Looking at Rawlings' bestsellers, they're mostly full blond gloves, but they're R2G. I've found tons of models that are no longer being made and many people want, but it feels impossible to find something like the 12.25 Kris Bryant or 13 Bryce Harper in non-R2G.
If these sell so well, why do they make so many unicorn vomit colorways?
Ive read that 12.5 is ideal for middle infield and 13 might be a bit big, but it's quite a bit cheaper. How would that size fare?

Just getting back into baseball. Found this 11.25" heart of the hide glove. Love the way it looks. When I close it, it pinches the big knuckle of my pinky (the one you can see in this photo). I loosened the laces a bit but it didn't really change anything.
Is this normal? Will I get used to it, or will the glove feel better when it is broken in?

Played as a kid and just recently started playing catch with my nephew, who's been playing baseball for a few years. It's been fun and I'm considering joining a slowpitch league. How would this serve?
I've never played with a softball, and we play catch with a baseball. I can only afford one really good glove so I'm hoping this is not too big or too small.
For context: I played infield and would like to continue there. It's 12.25" baseball glove which might be a little bit big for baseball and a little bit small for softball, but I'm hoping it'll do the trick. Two would be ideal but just not there yet financially.
I'm up in Canada so can't order directly off of Rawlings. Huge fan of the traditional blond camel colour. Hate blue red etc on my glove.
Some say R2G sucks but I'm wondering if they're just snobs or if it's actually decent?
Any other recommendations for similar blond camel gloves?
Always good to have long relief but with Scherzer and Corbin not performing, think we can try him out instead?
We're going to have guys coming back from the IL, and right now these two are on the chopping block, but it's clear we need to squeeze out every win we can.
The reason you send them down is to protect your depth, but a mediocre performance won't get us to the playoffs, so we should take the gamble at the expense of organizational depth
Pinango:
He's a top 3 hitter on the team right now. It makes absolutely no sense to send down the guy who hits in the 2 spot when he's on the team, the slot reserved for your BEST hitter. We need to work around him to make sure he's an everyday player. Barger in right and Pinango in left works. Lukes, Straw, and Sanchez are great options for any potential injuries/days off, or if Barger doesn't improve. Pinango is also a good DH option when Springer is out. We just need to make it work so he gets the playing time he deserves. Sosa is an easy first cut. Unfortunately, babe is an easy second cut.
Valenzuela:
The risk with DFAing Heineman and making Val our backup catcher is twofold. 1. He gets less playing time. My argument is this doesn't matter. He'll likely play about a third of the games this season if he stays healthy. He'll also get to learn from Kirk. He's already 25. It's not like he's a fresh 18 year old who needs more experience. 2. We lose depth. Heineman has been bad on offense and defense. Val's OPS is more than double what Hein's is. Val's WAR is 1 (best on the team) while Hein's is -0.8 (worst on the team). Val doesn't choke under pressure either. Hein's a 34 year old career backup. Love the guy but he doesn't have it. He's bad enough that we could likely bring up any catcher from triple A and expect roughly the same performance, if not better.
