Description

The Wilson A2K Series simply exudes greatness. These gloves were meticulously developed with a focus on durability and a break-in faster than you can imagine. Made from Pro Stock Select Leather, these gloves use only the top 5% of all hides Wilson purchases and were triple sorted for consistency and flawlessness. This unbelievable consistency in the leather leads to a stronger pocket and an all around higher quality glove. The A2K Series features Rolled Dual Welting where strips of Pro Stock Leather are skived thin and rolled to provide long-lasting shape. Inside, a thin, strategically cut piece of leather is placed between the palm and outer shell, providing maximum pocket stability and improving the durability where the most wear-and-tear is experienced. Its 2X Palm Construction also provides maximum shock resistance during the catch. A2K gloves showcase the time and passion that Wilson's craftsmen has put into every single glove they produce, as their master technicians spend 3X longer pounding and shaping the glove by hand before it even leaves the factory. That should be all the proof you need that the A2K from Wilson was created with unparalleled craftsmanship, and is one of the highest quality gloves a player could ever take to the diamond.

This Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB162800 First Base Mitt features a 12.00" pattern size, a Reinforced Single Post Web, and is one of the most popular patterns among Professional first basemen.

Does Wilson make a 13 inch first base glove? winner

how difficult to break in?? How long vs. the Nokona expensive soft leather model??? jdjk
The Nokona X2 Elite Series (X2-1250FB) has a shorter break-in time than the 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB162800). The A2K series has a fairly lengthy break-in process which is typical of that high end quality leather. The X2 series is a rare combination of nice leather that does not require as much break-in.
Patrick
Does Wilson make a first base glove with SuperSkin? ben
Wilson does make a first base mitt available at JustBallGloves that has a SuperSkin backing on it. That model is the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A20RB151613SS First Base Mitt). Unfortunately, this 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2K162800 First Base Mitt) will not feature the SuperSkin backing.

I was wondering if Wilson's gloves are 3 finger gloves? I usually have the open back because of it, but I really like the Wilson glove quality. I ordered the Marruci Pro Founders (tan). Is that as good quality glove as the Wilson A2K? jawbreaker999
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2K162800 First Base Mitt features a standard fit and it is not considered a 3 finger glove. The Marucci Pro Founders series is an excellent glove line and they are very comparable in quality to the Wilson A2K line.

Is the 12.00 inch length good for a high school player? dad
Most 1B in high school will likely use a 1B mitt between 12.50 to 12.75 inches. The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2K162800 First Base Mitt is a 12.00 inch pattern and would probably be too small for most 1B.
