Overview
Not a soft, ready-shaped glove, the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Molina mitt is a stiff catcher's model with a closed one-piece web, a padded thumb sleeve and a lightweight mesh back. Rawhide laces from Tennessee Tanning hold the leather shell together.
A serious catcher gets a large pocket area and durable materials, with the shell already partly broken in. The limitation is exactly that break-in: the stiffness means time and work before it moves like a game glove.
Who it's for
A catcher at the serious level who wants a fully closed web and a big pocket in leather. Beginners, or anyone who wants a game-ready feel on day one, should look at a softer mitt.
Pros and cons
- Fully closed web
- Steerhide leather shell
- Padded thumb sleeve
- Mesh backing is light
- Stiff, long break-in
- Right hand throw only
- Care guidance not listed
Performance notes
The web is closed, so the pocket holds its shape behind the plate, and the leather shell and lining resist wear from repeated catches. Break-in sets the final pocket, so how a player works the mitt matters more than the base material.
