Rawlings R9 12 1/2" Baseball First Base Mitt R9FM18BG  

Every ball thrown your way is yours to catch — and the Rawlings R9 12 1/2" First Base Mitt (R9FM18BG) makes sure you catch every single one. Built on the FM18 pattern at a full 12.5 inches, this mitt gives first basemen a wide, deep pocket and maximum reach to scoop short hops, swipe errant throws, and stretch on close plays without flinching. The sleek black and gold colorway with a gold R9 Series badge and gold-script Rawlings branding gives it a sharp, serious look that belongs in the lineup from the first game of the season. With a soft all-leather shell, Modified Pro H-Web, and 80% factory break-in, this mitt arrives practically game-ready right out of the box — making it the go-to choice for select youth and high school first basemen who want pro-style performance without the long conditioning wait.

• The soft, durable all-leather shell arrives 80% broken in from the factory, so your mitt is game-ready almost immediately and you spend your practice time taking throws instead of working leather
• The FM18 pattern at 12.5 inches delivers a wide, deep pocket with maximum reach, giving first basemen the coverage they need to scoop low throws, swipe errant tosses, and secure every catchable ball at the bag
• The Modified Pro H-Web creates a large, structured basket that helps lock the ball in on contact so scoops and one-hop picks stay in the mitt rather than bouncing out at the worst possible moment
• A reinforced palm pad absorbs the sting of hard-thrown balls and sharp line drives so your hand stays protected and comfortable through a full game, a doubleheader, or a long tournament weekend at first base
• A padded thumb loop adds targeted comfort and protection at one of the most-used contact points in the mitt, keeping your thumb cushioned and supported through every rep of the season
• Padded finger back liners add soft, consistent cushioning across the back of every finger, so your hand stays comfortable and fatigue-free whether you're in the middle of a seven-inning game or a full tournament day
• The conventional open back gives your hand a comfortable, traditional fit that works well for high school to adult sized hands, with enough versatility to work for advanced select players in the older age ranges too
• The bold black and gold colorway with gold hardware and a gold R9 Series badge gives this mitt a sharp, polished look that stands out at first base all season long
• Backed by a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty, so you can anchor the infield with confidence knowing your mitt is covered
