The first Rawlings glove you buy will be the last brand you ever want.

Why not start with Rawlings’ Mark of a Pro 11.5” baseball glove?

This glove, model number TP1150MT, features a Pro Taper fit with a Modified Trap-Eze web and conventional back. It is available for left-handed players under model number TP1150MT-RH.

"This is a great glove with an excellent value for the price,” wrote Rawlings Gear reviewer ModifiedTrap319. “I would definitely recommend it, though I am still trying to break it in.”

Mark of a Pro gloves are constructed 80 percent broken in.

“I got it as the first Rawlings glove I have ever got and am going to only get Rawlings gloves from now on,” the reviewer continued. “I play second base, though sometimes I play shortstop and I love it. Perfect glove.”

All gloves in Rawlings’ Mark of a Pro series all feature the Pro Taper design and small hand openings.

The gloves are made with an oiled leather shell, leather lacing and the Zero Shock™ sting reduction palm pad.

Mark of a Pro gloves are recommended for 8- to 11-year-olds who play at least 40 games in a year or who are ready to move into a better glove but whose hand is still too small for a Rawlings’ Heart of the Hide, Pro Preferred and Primo gloves.
