2027 A2K® 1734 34” BASEBALL CATCHER'S MITT
Description: The 2027 A2K® 1734 is a 34” catcher’s mitt designed to be a large but lightweight target behind the plate. Handmade in Japan by expert craftsmen, each A2K® is the product of decades of experience poured into hours of labor spent assembling, shaping and perfecting. Exclusive Double Palm Construction implements an additional layer of leather that maintains a smooth palm and ideal pocket shape during the break-in process and throughout the life of the glove by enhancing pocket stability. The 1734 pattern is built for framing fastballs. Thinner pads along the thumb and pinky reduce overall weight, allowing for faster hands behind the plate and reducing fatigue over the course of the game. It also encourages proper glove posture, with the lighter weight making it easier to keep the thumb underneath the ball and snap the glove to a level position after receiving the pitch–a key skill for framing. Extended finger guards provide extra shock absorption, which is useful for catchers tasked with receiving a high volume of high velocity heat. The A2K® is made with Pro Stock® Select leather, which represents just the top 5% of Wilson leather hides. We finely inspect every hide, with only the softest, most flawless pieces making the cut to be used for our most premium glove line. Black and Blonde Pro Stock® Select leather provide a backdrop for iconic Wilson Yellow logos, giving this mitt a sleek and timeless look.
