Pro Preferred

### Expert Notes
Rawlings Pro Preferred models have been my standard for top-notch baseball gloves ever since I knew what baseball was. And the newest 2023 Pro Preferred releases utilize the same world-class kip leather and sheepskin palm lining that initially convinced me that Pro Preferred’s are the world’s most comfortable glove. Not to mention that Rawlings offers player-specific models for guys like Mike Trout, Ronald Acuña, Kris Bryant and Gerrit Cole—ever heard of them? Ever since the series’ beginning, Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves have been, well, preferred by the pros. And those MLB stars surely know a thing or two about what a great baseball glove should consist of. I trust their judgment. You should, too.

Heart of the Hide

### Expert Notes
An iconic brand’s most iconic glove. Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves are famous for the top-grade, USA steerhide leather they’re crafted from, which makes for a firm and sturdy glove that so many players love. Over time, Heart of the Hide gloves have been remodeled to make them easier to break in and cater more towards players’ specific tastes. The newest Heart of the Hide release is Rawlings’ ‘Gameday 57’ series, which celebrates the MLB’s annual “Gold Glove Award” (introduced in 1957), by individually numbering each model—making every glove a one-of-one collector’s item and on-field gem. When we recall what made us fall in love with baseball, HoH comes to mind.

Icon

## Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat

Known for engineering some of the most trusted and technologically advanced equipment in the game, Rawlings consistently pushes the envelope to meet and exceed the expectations of players at all levels. The ICON offers state-of-the-art features in a carbon composite bat—all of which highlight Rawlings’ commitment to quality, performance, and durability.

  

Perfect bat for: Power hitters who want a perfect blend of heft and control.

### Key features include:

-   In/Tense Carbon Composite: Ensuring maximum barrel size while maintaining optimal stiffness.
    
-   Zero-Loss Collar: Creates a smooth connection between the handle and barrel to eliminate any drag of vibration.
    
-   Balanced swing weight: maximizes bat speed and plays to any type of offensive approach.
    
-   RevGrip: Tapered Premium Grip provides cushion and track.
    
-   Aerodynamic Design: Enhances swing speed without sacrificing power.
    

### Top competitors comparison: [Marucci CAT X Composite](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-x-composite/l175805) and the [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403)

  

The big barrels on the Marucci CAT X Composite and the Louisville Slugger META, both feature flexible-feeling two-piece composite constructions. In comparison, the 2023 Rawlings Icon stands out with its In/Tense carbon composite construction which maximizes barrel size while maintaining it’s stiffness, perfect for big hitters. Each bat caters to specific league regulations and player preferences, with the CAT X Composite and META offering composite technology, while the Rawlings Icon features a zero-loss collar and connection joint creating a smooth connection between handle and barrel.  
  

### Progression of the Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat:

  
2023 is the first year of the Rawlings ICON.  
  

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   The Rawlings Icon is a beast on the field. Hits are powerful and consistent.
    
-   The sweet spot on this thing is like a magnet for the ball. It's tough as nails and can take a beating, which is exactly what you need in the game.
    
-   It's light and easy to swing. The ICON gives me control on the barrel. It feels lighter than other -3 bats. There is ZERO sting on this carbon composite. The ICON has a HUGE sweet spot and pop
    

**CONS**

-   The stock grip is just kinda okay – not as sticky or comfy as I expected. It's no deal-breaker, though. Folks generally like to tweak their grips to suit their style.
    
-   I'm not a big fan of the tapered knob on the ICON because I like to feel the handle more at the bottom (purely preference), but the handle feels fantastic.
    
-   The barrel cracked at the base of the handle. Travel ball practice starts this week and his brand new Icon is useless.
    

### Certification: BBCOR, USSSA, and USA

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The ICON is the new hot bat from Rawlings. It's the top bat in the market right now. In terms of sales, very popular. You've got a lot of guys online doing reviews on it. I think the hype comes from the merger between Easton and Rawlings. They've got a lot of technology and have come up with a really strong-performing bat this season.

Highlight Series

### Expert Notes
Youth baseball’s favorite glove continues to impress. Rawlings incorporated everything
that professional players love about Rawlings gloves, and distilled them into a series
meant for kids. The Highlight Series gloves provides extra palm protection, so players
stay safe in the field, along with completely closed basket webs that I’ve noticed are
always a favorite within youth baseball. What’s best of all is that Highlight series gloves
come in a variety of eye-catching colors that kids love, including pink, purple, red, and
blue—well, not just kids, because I’m 25 years old and love those colors too. Equipping
your child with a Rawlings Highlight glove is the first step to them making highlight-
worthy catches on the field.

Premium Series

### Expert Notes
Rawlings excels when it comes to producing gloves for every age, skill level, and price
point—proven by their Premium glove series. The most recent Premium model was
released in 2021, and features the same durable leather that's easy to close (and that youth players 
love), Yet, the newest release did switch up
the glove’s palm and web color, moving away from black and in favor of dark brown
– which I feel compliments this glove’s old fashioned feel. What hasn’t changed about
the Premium series is that the gloves endure for seasons on end, and often remain
good enough for a youth player to use until it’s time to get an adult glove. Over anything
else, kids want a glove they can trust. And Rawlings Premium gloves are as trustworthy
as they come.

Renegade

### Expert Notes
Rawlings Renegade gloves are perfect for kids who are still versatile enough to play
every position on the field. The most recent Renegade models evolved from older
versions by including a Velcro wrist strap that makes for an easy fit, a pro mesh back
design that I’ve heard youth players are enamored with, and a black, red, and gray
colorway that I’m sure will accent any team’s jersey colors. Yet, newer Renegade
models mirror the older by using the same full-grain leather, deep pocket, and palm pad
for added protection. The Rawlings Renegade glove series covers all the bases and
should continue to be a first choice for you parents out there who value their kids’
safety—and for kids who want a sweet piece of leather.

5150

### Expert Notes
The Rawlings 5150 series is the ultimate workman’s bat. The most recent 2023 Rawlings 5150 furthered the end loaded, heavier feel and extra stiffness that we loved its predecessors for, while adding a brand new bat grip that hitters I’ve spoken to say provides unmatched comfort at the plate. Although some of these hitters also miss the neon green 5150 releases from 2016 and 2017, the model’s evolution can be clearly traced through this bat’s commitment to one piece, alloy bats that care about performance over cosmetics. The Rawlings 5150 is a blue-collar, power hitter’s bat that I’d recommend for anyone who’s looking to pad their home run stats.

Quatro Pro

# Rawlings Quatro Pro Baseball Bat


The Rawlings Quatro Pro delivers a balanced combination of power and speed to enhance each swing. The Quatro Pro's standout feature is the unique four-piece composite construction designed to deliver an optimal sweet spot, maximum pop, and reduced vibration. Rawlings has been an iconic name in baseball equipment since 1887, and the Quatro Pro series is the most technologically advanced bat the brand has ever designed. Every detail of the Quatro Pro is the result of number-crunching and meticulous engineering, intended to elevate each aspect of a player's swing. This bat is perfect for hitters looking for maximum bat speed.

**Perfect bat for:** Youth through collegiate-level players seeking a high-performance bat that delivers speed, power, and a large sweet spot.

### Progression of the Rawlings Quatro Pro Baseball Bat 

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model. 
 
**2019 -** **[Quatro Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/rawlings/quatro-pro/l10010)**

- Continuation of the Flex Barrel technology and focusing on improving the composite material for peak performance. 
- Updated aesthetics and vibration-dampening features for an optimal hitting experience.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* I initially bought the end-loaded Pro Max bat, but it failed the NCAA bat testing. So, I tried the Quatro Pro bat and was surprised by its pop, even though it sometimes feels too light. 
* If you are searching for a composite bat that offers balance, then this bat is a fantastic choice.
* The Quatro Pro has a lot of pop and zero vibration. It has a good sweat spot and is all-around a good bat.

**CONS**



* My son enjoyed using the Rawlings bat and liked the popping sound. However, the knob broke off after only six months of use. We contacted Rawlings and they sent us a new bat as a replacement. Unfortunately, the knob on the new bat broke off again after just three months of use.
* Small sweet spot and weird swing weight
* Rawlings 2-piece bats are inferior quality they break easy and can’t withstand use over time. 


### **Certification**:

USA Baseball, USSSA, and BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The Quatro Pro launched in 2019. Even today, it's one of the hottest bats out there. If you can find one, the Quatro Pro is a great performer; it is lightweight, easy to swing, and has a ton of pop. Probably one of the top five BBCOR bats of all time. 

The first two years had breakage issues. Since then, Rawlings has made some adjustments to the barrel, thickened the sidewalls and made the bat more durable, but in doing so, they lessened the performance. The later models are not as popular as the early ones.

Velo

### Expert Notes
The longest lasting metal bat series on the market is still at its peak. Rawlings legendary Velo series returned in 2022, with a Velo ACP release that I’ve heard hitters say offers unparalleled balance at the plate. Over time, the Rawlings Velo series has evolved by incorporating the ACP (Accelerated Carbon Performance) line that adds extra carbon in the barrel, which we’ve heard does a lot to increase pop. While Velo’s aren’t the best looking bats you’re going to find, they make up for the plainness with top-notch performance. Rawlings’ resilient Velo series should continue to be a favorite for hard-nosed hitters who prefer production over flash.
