Pros: Solid leather. Breaks in slowly but nicely. Long, deep pocket. I use mine for baseball OF and softball.

Cons: Very stiff out of the box. Really have to work it to get to game condition. Open back needed adjusting to feel right on my hand.

kermankong

Pros: Soft leather, huge pocket, light, laces not too tight (like on some of the pro preferred H-web models), my hand does not get too sweaty, better lining than the deerskin pro preferred. I have this glove and a trapeze Rawling PP and I like this one better. It feels looser, ligher and softer. It is just easier to catch the ball 9 times outta 10.

Cons: Careful with oil when you are breaking it in. I used too much oil and vaseline and it is breaking down a little too quickly for my taste. The padding could be stiffer too because mine is starting to lose its shape after 2 seasons. Definitely use vaseline to break it in though (just not too much).

Eric Purcell

Pros: Great glove. Amazing leather. Breaks in very well with a deep pocket. Love the H-Web and the open back. Would definitely recommend this glove for any outfielder.

Cons: Very little padding. Unless caught directly in the pocket your hand will be hurting.

Pros: Great texture.. really has a good feel to it. I love it and have been ever since i've gone to the minors a year ago. It catches anything and feels like it isn't there. Great price for what you get. Nice and firm so you can shape for it for your taste.

Cons: It takes about a month to break in.But other than that, the gloves perfect.

Pros: This glove is great. I used it all of this past summer and still am now. Took about a week to break in for game use. Great leather, amazing pocket, and pretty light. I have always been a Rawlings guy but i found this glove and it has changed my preference to Wilson.

Cons: none so far.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Wilson A2000 Series: A2000 1799B? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Is this a good glove for softball? bryan
Yes, at 12.5inches, the 1799B is a great choice for a softball glove. It also has a little deeper pocket as well which is another plus.
Mark
How long should this glove take to break in beast boy
Depending on how much attention you are giving the glove you could have it broken in within a month or so. For a quicker break in period I would suggest looking at our glove care kit.
JH
Is this glove ideal for coaching little league and playing softball? d ray
At 12.5 inches, this would be an excellent option to use with the youth team you coach as well as for your softball league. A 12.5 inch glove is exactly what I use for softball as well as playing catch in the backyard with my nephew.
TJ
Do you stock this in RH thrower? GA Coach
What we show on our website is what we have in stock. We should be getting more of these in the next couple of weeks. As soon as we get them, they will be up on our website.
Todd
My son is a smaller 13 year old lefty that plays mostly center field. He has been looking at this glove but I'm concerned that it may be to large for his hand. Your recommendation is appriciated. glegeza
This is a great link that we have that helps pick out the perfect glove for someone; http://www.justballgloves.com/glove-coach/
Todd
Does this model have the MLB embroidery on the back of the "pinky" like the other pro player gloves? GBR
No it will not have the MLB logo on the glove.
Sean
right hand thrower? gilt
As of 10/26/2011, we only have this glove in stock for a left hand thrower. We should get more right hand thrower models in approximately 2-3 weeks. As soon as they arrive we'll have them up on the site.
Kris
you can put your name to the glove? packito
Unfortunately, we do not have the capabilities to customize gloves. You may want to check out Wilson's website or go to customglove.com

My son is 10 yr old will be 11 on opening day of little leage he play's infield. What is the differents between a Youth11.5 & this glove what do recommend for him also the difference form a H-web & I-web? Joe
Youth gloves have shorter finger stalls allowing younger players to open and close the glove easily. This glove is designed for high school and college players. I-Web gloves are normally preferred by infielders and H-Webs are normally preferred by outfielders. I would recommend the Wilson A1000 Showcase Series: SCDW5SS Youth model.
Kara
You list this glove (Wilson 1799 B) as a 12.50 inch glove, but Wilson's website lists this same glove as 12.75 inch. Which is the correct number? wrxtuner03
Both gloves are listed under 12.5" on both sites, you might be looking at a larger but similar model.
William
Can you get this glove in right hand thrower? harry.m
This particular model of the Wilson A2000 is a discontinued model and we will not be receiving anymore shipments. We will be receiving the new models of this A2000 in a right hand thrower though.

What is Super Skin Technology? Steve
