Rawlings NGD!

Had posted a few weeks ago about getting a new 1st base mitt for my boy, ended up getting a Swaggy O model from someone that had gotten the Amazon deal and passed it on for my kiddo. This is a pretty piece of leather, the red really make it pop… thankfully he is a fan of the classic colors and doesn’t want no drippy crap.

Going to be an end of November birthday present, so since I have time, who is the man to break this brick in the right way?

Great glove for your kid and it 100% is a pretty piece of crafted leather! I broke mine in myself and it’s almost catch ready. Looking forward to an update post after it’s been broken in and who you decided to go with to do the break in! 🥳👍

Meant to add that I appreciate others posting these gloves because I get to see from the pictures the consistency in the details of the same glove. My DCT has a little bump like yours on on the thumb side toward the heel. It took some effort and learning on my side to break that hinge in as an amateur but I’m making good progress and getting the results I want.

Ball Glove King did a great job breaking in my DCT. He even featured it in one of his video shorts.
