Rawlings Shut Out Fastpitch Catchers Mitt

The Rawlings Shut Out series is designed to bridge the gap between entry-level gear and elite equipment. It offers enough performance features for a competitive player, but the focus on comfort and control makes it a very approachable option for someone moving up from their first glove.

A 31.5-inch mitt is considered a standard size for fastpitch catchers. It provides a large enough pocket to secure the ball reliably while remaining compact enough to allow for quick transfers and efficient framing behind the plate.

While every leather mitt requires some work to shape, the Shut Out series is engineered for a more immediate, game-ready feel. You will still need to spend time playing catch to soften the leather, but it is designed to be usable much faster than stiffer, professional-grade gloves.

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for a Right Hand Thrower (RHT). If you throw with your left hand, you will need to look for a model designated as a Left Hand Thrower (LHT) or 'Full Right' glove.

The mitt is constructed with a focus on control, which helps in maintaining a steady hand when receiving the ball. The pocket depth and padding are balanced to absorb impact without excessive rebound, allowing you to keep the ball in the zone more effectively.
