Description
New for The Wilson A2K Baseball Glove is the premier and highest regarded ball glove by Wilson. This is the one top players turn to when they want a long lasting glove that breaks in without breaking down. These models are meticulously crafted and constructed with a focus on durability and shaping. Made up of Pro Stock Select Leather, the best ball glove leather out there, the A2K only uses the top 5% of Wilson's leather for guaranteed consistency and flawlessness. This leads to a stronger pocket and an all around higher quality baseball glove. Adding to the greatness is the fact that master technicians spend three times longer pounding and shaping the A2K by hand for a reduced break-in period. With the combination of the additional shaping and Wilson's Rolled Dual Welting, which is where thin strips of Pro Stock leather are skived thin and rolled, the A2K retains its shape much better over the long haul. Another great feature of the Wilson A2K is the Double Palm Construction. A thin strategically cut piece of leather is placed between the palm liner and outer shell, providing maximum pocket stability and shock resistance. Wilson and their glove technicians are devoted to handcrafting the hardest working gloves in the game. Time and passion are put into every single glove whether it's made for play on an MLB field or your local diamond. It's no surprise that Major League Baseball players choose to use Wilson to get them through a 162 game season. That should be all the proof you need that the Wilson A2K is created with unparalleled craftsmanship. Wilson: The Official Ball Glove Of Major League Baseball!

Have you gotten any feedback that recent A2K gloves (last 5 years or so) get floppy really fast? I bought an A2K model 1786 about 8 years ago and it is still an awesome glove - great flexibility in the pocket, but still stiff on the sides. 3 years ago, I bought an A2K model 1787 and I could tell right away that the leather was thinner and the finish was slicker and shinier. That glove got "floppy" after about a year and a half. Then last year I bought my son an A2K model 1787 as a congratulatory gift for making his high school team. That glove also seemed thinner and was slicker than my old A2K. That glove got floppy within 7 or 8 months. I have since noticed that several of the kids my son plays with have A2000's and they're still stiff even after considerable play and wear. This has all made me wonder whether, several years ago (in between my first and second gloves), maybe Wilson started making the A2K with thinner leather to help with a faster break-in or something. Have you heard comments like this from anyone else? Brenk Johnson
The issue of A2K models becoming worn down and floppy within a short period of time (less than a year) is not a common issue that we are aware of. Gloves have been constructed differently than in the past (most common thing today is infield gloves will not feature the padding at the base of the palm like they did before) but we are not aware of any changes Wilson has made concerning the leather quality. As for the break-in period, we are seeing some manufacturers feature models with more of a factory break-in in regards to the higher end models. This could be something that Wilson is doing currently but we cannot confirm this.

Is there a difference between the 2017 A2K 11.75 and the 2016 Model? Mike
The only difference between the 2017 Wilson A2K 11.75" Baseball Glove: A2KRB171787 and the 2016 version will be the colorway design.

How am I breaking this glove in? It is really stiff. Should I have it steamed? I need it in 2 weeks. Bubba
The best way to break in the 2017 Wilson A2K 11.75" Baseball Glove: A2KRB171787 is to us some glove oil/conditioner and then play catch with the glove and use a baseball or mallet to focus on areas that are stiffer than others. Would recommend checking out the glove resource guide to see how to improve break in of a glove. As for steaming a glove, would not recommend this. Although it will help facilitate a quicker break in it can also dry out the leather and thus compromise the integrity of the leather down the road. Within a 2 week time frame one should be able to break in the 2017 Wilson A2K 11.75" Baseball Glove: A2KRB171787 if proper time is spent playing catch/softening up the leather with a mallet.

I play infield in high school ball so obviously the glove would be good for my current position. If I was going to switch to the outfield, would this be a glove you would still recommend? DR
The 2017 Wilson A2K 11.75" Baseball Glove: A2KRB171787 is an 11.75 inch glove and is better suited for 3B and possibly SS. For the OF, we would recommend getting a glove like the 2017 Wilson A2K 12.75" Baseball Glove: A2KRB171799. This larger size is more ideal for a high school OF.

I am a 6'4" 3rd baseman. What size glove should I get? eli
At third base, I would suggest an 11.75" glove, such as the 2017 Wilson A2K 11.75" Baseball Glove: A2KRB171787.
