Rawlings R9 ContoUR 12" Baseball First Base Mitt R9FMU-17BT  

First base is only as good as the mitt on your hand — and the Rawlings R9 ContoUR 12" First Base Mitt (R9FMU-17BT) makes sure young players have everything they need to anchor the infield with confidence. The ContoUR fit is built from the ground up for youth players with smaller hands, featuring narrow and lowered finger stalls, a smaller wrist opening, and an adjustable pull-lace strap so the mitt wraps snugly around your player's hand from day one. The bold black and tan colorway with gray laces and red Rawlings script gives it a sharp, serious look that any young first baseman will be proud to flash at the bag. With a soft all-leather shell, Modified Pro H-Web, and 80% factory break-in, this mitt is practically game-ready right out of the box — and because it's built on pro-style patterns, every fundamental your player develops now will carry forward seamlessly to adult models when the time comes.

• The soft, durable all-leather shell arrives 80% broken in from the factory, so your young player can get this mitt game-ready almost immediately and spend practice time taking throws instead of conditioning leather
• The ContoUR fit features narrow and lowered finger stalls, a smaller wrist opening, and an adjusted back opening built specifically for youth players with smaller hands, so the mitt wraps snugly and gives full contact across all five fingers for better feel and glove control on every play
• The adjustable pull-lace wrist strap combined with a smaller hand opening lets your player create a custom, locked-in fit that stays secure and comfortable through full games and long tournament days at first base
• A thermoformed wrist liner molds to the back of your player's wrist over time, creating a personalized fit that gets more comfortable and secure the more they wear it through the season
• The Modified Pro H-Web creates a wide, structured basket that secures errant throws and low scoops on contact, so your player can attack every ball thrown to first base with confidence instead of uncertainty
• The 12-inch size gives young first basemen maximum reach and a deep, forgiving pocket that makes off-target throws catchable, turning potential infield errors into outs that keep your team in the game
• A reinforced palm pad absorbs the sting of hard-thrown balls and sharp line drives so your player's hand stays protected and comfortable through a full game, a doubleheader, or a long tournament weekend at the bag
• A padded thumb loop adds targeted comfort and protection at one of the most-used contact points in the mitt, keeping your player's thumb cushioned and supported through every single catch of the season
• Padded finger back liners add soft, consistent cushioning across the back of every finger, so your player's hand stays comfortable and fatigue-free no matter how many throws they receive in a single day
• Built on pro-style patterns, this mitt transitions naturally to adult models when your player is ready to make the move, so the fundamentals they build now carry forward without missing a beat
• Backed by a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty, so you can invest with confidence knowing the mitt is built to hold up every time your player takes the field
