When it comes to the top quality leather gloves for baseball and softball, players and coaches agree that Wilson A2000s stand atop the list. Each glove is constructed from some of the finest materials in the game to give players the confidence to attack every hot shot ground ball or screaming line drive. Beyond performance, A2000s offer players an incredibly durable glove that looks like it belongs on a big league diamond. We can’t stress it enough, Wilson A2000s are among the most popular gloves in the world.
Which makes this part even more exciting…
The new A2000s that are a part of Wilson's 2024 Winter Collection are now available at JustGloves! But wait, before you go running off to pick out your favorite new glove, take a few minutes to enjoy our breakdown of the A2000s that were included in the 2024 Wilson Winter Collection. In this breakdown, we will discuss what you can expect to see on all of these new gloves, some of Wilson’s latest glove innovations, and a couple of Expert picks from the latest release. We hope you enjoy it.
The A2000 Mainstays
The 2024 A2000s have the glove community buzzing with excitement and a lot of that stems from the confidence that players will have in the builds of these gloves. Wilson has been doing a handful of things the same way on their A2000s for many seasons and this has helped create the consistency that people expect when they purchase an A2000 glove. The below features will be found on every single A2000...
Pro Stock Leather
If you have owned an A2000 in the past, you know the leather quality is second to none. Built from world-class Pro Stock leather, A2000s will outlast lesser gloves. Get one of these models and enjoy the full benefits of the rugged leather that is supported by the professional-grade leather laces that help hold the Pro Stock material together.
Dual Welting
The Dual Welting of the A2000s is integrated into the glove’s backing and the inner finger stalls of the glove. The Rolled Dual Welting on the back of the glove helps the glove maintain its structure over time and the Dual Welting on the inner finger stalls helps create a shape that better fits the fingers of a human (i.e. it is more comfortable).
Dri Lex Wrist Lining
For many years, Wilson has been crafting their A2000s with a unique wrist backing liner. This piece of the glove touches the back of a player's hand and wrist while it is in the glove and the material creates a soft and foam-like feel on the back of the hand. This wrist lining will also help wick away moisture from a player's hand and keep things as dry as possible while in the glove.
Recent A2000 Innovations
Within the last five or so years, Wilson has started incorporating some new features into their baseball and fastpitch A2000 gloves. It is exciting to know that such an established company like Wilson is still willing to experiement and add new things to this illustrious line of gloves. Check out some of the new stuff below...
An Updated Launch Cadence
Wilson rethought the ethos behind their Pro Stock offerings for 2024 (i.e. their A2000s and A2Ks) and beyond. The result of the think tank was the decision to start making small batches of A2000s and A2Ks that have sparkling colors.
Further, they determined that the best way to implement these small groupings of electric gloves was to launch new ones each season of the year. Instead of having one annual day where all stock A2000s and A2Ks are released, there will now be Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter launches each and every year. We were blessed to record a podcast with Wilson where discussed all the details of the new launch cadence:
Pro Lux Inner Palm Lining
Treat your hand to one of the most comfortable gloves on the market. The Pro Lux Inner Palm Lining will be the leather material that your palm rests on while it is in the glove. And nearly all A2000s showcase this rich and soft feeling liner that will mold to your hand over time. The more you use your A2000, the more comfortable it will become for your individual hand due to the Pro Lux Liner.
Flat Finger Binding
Most of these gloves are designed with a flatter binding construction to allow players to easily wear with their index finger outside of the glove. By sewing a seam through the binding that goes around the glove's backing, that binding becomes flatter and a player can comfortably wear their index finger out. Deciding whether to wear the index finger on the back of the glove is purely personal preference, but many player's today prefer to wear their glove in this manner.

Spin Control
Within the past couple of years, Wilson has begun to incorporate Spin Control Technology into the palms (and even some of the backings) of select Wilson A2000s. This technology consists in the form of hundreds of dimples on the leather of the glove. When the dimples are placed within the palm of the glove and a catch is being made, the dimples exert more friction on a baseball or softball (up to 5% more friction) and make it less likely for the ball to come loose from the grip of the glove.
Two 2025 Expert Picks
Finally, there have been a few baseball and fastpitch models released this fall that have really caught the eyes of some of our Glove Experts. Check those ones out below...
1) Wilson A2000 H12 12" Summer Collection Fastpitch Softball Glove
This A2000 H12 is serving serious summer vibes with its blue and white colorway that'll have you dreaming of beachside plays even when you're fielding under the stadium lights.
Built for the fastpitch infielder who doesn't compromise, this 12" glove gives you that extra reach for those "how did she catch that?" moments. The H-Web design lets you see through the webbing while keeping the pocket stable for those lightning-quick transfers.
With a female-specific fit in mind, the snugger feel creates a true extension of your hand. You'll need to put in some break-in work, but the Pro Stock leather will reward your patience by molding perfectly to your hand over time and last you season after season.
2) Wilson A2000 DP15 11.5" Summer Collection Baseball Glove: WBW103224115
This A2000 DP15 rocks a classic blonde leather look with subtle teal accents that whisper "summer" without shouting it.
Inspired by Dustin Pedroia (hence the "DP"), this 11.5" glove was built for infield players who prefer a tighter fit, allowing for more controlled and precise plays. The smaller finger stalls and reduced wrist opening create that locked-in feeling that makes grounders feel like they're being magnetized straight to your pocket.
Wilson removed the heel pad for a better ball feel and faster break-in time (though you'll still need to put in a bit of work to break in the ProStock leather). This glove shares the same Dri-Lex wrist lining as the rest of the A2000 Summer Collection, keeping your hand cool during those scorching summer doubleheaders.
