Wilson 2027 A2000 1673 13" Baseball Glove
The Wilson 2027 A2000 1673 Annual 13-inch first-base mitt is built for left-handed throwers who want a large target, a deep receiving area, and the structured feel of Wilson's A2000 series. The 13-inch pattern gives a first baseman the reach and pocket volume needed to handle throws from across the diamond while presenting a clear target to infielders.Pro Stock leather gives the mitt the firm, durable character associated with the A2000 line. Expect a real break-in period rather than an immediately soft feel. Working the hinge and forming the pocket around the baseball lets the mitt close more naturally while preserving enough structure along the fingers and perimeter to support the pocket over time.The open-bar first-base web and deep pocket are designed around receiving and securing throws. The extra length can help on stretches and balls near the edge of the mitt, but it will feel larger and less nimble than a standard fielding glove. The Walnut palm and web, Blonde shell, and Saddle Tan lacing give this Annual model a classic three-tone finish.This mitt is best suited to competitive travel-ball, high-school, college, and adult first basemen who are comfortable managing a full-size 13-inch pattern. Younger or smaller players should confirm that they can close and control the mitt before choosing the additional reach.
