Wilson A2K 1786 11.5" Baseball Glove
When the ball is hit your way, there's no time to think — just react. The Wilson A2K 1786 is the most trusted name on the infield, an 11.5" glove assembled over 18 hours by master craftsmen in Japan using Pro Stock Select leather pulled from the top 5% of all available hides. The shallow pocket and H-Web deliver exactly what second basemen, shortstops, and third basemen need — a clean, fast path from glove to throw. Double Palm Construction and Rolled Dual Welting keep the shape rock-solid rep after rep, season after season.
Features
- Pro Stock Select Leather — Triple-Sorted, Top 5% of All Hides: Wilson's craftsmen review every single hide at least three times to ensure only the most flawless leather makes it into an A2K. The result is a leather that offers an unmatched break-in feel and a pocket that holds its shape long after most gloves give out.
- 18 Hours of Expert Japanese Craftsmanship: Every A2K is formed entirely in Japan by craftsmen who have spent their careers — in some cases their entire lives — perfecting the art of the glove. Three times more pounding and shaping goes into each A2K compared to standard gloves, significantly reducing break-in time without sacrificing structure.
- Double Palm Construction: A strategically placed thin layer of leather between the palm shell and liner extends along the palm and fingers to enhance pocket stability, reduce wrinkles, and maintain the glove's shape through years of hard use.
- H-Web with Shallow Pocket Design: The H-Web keeps the glove lightweight and transparent for ball tracking, while the shallow pocket is built for one thing: getting the ball out fast. It's the reason this pattern has been the go-to for elite infielders at every level.
- Rolled Dual Welting: Dual Welting is integrated directly into the glove's liner — not just a cosmetic detail — to add structural support and help the glove maintain its perfectly formed pocket through a full season of ground balls.
- DriLex Wrist Lining: An ultra-breathable, moisture-wicking DriLex lining keeps the hand dry and comfortable through every inning — because a dry hand means a confident glove hand.
- Flat Finger Binding: Players who prefer to play with their index finger outside the glove get extra comfort and control through flattened binding that reduces the space between finger and glove back — minimizing pain on hard-hit balls.
