IS ON THE GLOVE. Here is your chance to put your hand in the same glove as some of the league's best. Rawlings bring an excess of baseball gloves with them to Spring Training each year so that they can supply their Advisory Staff Major League Baseball players with an exuberant amount to choose from. Once Spring Training is all said and done, there is always a surplus that did not get utilized on the field and one man's overstock is another man's treasure. Rawlings’ Pro Preferred line of ball gloves continues to combine top pro game-day patterns and pro-grade materials to deliver the quality and performance that the very best in the game demand. Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves feature impeccable kip skin leather that breaks in to specific playing preferences, forming the perfect pocket. The high-performance sheepskin lining wicks moisture away, keeping the hand dry for better control when players need it most. The Rawlings PROSMT23KMOPRO is 12.25 inches in length and features Rawlings dual post web. The dual post web offers a deep pocket, ideal for securing the ball at first base. The hand opening features a single finger fastback design with laced binding. The single finger fastback adds comfort to the glove, while the laced binding provides a secure and snug fit – keeping the glove in place, even during the toughest plays. The Rawlings PROSMT23KMOPRO Pro Preferred 12.25 inch baseball glove is cut, shaped and put together by a single, master craftsman the entire way through the process. This craftsman takes the time to break-in the glove about 30% of the way, leaving about 70% of the break-in for the player to shape and form the glove to their liking. The PROSMT23KMOPRO from Rawlings is for the elite first baseman looking for a glove to match their level of play.

A quality glove conditioner will do much to reduce the break-in period for any stiff new glove . Almost all glove conditioners will generally darken the leather and appearance of lighter colored gloves. If you buy a new glove and don't like the look of the pre-oiled palm area, condition the glove with a premium product such as Wilson's Pro Stock Glove Conditioner and the pocket/palm area will darken and blend in more with the rest of the glove. TIP: Regardless of whether you prefer the natural method of breaking in a glove, sooner or later you will have to recondition your glove! Personally, I recommend cleaning and conditioning a glove each and every year after a good season of use. All leather gloves will start to dry out and laces will become brittle when subjected to regular use. Prolonged exposure to sand and dirt, wind, rain, hot sun, etc. will take its toll on even the very best glove. PLEASE stay away from those cheap oils, foams or other liquid products out there on the market. The foams don't work and liquids such as oils are absorbed deep into the glove, add a tremendous amount of weight, and are nothing more than a magnet for attracting dirt and debris. Also, PLEASE don't ever bake your baseball glove in the oven or microwave or soak it in the tub to aid in the break-in process. You will invariably destroy a very fine piece of leather and take years off a gloves life! Personally, I never use anything but a paste type glove conditioner. Although I prefer Wilson Pro Stock Glove Conditioner, there are comparable products on the market from manufacturers such as Easton, Nokona, etc. Regardless of what brand of paste type conditioner you choose to use, do yourself a favor and make sure it contains lanolin and vitamin E. Nothing is better at restoring and revitalizing the leather on your glove! With a little care, your glove should last for many years and most likely outlive your baseball career.
