Pros: The adjustable strap allows you to make sure the glove is secure on you hand for better picking. I used this glove in college and it still has years left in it. I usually go through a glove a year, this lasted for multiple seasons

Cons: none that i can think of

Pros: Good quality stiff leather and light weight. The large catching area holds shape well and brings in anything thrown close to you. The pocket sets high above your fingers making for a nice catch away from your hand. You will never feel the sting from a catch with this glove!

Cons: My brothers uses this glove alot himself. We both say there are zero cons!

Pros: I went with the larger 12.5 for my 10yr old to grow into. Its a great glove and he is using it now. Also bought Mizuno GMP3 first base glove. Much happier with the Wilson.

Cons: Like any great piece of leather, it will take time to break-in. We are having fun doing that. He will have this glove for 10yrs+. Zero regrets. Great Glove.
