Description

This is a premium Rawlings Heart of the Hide catcher's mitt, model GRMSOMHH, inspired by the legendary Yadier Molina pattern. Featuring a 34-inch design in an eye-catching Scarlet/Black colorway, this glove was originally produced for Japanese Rubber Baseball (Soft Baseball) but is built with premium materials that make it durable enough for hard baseball as well.

The mitt remains in excellent used condition with much of its original stiffness still intact, making it an outstanding choice for players who prefer shaping the pocket to their own style.

About Japanese Rubber Baseball Gloves

In Japan, there are two major types of baseball gloves:

  • Hard Baseball Gloves
  • Rubber Baseball (Soft Baseball) Gloves

Many people outside Japan are surprised to learn that Japanese rubber baseballs are extremely hard—very similar in hardness to regulation hard baseballs.

Because of this, Japanese rubber baseball gloves are designed with premium materials and strong construction. Although officially made for rubber baseball, this mitt is durable enough for hard baseball use.

Many players actually prefer Japanese rubber baseball gloves because they use high-quality leather that is slightly softer, breaks in faster, and offers exceptional comfort while maintaining impressive durability.

Rawlings Heart of the Hide

The Heart of the Hide series is one of Rawlings' most respected glove lines, trusted by professional players around the world.

Made from premium Heart of the Hide leather, this series is known for:

  • Outstanding durability
  • Excellent shape retention
  • Rich natural leather texture
  • Professional-grade craftsmanship
  • Stable, reliable pocket formation
  • Beautiful aging characteristics over time

The leather gradually conforms to the player's hand while maintaining the firmness needed for years of competitive play.

Yadier Molina Pattern

This mitt is based on the famous Yadier Molina catcher pattern, featuring a deep pocket and secure receiving surface trusted by catchers who value stability, framing, and reliable ball control.

An especially unique feature is the "Pai #4" embroidery, a detail that holds special meaning among dedicated Molina collectors and fans, making this glove even more desirable and collectible.

The mesh back reduces overall weight while improving flexibility and comfort, helping reduce fatigue during long games without sacrificing durability.
