Wilson A2K 1799-WB Baseball Glove

Pro Stock Select leather is hand-selected from the top 5% of Wilson's hide supply. This ensures a more consistent grain and texture, which results in a glove that breaks in more predictably and maintains its shape longer than standard leather options.

While 12.75 inches is a standard size for outfielders, some infielders prefer this length if they want extra reach or are playing positions like third base where snagging hard-hit balls is the priority. However, it is generally on the larger side for middle infielders who typically prefer 11.25 to 11.75-inch gloves.

Because of the high-quality, dense Pro Stock Select leather, the A2K series requires a dedicated break-in period. You should expect to spend a few weeks of consistent catch play or practice to get the pocket shaped to your liking, as the leather is designed to be sturdy rather than soft right out of the box.

This specific model is configured for a Left-Handed Thrower (LHT), meaning the glove is worn on the right hand. If you throw with your right hand, you will need to look for the Right-Handed Thrower (RHT) version of the 1799-WB.

The A2K series is built with double-palm construction, which adds a thin, strategically shaped piece of leather between the palm liner and the outer shell. This reinforces the pocket, helps the glove hold its shape over multiple seasons, and provides extra protection against sting on hard-hit balls.
