Quick hands need a snug glove. The Rawlings Heart of the Hide 11.75" (PROR2175-2M) uses the 2175 infield pattern—a narrow hand stall, shallow pocket, and tighter fit—built for middle infielders who want fast glove-to-hand transitions. The I-Web makes it easy to secure grounders and fire across the diamond, and the R2G build means it shows up with extra factory softening and a re-engineered heel pad, so you only have about 35% player break-in to finish. Premium U.S. steerhide, deertanned cowhide lining, and a thermoformed wrist keep it comfortable and game-ready, and the Teal / Blue / Blonde colorway gives it real shelf and field appeal.
