Description

Rawlings Heart of the Hide FASTBACK Cal Ripken Jr. Model Infielder Baseball Glove
Model: RG-7H
Color: Camel
Position: Infielder
Throwing Hand: Right-Hand Throw (RHT)

The Rawlings Heart of the Hide FASTBACK RG-7H is a classic Cal Ripken Jr. Signature Model, inspired by one of the greatest infielders in Major League Baseball history. Featuring Rawlings' iconic FASTBACK design, this glove combines legendary craftsmanship, premium leather, and timeless MLB styling that continues to be highly sought after by players and collectors alike.

Built from Heart of the Hide premium steerhide leather, the glove offers outstanding durability, exceptional shape retention, and the rich feel that has made the Heart of the Hide series one of the most respected glove lines in baseball. As the leather breaks in, it molds naturally to your hand while maintaining the firm pocket preferred by advanced players.

The signature FASTBACK design provides excellent wrist support and a secure fit while allowing smooth hand movement for quick defensive reactions. Combined with the classic infield pattern favored by Cal Ripken Jr., this glove delivers outstanding control, fast glove-to-hand transfers, and dependable fielding performance.

Although this glove is officially designed for Japanese Rubber Baseball (Nanshiki / Soft Baseball), Japanese rubber baseballs are much firmer than many players realize—nearly as hard as regulation baseballs. Because of this, premium Japanese rubber-ball gloves are built to withstand repeated high-impact use.

This glove is also durable enough for Hard Baseball. In fact, many players intentionally choose premium Japanese rubber-ball models because they feature slightly softer, higher-quality leather than many traditional hard baseball gloves. The premium leather provides a quicker break-in, superior comfort, and excellent control while maintaining the durability needed for competitive hard baseball.

Finished in a beautiful Camel color, the RG-7H combines classic aesthetics with professional-level performance, making it an excellent choice for players, collectors, and fans of Cal Ripken Jr.
