Description
Some gloves were just made for greatness. The A2K from Wilson was created with unparalleled craftsmanship, giving players the highest quality glove they'll ever slide on their hand. 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 hides 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. These A2K gloves feature Rolled Dual Welting where strips of Pro Stock Leather are skived thin and rolled to provide long-lasting shape - while still allowing for a quicker break-in. Inside, a thin, strategically cut piece of leather is placed between the palm and outer shell, providing maximum pocket stability and a quicker break-in. This 2x Palm Construction also provides maximum shock resistance. A2K gloves reflect the time that Wilson's craftsmen have put into each glove. These master technicians spend 3x longer pounding and shaping the glove by hand at Wilson's factory - reducing the break-in time for the player. Wilson put everything they had into this glove - and then styled it with their iconic Wilson tan and jet black to celebrate their 99th anniversary. Wilson: More Win! Free Shipping!

Would this glove be too big to use at Shortstop or Second Base? Roger
The Wilson A2K: A2K0BB3DW5GM is an infield model, so it would be perfect for Shortstop or Second Base.
Damon
I tried this glove on and it looked like a 11.75. Does it play like a 12" or a 11.75" Frank
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM baseball glove is a 12 inch glove and therefore should play like any other 12 inch glove.
Jeff
How long would this take to break in? piazza
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM is made with Pro Stock Select Leather which can lead to a longer break-in period.
John
Would this glove make a good softball infield glove? Julius
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM glove is a baseball pattern. That being said, the 12" size this gloves provides could be big enough for an infielder in slow pitch. The pocket depth and webbing may feel a little shallow compared to actual softball pattern gloves.
Brandon
I am 15 and play center field, would you suggest this for outfield? Royal5
I would recommend going with something a little bigger. The 12" Wilson A2K Series is going to be a little small for outfield.
Noah
Does this glove have a deep pocket? Looking for a 3B glove with a deep pocket. Jam
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM is a 12" infield model. It will have an average pocket depth. I would not say that it will be super deep.
Brandon
Would this glove make a good shortstop glove? nickk
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM glove might be a little large for a shortstop, but it can still be used in the shortstop position.
Robert
Which glove will last longer, the A2K or Pro Preferred? I can't decide which to get. howard
Both the Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM and the Pro Preferred Series from Rawlings are gloves that will last you a very long time. I would not be able to pick one over the other for the longer lasting glove.
Brandon
I play both infield and centerfield/outfield. Would you recommend this glove for a utility player in those positions? Bellboy
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM glove has moderate pocket depth and the 12.00" model may be a bit small for outfield.
Aubrey
Are Wilson A2K's stiffer than Wilson A2000's? slugger
Yes. The Wilson A2K's are made from Wilson top 5% of there Pro Stock American Steer hide, so they will be stiffer.
Damon
I've heard that the A2ks are better quality but are softer than the A2000s. Does this mean that the A2Ks wont keep there shape as well as the A2000s? Mrt
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM uses stiffer leather than the A2000 series. They will be very durable and hold their shape for many years.
Kara
Could this glove be used for a CF outfielder? unhy
The Wilson A2K Series A2K0BB3DW5GM is listed as an infielders model. I have seen utility players use a 12" and get away with it in the outfield. Generally you will see High School-College players use a 12.5"-12.75" outfield patterns.
John
Would this glove be as good as a Rawlings Pro Preferred 11.25" I web or better for a 11 year old who plays 3rd and SS and is looking for a long lasting glove? vaccumman7737411
The Wilson A2K Series: A2K0BB3DW5GM and the Rawlings Pro Preferred glove are both very high quality gloves. They will both be very durable. We recommend a 11.25" to a 11.50" glove for his age and position.
