Rawlings brand. Model: PRO-RV23
Technically the most expensive baseball glove is the Nike Air Diamond Elite Pro because it costs $400 exactly and the Rawlings Primo is listed @ $399.99.
In my opinion, Akadema offers the best quality baseball gloves today and is looking at building a reputation on quality and workmanship as opposed to larger companies focused on creating margins on sales for each glove manufactured.In my opinion, The Rawlings Pro Preferred, heart of the hide, Wilson A2000, Nike Pro Gold Tradition. It depends what you are looking for in a glove.
No, not at all, Franklin specializes in Batting Gloves, if you are looking for a good quality glove, then I would suggest brands such as Wilson (A2K), Rawlings (Pro Preferred), Mizuno (Pro Limited), Nokona (American Pro). Gloves are as most things in the sense that you get what you pay for, so a quality glove will cost anywhere from $150 to $400, I am a middle infielder and I currently use a 11 inch Nokona American Pro AMG1100WMT, it is a beautiful glove and it was only $175.00.
If you go to http://www.rawlings.com/customglove/ and view all the pro's customized gloves you can see his.
It's the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Glove or Akadema gloves. They both use the top 5% steerhide for this glove, and the Rawlings heart of the hide gloves are the #1 chosen glove by pro players. Akadema is the top used glove by the up and coming MLB prospects and top college programs.
Leather quality, pro preferred retains shape, gold glove is pre broken in so it loses its shape easily, price, overall quality.
