The Story
Extend for any throw while anchoring the infield with the Fall 2024 A2K® 1679, a 12.5" first base mitt formed by expert craftsmen in Japan with Blonde & Brick Red Pro Stock® Select leather - triple-sorted for flawlessness. Welting lines the pinky side and thumb side of the A2K 1679, reinforcing the mitt's structure while offering flexibility to reach for errant throws and secure the out at first. The A2K 1679's Single Post Web forms a deep pocket, and a single break point design helps the mitt perform like an infield glove when handling ground balls and pop-ups around the bag.
- Pro Stock® Select Leather: Pro Stock® Select leather hides are triple-sorted, a fine inspection process reviewing the leather at least three times to identify the top 5% for ideal qualities of softness, stretch and durability.
- Double Palm Construction: Expert craftsmen insert an extra layer of thin leather between the palm shell and liner, extending along the palm and fingers to enhance pocket stability, form the glove during the break-in process and maintain its shape through frequent use.
- DriLex Wrist Lining: Keeps your hand dry and comfortable on the field and behind the dish
- Flat Finger Binding: Flat Finger Binding gives players who prefer to play with a finger outside the glove greater comfort and control in the field. By reducing the amount of space between your finger and the back of the glove, you'll experience less pain when making plays
- Gradient Bold Logos: Multiple eye-catching colors in the signature Wilson(R) logos offer Pro Stock(R) ball gloves a modern appearance.
- Expert Japanese Craftsmanship: Manufactured entirely in Japan by craftsmen who have been making ball gloves for decades, the A2K is formed to the perfect shape over 18 hours of labor.
Glove Build:
- Family: A2K
