Is this a maroon/brick red color? nick
Yes, the red coloring featured on this 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB161786SS) will be darker (a maroon or brick style) when compared to a bright or scarlet red coloring.
Ben
How used is used? Can pictures be sent? jerry
We do not take pictures of the used gloves because, in general, pictures do not really illustrate the use of the glove. Typically the level of use of a glove is more about feel rather than visible wear. Typically, if we have a used model of nice gloves like the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB161786SS) it does not last long enough on the site for pictures to be taken.

Would this glove be suitable for a youth, 11 yrs old; who plays good travel baseball? He plays infield as well as pitches, and wants the A2000. Is he better suited for a youth-sized glove or will this one work for him? Dave
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS is a great glove but could be a little big on an 11 year old (wrist opening and finger stalls). I would suggest looking into a Dustin Pedroia A2000 model as these glove will feature a smaller wrist opening and tighter finger stalls. Those options would be the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB16DP15SS or the Wilson A2000 Baseball Glove: A20RB15DP15GM.
Cameron

The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB161786SS) is maroon and black.

How long is the break-in period? How much is it broken in by the factory? Mikey
Wilson does not list the exact amount of break-in required for the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS. However, it will be about 60% factory and 40% player.
Jason
I play infield and pitcher at high school level would this be suitable for me? Sam
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS is an infield specific pattern so it would be perfect for a high school infielder.
John P.
Can this glove be used by pitchers? Sam
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS is ideally for middle infielders and third base. You can use it as a pitcher, however pitchers typically prefer a closed web so they can hide the ball better.
Angelique
I am looking into getting a white customized Wilson A2000, and I'm curious if there are any ways to keep it clean and looking like new. Can you give me tips on how to keep it clean, and are there any solutions that repel dirt and water that can help with that? Jose Ruiz
There is no real way to keep a glove that is white or any other light colored leather free from dirt, etc. As for repelling some of this dirt, water, etc. you may find it beneficial to get a glove with SuperSkin; reduces excess weight, repels moisture, 2X stronger than leather.
Cameron
Is this the brick red color from the Wilson custom glove builder? Also, is it close to maroon? luke7
Yes, the color of the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS is the brick red color option in the Wilson custom glove builder. I would absolutely say that it is close to maroon.
John P.

Would this glove be a good size for 14 year old boy? Red
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS features an 11.50" pattern and it is typically a good option for a 14+ infielder.
Jason
I am a 12 year old boy who plays travel baseball year round. I play second and third base. (1) Should I get an A2000 or an A2K? As well, what model should I get? (2) Is there a way to buy a glove so that you can break it in more than the factory? (3) Do gloves without SuperSkin tend to have softer, thicker and more comfy leather? LeoCubs11
(1) For you, I think that this 11.5" model of the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB161786SS) should be a fine model to use between 2nd and 3rd base. (2) A2000 models will come with a break-in that is mostly left to the player and you would be able to mold it to your hand exclusively. (3) On the backing of a glove without SuperSkin, you will have a traditional leather backing that will be thicker. Some players do find the traditional leather backing to more comfortable to wear.
Ben
Is the darker color black or dark blue? Conbonz
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS will feature black as well as the cherry red color.

Would this be a good glove for a 14 year old 3B? james
At 11.50", the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS could work for 3B, as well as 2B/SS. However, some 3B prefer top have a slightly longer glove at 11.75". But in the end, it all comes down to your preference.
Marcus
Is this glove hard to break in? BOB
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB161786SS) is going to have high quality leather and be a little be harder to break in than the typical glove.
Carter
Do you recommend getting this glove steamed? Devin
Personally I never recommend steaming a glove, as it can cause the life of the leather to be significantly reduced.
Kyle J.
Is the glove a lot harder to break in because of the SuperSkin? Billy
The 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS will actually be slightly easier to break in than a regular A2000 model due to the SuperSkin. This feature makes the glove lighter and the leather slightly more supple.
Cameron
What is the best way that you would recommend to break this glove in? Bob
Ideally, you will want to just play catch to break-in the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS. That way the glove forms to the players hand and it can break-in specifically to the way they use the glove.
Jason
Would the pocket break in too small for 3B? If so, what glove would you suggest? Hallway
There would be no issues using the 2016 Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: A20RB161786SS although most would go with a slightly larger glove at 11.75".
