Description
Since its introduction in 1957, the original Wilson A2000 Series has set the standard for premium quality ball gloves. Developed together with engineers, craftsmen and Major League players, the A2000 Series is the ultimate defensive tool. Used on MLB fields since 1998, the A2000 SuperSkin models were developed to be as lightweight as possible, without sacrificing performance or durability. SuperSkin repels moisture and reduces the overall weight of the glove while still being 2x stronger than conventional leather. The SuperSkin models strategically place American Pro Stock leather at certain points to give it even more rugged durability. This durability is enhanced even further with Dual-Welting pre-curved finger design that helps the pocket keep its shape and stay stable. This 11.50 Inch model features an I-Web and is ideal for infielders looking for a glove with the lightest possible play weight. Put millions of hours of passion for excellence in the palm of your hand with a Wilson A2000 SuperSkin glove! Wilson: The Official Glove of Major League Baseball. Free Shipping!

I know that pitchers normally don't get a glove with this kind of a web but how much would this actually show to the hitter while pitching? Thanks. Nick

I'm 14 years old with smaller hands. Could I use this glove for infield and outfield? Bryan
The 11.5 inch pattern of the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) would be a bit small for an outfield glove but would work well for infield play.
Patrick
What year did this glove come out? Mikey

Brandon
How does this glove compare to the A2000 DP 15? Are there any big differences? Nick D
Yes. The Wilson A2000 Baseball Glove (A2000BBDP15GM) is the Dustin Pedroia model and will have a smaller hand opening and finger stalls. It also does not have the SuperSkin so will not be as light as the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786).
Damon
I am a 14 year old high school 3rd basemen. Would this be a good glove? How long does this "superskin" last? Ty
The SuperSkin material on the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) is very durable and should last quite a while if taken care of. The 11.50 inch pattern would be serviceable at third base but perhaps a slightly longer glove would be beneficial.
Patrick
It says I can buy a used version of this glove. I wanted to find out how used the glove would be. So, how used will the glove be? franklin37
All of our used gloves are priced according to their condition. With the used Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) option being priced at $188.59, this means that this glove will likely have some wear on it. However, with it being classified as being in "Excellent Condition", this means that it will most likely be fairly new and still require some breaking in.

Patrick
How long would it take to be considered "game ready"? gdawger
We really can't estimate how long it would take you to break-in the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786). But with this being a SuperSkin model, it should take less time to break-in than the standard A2000 models.
Mac
Is the A2000 SuperSkin series similar to the Rawlings HOH Pro Mesh Series? shortstop14
Both series are very similar in the sense they have been extremely popular, and will be high performing. The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series: (A2000BBSS1786) incorporates a slightly different material, including Pro Stock Leather and SuperSkin. The SuperSkin material is designed to repel moisture, and is extremely light weight. The Rawlings Heart of the Hide Pro Mesh Series: (PRO204DM) features Heart of the Hide Premium Soft Leather and a Pro Mesh Back. Overall, both models are designed to ensure player comfort, and will be long lasting with the types of materials that are used.
Merritt
Will the fingers of a Superskin glove get floppy more quickly compared to an all leather glove? shortstop
No, the fingers of the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) should not become more floppy quicker when compared to the regular all leather glove types.
Brandon
Would this glove be alright for outfield as well as infield because I play both, but like the I-web and the glove size. adam
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) is an infield pattern designed for infield use. If you are around the age of 10-12, this may a suitable option for outfield use as well as infield. The 11.50" size is typically an infield size and the larger 12.00"+ would be used for outfield.
Kelby
Is this glove for normal sized hands? I am not interested in the DP model for smaller hands. Steve
Yes, the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) features a standard Adult fit. It will not feature the more-snug Pedroia Fit like the DP15.
Mac
Which is better, SuperSkin or leather? Which one lasts longer? HazeMazeFaze
SuperSkin material like what is on the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) is a lightweight, durable, and breathable material. It is lighter than traditional leather which makes it a preference of many players. However, some players prefer a more traditional feel of standard cow or steerhide leather.
Patrick
I was looking at this model and the DP 15 as well. I know the differences but how do I know if the DP 15 will fit. I am 13 years old and 5'1". Anthony
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) features an 11.50 inch pattern in an adult size. The Wilson A2000 Baseball Glove (A20RB15DP15GM) will also feature an 11.50 inch pattern, however the finger stalls and wrist opening are much tighter than on the SuperSkin. For a player of your size, our glove coach would recommend the DP15.
Joe
I am looking at this glove for my 8 year old. He is an everyday player at shortstop and 3rd base. He also pitches when called upon. Is this a glove I should look at or stick with youth sizes? I want something that will last and have heard all good things about the A2000. JC
While the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) is a great model and a well crafted design. In general, it is made for an adult player and would be too large and too tough to break-in for most players of his age.
Patrick
I'm a high school freshman and am looking for a glove that will last me through high school. Would you recommend this glove? I play middle infield. Nick G
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) would be a great and durable option for that position and level of play. If taken care of, you should have no trouble using that through high school.
Patrick
Who is this glove modeled after? If it is modeled after someone. Bradog
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) is not modeled after any particular players model.
Jason
Is there a weight difference between this glove and the Wilson A2000 that does not feature the superskin? Bradog
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) will be lighter than a Wilson A2000 that does not feature the SuperSkin.
Frankie
How much does this glove weigh in grams? Bradog
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) will weigh approximately 553 grams.
Joe
How does this glove compare to the JJ Hardy model Heart of the Hide? lil freese
The Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) will have a higher quality leather and a lighter feel than the Rawlings Heart of the Hide Game Day Series (PRO200-4GT). They also have different web styles.
Patrick
How comfortable on a scale of 1-10 with softness and padding is this glove? Mike
It would be tough to rate the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) on a scale like that because it is a matter of personal preference and feel. I find the SuperSkin series A2000s to be very comfortable but other players may not feel the same.
Patrick
Would this glove be good for a kid who plays third and second? Baseball21
The 11.5 inch size of the Wilson A2000 SuperSkin Series (A2000BBSS1786) would be a great option for infield play.
