Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

MLB Team Logo collection Heart of the Hide infield glove with a Boston Red Sox logo embroidered on the thumb, in the 200 pattern, 11.75 in, with a Pro I web, steer hide shell, deer-tanned cowhide lining and moldable padding. Right-hand throw only, conventional back, thermoformed wrist lining and a player break-in figure of 60; the page carries a team selector listing seven MLB teams.

Type	Infield glove
Size	11.75 in What this means Measured from the heel to the top of the index finger. Infielders use smaller gloves (10.25 to 11.75 in) for quick transfers; outfielders larger (12 to 12.75 in); first base and catcher's mitts are measured differently. Tip: Bigger is not better for a young infielder. A glove they can close beats a glove that looks like a pro's.
Web	Pro I
Leather	Top Grade U.S. Steer Hide What this means Heavy, durable adult-cattle leather. Stiff at first, lasts for years. Most pro lines use it.
Hand	Right-hand throw

The maker says	Made just for any fan or collector. Meticulously crafted from world renowned, ultra-premium steer-hide leather for the same quality and performance many of the game's top players demand. The 200 pattern is popular for its deep, round pocket promoting lightning fast ball transfers and great versatility across the infield. The Pro I-web is preferred by many of the best infielders. Built by hand by the same craftsmen as baseball's top pros.

Fit profile

Stated comes off the maker's page; derived is worked out from what the maker states: its words, its leather, its numbers; graded is Patrick's call; unknown means the class is not known yet.

LeatherstatedSteerhide
Break-inderivedStiffDerived from stated player break-in of 60%.
What this means
Pro-grade leather such as Japanese kip or steerhide. Can take weeks to months to break in and a young player may not be able to close it at all at first. Lasts for years once broken in.
Tip: Do not buy a stiff pro glove for a player under 12 unless you are ready to break it in for them.
Closing effortderivedHardDerived: stiff build in a mitt or large pattern.
What this means
How hard a young hand has to squeeze to close the glove on a ball. Easy means a soft build and a smaller pattern; hard means stiff leather or a big mitt.
Tip: If your player drops balls that hit the pocket, closing effort is usually the reason, not the hands.
