The Wilson A950 is a discontinued baseball glove built around a low-profile heel. The low heel keeps the hand opening flexible so the glove closes smoothly. Wilson offered it in infield, outfield and catcher patterns across several sizes. It sat near the top of Wilson's value tier before being retired. Listings now come from the used market rather than stores.

The Wilson A2000 softball glove is renowned for its exceptional quality, performance, and durability. Featuring Spin Control Technology, which provides enhanced grip for secure catches and quicker transfers. The A2000 also has Pro Stock Leather, known for its unmatched feel, durability, and ability to break in perfectly to the player’s hand. Crafted with attention to detail, these gloves are a favorite among professional and amateur softball players alike.
This is my glove of choice. I own two right now and can't say enough about its excellent durability. The A2000 has good pop and comes in a model known as "super skin," which makes it feel lighter. It's also designed with a deeper pocket so players can quickly field the ball and transfer it to their throwing hand. If a player keeps a ball in the pocket when it's not in use and conditions the leather, the A2000 should last about four years, compared to more beginner gloves, which typically last about one year.

The Wilson A2000 is a baseball glove line spanning every fielding position, including catcher. Each glove carries a pattern code like 1786 or OT7 that fixes size and position. Web shape and shell material vary between releases of the same pattern. Dual welting in the finger backs and a Dri-Lex wrist lining run through the line. Wilson positions the line for high school, college and pro players.
The Wilson A2K is a baseball glove built with Double Palm Construction. A thin leather layer sits between the palm shell and the liner. That layer lets the pocket form to the hand and then hold it. Wilson builds the A2K in Japan, where craftsmen shape each glove by hand. Break-in takes work, so it suits players who will earn the fit.
The Wilson A1000 is a full grain leather baseball glove built in Wilson's A2000 factory. The same craftsmen who build A2000 gloves cut and shape these. Patterns copy A2K and A2000 models to identical specifications. The leather is softer, so the glove feels game-ready sooner. Wilson lists the line for players roughly ten to fourteen years old.
The Wilson A800 baseball glove is crafted with Game Ready ECCO leather, that offers immediate softness and exceptional durability, ensuring it's ready to play right out of the box. The 2X Palm Construction provides maximum pocket stability and a quicker break-in period, while the low-profile heel enhances flexibility and forgiveness on those tricky grounders.
The Wilson A500 is a youth baseball glove built on Wilson's Quick-Fit Wrist. The Quick-Fit Wrist is an elastic strap that hugs a smaller wrist. Top grain leather keeps the glove light so a young player can control it. Wilson lists it for players around age six and up. Sizes run from 10.5 to 12.5 inches across infield and outfield patterns.
The Wilson A2000 1786 is an 11.5-inch infield glove with an H-Web. 1786 names the pattern, and the pattern sets a shallow pocket. A shallow pocket puts the ball near the hand for a fast transfer. Wilson builds it for second base, third base and shortstop. Outfielders should look at longer patterns, since 11.5 inches gives up reach.
Wilson Staff is a baseball glove series from Japan built with Pro Stock Select leather. That is the triple-sorted hide grade Wilson also uses for its A2K gloves. Gap welting folds palm leather between the index and middle fingers. That fold stabilizes the pocket so the glove holds its shape. It suits players who want a Japanese pattern rather than a standard American one.
The Wilson A450 is the entry point of Wilson's youth A-series. It runs the smallest patterns, for the youngest players moving into a real glove. Top grain leather keeps it light and easy to close. A Quick-Fit Wrist strap hugs a small wrist for a secure fit. The A500 and A550 sit above it with fuller patterns.
The Wilson A900 is built around Pedroia Fit technology — shorter finger stalls and a narrower wrist opening — designed specifically for youth players aged 8-12 with smaller hands. Soft full-grain leather, rolled dual welting for structural support, and minimal break-in time make it one of the most game-ready youth options available.
Crafted from lightweight full-grain leather, the Wilson A700 baseball glove offers durability and a soft, luxurious feel. The I-Web design and spacious 11.50-inch opening make it suitable for all players, while the glove craft's sleek appearance and robust construction ensure it's a reliable and stylish choice for young athletes seeking to elevate their game.
The Wilson A360 baseball glove is a great option for young players looking to develop their fielding skills. Featuring a lightweight design and a comfortable fit, this glove helps players build confidence and make smooth catches. The A360 also features a Two-Piece Closed Weave Web that secures the ball into the glove. The A360's durable construction and reliable performance provide a solid foundation for developing players.
The A2K 1786 is built from Pro Stock Select leather sourced from the top 5% of available hides, with Double Palm Construction adding an extra layer of leather between the palm shell and liner for long-lasting pocket shape and stability. The 11.5" H-Web pattern creates a shallow pocket purpose-built for the quick transfers middle infielders live and die by.
The Wilson A200 baseball glove is a solid choice for players seeking a reliable and affordable option. Crafted with durable leather, this glove offers a comfortable fit and a classic design. Known for its quick break-in period, the A200 allows players to shape the glove to their preference relatively fast. With a focus on playability and durability, this glove is perfect for both practice and game-day use.
