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. With this particular glove, Wilson has replaced some of the leather on the back of the shell with their proprietary SuperSkin material. SuperSkin further reduces the gloves break-in time, repels moisture / dirt, and is actually 2X stronger and lighter than leather. 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.
As the Game Model of Dustin Pedroia, the Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM offers a few extra features that you won't find in the A2K 1786. This glove includes all of the fit modifications that Dustin Pedroia requests for his own game-model glove. These specs include a smaller hand opening / tighter finger stalls for a more-snug fit, longer laces, and a low profile heel. By removing the padding typically found at the base of the pocket or "heel", Wilson is able to create a design that closes easier and minimizes the rebound created when bad-hops hit the base of the glove.
This Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM features an 11.50" pattern size, an I-Web (Wilson H-Web) with Double X Laces, and is the game model of MLB Star Dustin Pedroia.

Questions and Answers
Have a question about the Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.
or
Is the heel padding on this model the same as the A2000 DP15? Or is there a little more since it's an A2K? julian
The heel pad on the 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM will be the same as the heel pad on the A2000 DP15 models. Dustin Pedroia prefers to have less padding in the heel of the glove, so both models will be constructed the same. The difference will be the quality of leathers used to make each glove.
Marcus
How much tighter is the wrist opening compared to a 1786 or 1787 on a scale from 1-10? Adamn
The wrist opening on the 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM) compared to the wrist opening on the 2016 Wilson A2000 Series (A20RB161787) and the 2016 Wilson A2000 Series (A20RB161786) is going to be smaller. On a scale of 1-10, I would say 8.
Cameron
Do A2K's require a longer break in period than an A2000? wil
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM) may require a slightly longer break-in period than an A2000 model as the A2K's have pro stock select leather - cut from top 5% of all Wilson leather hides.
Cameron
Is this glove legal for a pitcher to use? Tad
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM may be used by a pitcher but is intended for an infielder.
John P.
Is the A2K broken in so much at the factory where it won't mold to your hand that much? LeoCubs11
The A2K will feature about a 60-70% factory break-in. The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM will be able to mold to however you wish it to based on your break-in measures.
Cameron
Is this made in USA? Dan Q
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM is not made in the USA. This glove is made in Japan.
Cameron
Would this glove be too big for a 11 year old playing mostly infield? Young LM
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM is a 11.50 inch pattern with the Pedroia fit (smaller wrist opening and tighter finger stalls). This Pedroia feature makes this glove a great fit for someone with smaller hands and the 11.50 inch pattern is perfect for middle infielders. The Wilson A2K series features Pro Stock Leather so it may take some time for a younger player to break-in.
Cameron
Would this fit a 12 year old and would it get tight for your hand? Victor Cervantes
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM would be a great fit for a 12 year old player that is growing. The glove features the "Pedroia Fit", so it is going to be tighter than your typical adult fitting glove and larger than a youth glove.
Nick
How heavy is this glove? Nolan
This 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM) will weigh in at approximately 1 lb and 3 oz.
Ben
I'm 13 years old playing mostly 3rd base. Would this glove be too small? jaggerbaseball
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM features a 11.50 inch pattern as well as the Dustin Pedroia fit - smaller hand opening, tighter finger stalls for more secure fit. Some 3B prefer a slightly larger glove such as a 11.75 inch pattern but the 11.50 model of glove would work as well.
Cameron
I am a 12 year old second baseman. Is this the glove for me? e13
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM features an 11.50" pattern and it is an excellent option for you.
Jason
Is this good for a 14 year 2nd baseman. Maxim
Yes, the 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM) would be ideal for a 14 year old middle infielder.
Damon
How does this glove compare to the A1K series when it comes sizing? Will the fit be comparable? Johnny Baseball
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM features the Pedroia fit just like the A1K series features. This particular model will have the same fit overall as an A1K model.
Jason
What is the specific Wilson brand lace colors on this glove? Sam
The color of the laces for the 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM will be grey and red.
Cameron
Why would I want to buy a A2K rather than an A2000, like what is the difference? Mim Baseball
The A2K line of gloves is made from the top 5% of the leather used to make A2000s, so A2Ks are made with some of the highest quality leather used by Wilson.
Kyle J.
What is the Pedroia fit? baseball lifestyle 101
Pedroia Fit features a Smaller Hand Opening with Tighter Finger Stalls for More Secure Fit for younger players or players with smaller hands.
Carter
Is there any difference between 2015 and 2016 models? rl
The main difference between the 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM and the 2017 Wilson A2K Dustin Pedroia 11.5" Baseball Glove: A2KRB17DP15GM is the colorway as both gloves will feature the same leather, padding and craftsmanship.
Cameron
Having a tough time picking a glove . Which Wilson glove is best for my 10 year old that plays 3rd base? Willing to spend whatever. niko
I would highly recommend the 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM) for a 10 year old 3rd baseman.
Carter
Is it a good glove for 3rd base? shone
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM) is a great option for a third baseman.
Carter
My son both pitches and plays 3rd base. He is used to the 11.75" length. Would you recommend this smaller size, 11.50", for both positions? AllStar10
If he is used to playing with the 11.75" length and performing well, I would not necessarily recommend going with the smaller 11.50" length on this 2016 Wilson A2K Series (A2KRB16DP15GM). I think it may be a little frustrating to have less reach on the 11.50" mitt in the field. As well, the I-Webbing on this A2K is generally not the most advantageous to use on the mound as it is not the best at hiding the pitcher's throwing hand when gripping pitches.
Ben
Is this glove going to last 6 or 7 years? Devin
The 2016 Wilson A2K Series: A2KRB16DP15GM is a high quality glove that should last a player for multiple seasons/years with proper care. As for lasting 6-7 years, it would be tough to say if that could happen without having to re-lace the glove or treat the leather of the glove.
