If you look at this glove, on the pinky it had the Rawlings "For the professional player." Does anyone know what this is?

Seeing as to how the seller is from Japan, my best guess would be that this is a glove sold on the Japanese market. I've sure never seen one like it around here!

A buddy on my softball team was stationed overseas and picked up some really strange gloves. One was a red Rawlings Trap-Eze with stampings unlike any I have seen before. This was a glove intended for sale only in Japan.

The "Catalyst" name makes sense for a L/S product. They have used that name on their top-of-the-line softball bats for a few years now. The bats even have a yellow and red color scheme. But, again, I have never seen this name on one of their gloves.

Yeah i knew it was a LS glove, but thats so odd how the font and lettering is exactly like a rawlings... Almost like he had the rawlings stamp himself and branded it, haha.
