The Rawlings Sandlot 11.5" Modified Trap-Eze Baseball Glove stands out not just for its performance but also for its Sandlot Edition design, paying homage to the iconic movie The Sandlot. The glove’s vintage aesthetic, featuring rich brown leather and classic stitching, beautifully mirrors the timeless, nostalgic feel of the film. The quality construction, from the durable leather to the flawless finishing, truly encapsulates the spirit of the movie. The craftsmanship is outstanding, which is no surprise coming from Rawlings, a brand known for premium gloves. I bought the "Modified Trap-Eze design", and for me it provides excellent flexibility and ball control, making it perfect for quick plays. Its unique lacing creates a deep pocket, allowing for a secure grip on the ball, and the overall appearance it lends to the glove is amazing. The lightweight construction ensures smooth and swift movements, enhancing overall fielding performance. This glove is great for the casual and competitive player alike. One thing to note is that this glove is extremely stiff out of the box—common with high-quality leather gloves. It feels rigid, and it’s clear that some effort is needed to get it game-ready. Fortunately, I already had a great break-in process in mind. Here's what worked for me: I used Ariat mink oil paste, boot brushes, and a custom-made rubber mallet that I shaped using a grinder. First, I applied a light coat of the mink oil paste, focusing on the pocket area to soften the leather and help the glove become more flexible. Mink oil is great for conditioning and softening the leather while protecting it from drying out. Once I had it well-coated, I grabbed the mallet and began pounding the pocket, working the leather to form a nice, deep pocket. Repeating this process over time significantly softened the glove and helped shape it perfectly for my hand. This method, using mink oil and a mallet, is highly recommended by experts. Both the Bruce Bolt and Rawlings guides emphasize the importance of physically working the glove to break it in effectively. Using a mallet helps create a well-defined pocket and allows the glove to mold to your hand for a personalized fit, which enhances control on the field​. The palm darkens noticably during this process, so be sure to use leather brushes to spread the oil out after the initial application to create a pleasing gradient. Don't apply to much to the "fingers" of the glove, as you want those to remain stiff for a secure capture of the ball. Overall, the Rawlings Sandlot glove has become incredibly comfortable after a thorough break-in. The attention to detail, from the leather quality to the beautiful aesthetics, makes it not only functional but also a piece of gear you can truly admire. Highly recommend it!

Great glove. Break-in was quick. Quality is good

This is a beautiful glove! It is soft and broken in upon arrival and it’s great to use for laid-back play. It makes for an easy catch but it is still super durable.

Hard to break in! Oiled it. Beat it with a mallet. Put it in the oven for 10 min. Been living on my dash for weeks. Comfortable nice fit and catches well once its broken in some

This Rawlings Sandlot glove exceeded my expectations. The leather is top quality soft yet durable. It feels comfortable right from the first use, and after a short break-in period, it molds perfectly to the hand. Ideal for infield players, as it has the perfect size and a quick, responsive close. The design is classic and elegant, with a professional finish and well made stitching. You can tell it’s built to last for many seasons. The grip and ball control are excellent as well.

Glove is great just what I ordered. However the driver decided to blow his nose and throw the paper towel in my yard

Good glove, took a while to break in but it is well made. My son is 11 and it fits perfectly.

Muy buena calidad

A entrega foi muito rápida, fiz a compra dia 3 de julho e dia 15 de julho foi entregue aqui no Brasil. É um excelente produto! Acabamento perfeito , todo feito em couro e tamanho 11 1/2 inch . Tenho 1,73m e 72kg e minhas mãos são medianas. Ficou perfeito na minha mão. Recomendo a todos!

Growing up playing travel ball, high school, college, and in the minors I was a heart of the hide guy. Haven’t bought a new glove in 10+ years so for $100> glove it’s worth the price. Definitely not game ready and the glove is a darker brown than in the pictures. I like the color combo and won’t take long to break in.
