Derek Jeter Final Season

Derek Jeter will forever define a generation of baseball greatness. Drafted by the New York Yankees out of high school in 1992, Jeter has been part of the Rawlings family well before his first days donning the fabled Yankee pinstripes. Throughout his illustrious, 20-year career, Jeter personified the Rawlings Brand through his heroics on the field and his community efforts off of it.

From a talent standpoint, Jeter is one of the top players of his generation, and one of the most decorated shortstops of all time. The 13-time All-Star and 5-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner, “Captain Clutch" delivered time and time again, especially in the postseason, leading the Yankees to five World Series titles.

Highlight reels will forever showcase Jeter and Rawlings PRODJ2 crossing Oakland's infield during the 2001 ALDS to cut off and then backhand flip the relay to nab Jeremy Giambi at the plate, or his 2004 over-the-shoulder catch into the stands against the rival Boston Red Sox.

As he enters his final season, Derek Jeter and Rawlings will always be linked by award-winning web gems and an unrivaled commitment to winning. Rawlings salutes and celebrates Jeter's extraordinary career with the re-release of his iconic PRODJ2 and the commemorative and limited-edition PRODJ2W “DJ Final Season" glove, featuring a navy-pinstriped Oval R, authentic PRODJ2 game day model and same pattern replica glove featured in the GG Gamer Series.

Glove Guide
Glove Guide
Left Field:

An outfield ball glove will be much larger in overall length and size from infield models. The pocket will be large and deep, and the glove is usually worn completely over the hand. Open or closed webs can be used efficiently, with Trapeze type webs becoming very popular. Typically, sizes often used range from 12.5" to 12.75", but slightly smaller or larger may work.

Pro Players' Sizes/Models:

Josh Hamilton (LF) - 12.5" - A2000JH32
Jacoby Ellsbury (CF) - 12.75" - PROJR7
Ichiro Suziki (RF) - 12.75" - GGE70VBK
Center Field:

An outfield ball glove will be much larger in overall length and size from infield models. The pocket will be large and deep, and the glove is usually worn completely over the hand. Open or closed webs can be used efficiently, with Trapeze type webs becoming very popular. Typically, sizes often used range from 12.5" to 12.75", but slightly smaller or larger may work.

Pro Players' Sizes/Models:

Josh Hamilton (LF) - 12.5" - A2000JH32
Jacoby Ellsbury (CF) - 12.75" - PROJR7
Ichiro Suziki (RF) - 12.75" - GGE70VBK
Third Base:

Third Base will use a larger ball glove than those at second or short. Known as the "Hot Corner" a third baseman needs a bit of a larger glove to be able to handle and knock down those sharply hit balls in that direction. Third base gloves will have a deeper pocket than the middle infield, but not as deep as the outfield models. This will help with making sure to handle the ball correctly and accordingly there on the corner. Sizes will range from 11.75" to 12", and an open web design is usually most desirable.

Pro Player's Sizes/Models:

David Wright - 12" - A2KDW5
Adrian Beltre - 12" - PRONP5TLB
Chipper Jones - 11.75" - GCP53S
Short Stop:

There is quite a bit of ground to cover while guarding "the hole" at short. Because of this short stops will still prefer larger model than at second and usually still prefer a shallow style pocket to allow for quick pocket to hand transition. This is especially vital for fielding balls deep in the hole. You want to have a glove large enough to snag the ball, but still small enough to be able to maneuver quickly. Sizes can range quite a bit here, but typically you will find 11.5" to 11.75" but depending on preference can go up or down accordingly. Popular web styles will be the "I-web", Modified Trapeze, and Basket Web.

Pro Player's Sizes/Models:

Troy Tulowitzki - 11.5" - PROTT2
Derek Jeter - 11.5" - PRODJ2
Starlin Castro - 11.5" - A20001786
Second Base:

Second base will typically use the smallest glove on the diamond. Quick reactions for turning double plays and making diving snags require a smaller more controlled glove. A shallow, flat pocket is usually the most desirable and at times the glove may not be fully worn on the hand. Sizes can range from 11" to 11.75". Popular web styles will be the I-web, H-Web or Modified Trapeze styles.

First Base:

Obviously, only one of two positions on the diamond that used a specialized mitt for its' position. The mitt is somewhat of a hybrid between a fielder's glove and a catcher's mitt. The design will not vary much, but the desired size and web can vary. Sizes will range from 12" to 12.75". Popular web designs will be the Single Post Web and Horizontal Bar Web.

Popular web designs will be the Basket Web, 2-Piece Closed Web, and the Modified Trapeze.

Catcher:

Obviously, this position used a specific type of mitt. The size and web style will be the main differences found from model to model. Some will prefer a smaller sized mitt to make quick moves from pocket to hand to allow for pick-off plays, while there are those who prefer a larger mitt for an overall bigger target area and a larger margin of error. Popular sizes will vary from 32.5" to 34" but can be found all the way up to 35" patterns. Typically, a closed-type web is most always preferred behind the plate. Popular web designs will be a 1-Piece closed or 2-Piece closed web.
