Pedroia is the reason I started to play baseball
Bennett Czajka cool bro
Bro why you so rude
@LettuceWin what the heck is wrong?
Hi Mike, good luck…the DP15 is awesome! Can’t wait to have you on #TeamWilson!
i love the og dp15
So today I purchased my first A2000. I have never used any other glove besides Rawlings in my life and let me just say that within the 3 hours I've had it, I've fell in love with it. The feel is amazing. I'm impressed at the work you guys do. You've made me a believer and also converted me. My DP15 is my favorite glove I've ever had. Such an amazing piece of equpiment. Well done Wilson.
Thank you so much for the info. The passion, quick replies, and knowledge in these videos and your replies has made me a Wilson baseball man for the rest of my days!
I just got this glove in the mail yesterday and it felt great my dad took me out to the field and it felt amazing IT'S A GREAT GLOVE!!
Mikes eyes are huge
Colin V HOLY NUTSACK UR RIGHT
Looks like he has eyeliner too.
We’re glad you like your A2000s! Aso is crazy busy these days planning out the 2014 glove line. It takes a long time to put all of the pieces in place for a glove line.
Yes! Those two gloves along with the rest of our 2014 glove line will be available in August.
@lennonhckyman We do not have pricing information yet. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, we will post there as soon as it’s been finalized.
We got time with Dustin when he was on the road playing in Chicago. With a guy that popular you take what you can get!
I want that glove. Wilson does a great job of showing the players with their gloves
Hey Eric, it’s great to hear that you’ve got a lot of versatility. The web you’re referring to allows for a quick transfer from your glove to your throwing hand, and is a benefit reserved mostly for infielders because they need to be quick. Outfielders prefer the Pro-Laced T-Web, the Dual Post Web, or the Six Finger Web because it allows for a deeper pocket when tracking down fly balls.
Thank you so much Wilson does great with feedback keep up the good work!
Anytime! Glad we could help.
@badgerhockey99 Our 1786 in either the A2K or A2000 is our most popular model for shortstops. If you have smaller hands try our A2000 DP15GM. Thanks for the great comment! We’re glad you’re all enjoying the communication. We LOVE being able to interact with the people using our products every day.
The DP15 will be a great glove for you in the hot corner and give you the versatility to play other positions. Will Middlebrooks of the Boston Red Sox uses it there as well. We always recommend using a glove that feels best and that you’re most comfortable with, above all else. Thanks for being a member of Team Wilson!
Lol. I remember watching this shit as a freshman in HS. I'm going to be 22 soon...
Same
same
As with all baseball gloves, catching a ball in the heel might sting because of the reduced padding. On the DP15, the reduced heel does make you more likely to feel sting but this will not adversely affect how you use the mitt. The reduced palm construction will help give you more feel for the ball while making plays in the infield.
We use a different stamp on the gloves we provide at Spring Training to help us keep track of them. The gloves we give to players at Spring Training are the same quality and cut as any glove you can purchase from an authorized retailer.
I Just Orded This Glove Like 3 Days Ago, I can't Wait To Get It!!!
2019 anyone ??
no. no likes for you
@@sjang816 nice username🤣
Can't wait till the customization for Wilson comes out!! Going to order a glove, so fast!
I just got my DP15 and love it!
I Got this glove yesterday ITS AMAZING I LOVE it i NEVER let it out of my sight and i don't put it in my baseball bag! Thanks Wilson
There are also some modifications made to the pattern that accommodate a smaller hand and a little more feel throughout the glove. All updates are in the video!
You can recreate Dustin’s DP15GM on our custom glove site and select “Pro Stiff” from the “Personalize” section.
Dustin has an older A2K with the same specs as the A2000 DP15 and chooses which one to use depending on how he's feeling. He uses the A2K often, but we've seen him use the A2000 a lot this season too.
There are many updates to the pattern to make the DP15 have a more snug fit in addition to the wrist strap. The finger stalls are shorter and narrower, measurement between the palm and back finger leather is tighter, and the back fingers come further down on the hand.
@mikferrant There is no specific date yet, but we will keep you all updated as soon as we have more information.
Both would be great options for you, especially if you’re considering SuperSkin (twice the strength, half the weight). We would recommend the DP15 to you if you’re looking for a tighter fit around the wrist. The Showcase models (designed for a younger player or a player looking for a tighter-fitting glove) are also recommended for you.
When Dustin began working with Wilson we created the A2K DP15 for him, and he’s been using an A2K and A2000 version of that glove since.
I'm getting Dustin's glove today!
@lennonhckyman Yes, when our custom site launches in December you will be able to customize any A2000 model, including the DP15.
Our most popular outfield gloves are the KP92 and the 1799. The KP92 (12.5”) has a Pro-Laced T-Web while the 1799 (12.75”) is a little bigger and has a Dual Post Web. Try them on at your local glove shop to see which one feels best!
We recommend searching online for it - many retailers keep old models in stock for purchase by fans. Our 2013s began shipping last month.
Thanks Wilson you guys really helped i really appreciate the help. now i got a palm pad and i barely feel any sting.
Check out our other video where Aso breaks in Brandon Phillips' game edition glove for full details, but a small amount of oil is recommended. Use a cloth to apply so you're able to control how much and where it goes!
We do offer some single-color A2Ks in pitcher models, but you’re correct in that the other models are two colors. Our line for 2013 is complete, but planning is currently underway for 2014. We’ve forwarded your request to our R&D department, thanks for the feedback and suggestions!
Hey Ryan, the A2K DP15 is currently not available in our glove line-up, but we’re constantly evaluating the gloves that we have available.
Availability will vary from retailer to retailer; we recommend you check a few in your area and online to see who has the DP15 in stock still. You can also find a dealer locater on our Wilson homepage.
Dustin has an older A2K with the same specs as the A2000 DP15 and chooses which one to use depending on how he's feeling. He uses the A2K often, but we've seen him use the A2000 a lot this season too. Good eye!
You can use this glove with any sized hand, depending on your hand size it might feel tighter and give you more control of the glove - it all depends on how you use and wear y our glove on the diamond. We recommend trying it on in-store to see how it feels!
@swingin276 The Evan Longoria Game Model - A2000 EL3GM is 11.75” and has a smaller hand opening than most of our infield models. The 11.75” A2000 Showcase B2 has a tighter wrist opening intended for the younger player with smaller hands
@brandon ferris Hey Brandon, thanks for the question. Yes, the glove’s fit is more snug due to the Pedroia Fit. As for the model you should go with, we recommend either the A1K OTIF or the A1K 1787. The OTIF was made for pitchers who also play infield due to its 11.5” size, shallow pocket, and Trap web to help conceal your grip on the mound. You can find it on our site here: www.wilson.com/en-us/baseball/gloves/infield/a1k/otif-baseball-glove/. The 1787 is another great optionbecause of its 11.75” length which gives you the extra reach that is ideal for third base. You can find it on our site here: www.wilson.com/en-us/baseball/gloves/infield/a1k/1787-baseball-glove-2014/.
just got this glove for christmas! she's beautiful :)
He uses both gloves depending on how he feels that day. We’ve definitely seen a lot of the A2K lately as well.
Dustin's new A2K will be for sale in August along with the rest of our 2014 glove line.
I love Dustin!!!
@garr102 We are launching a custom glove website this December, and you will be able to customize any A2000 glove!
@baseballboy2215 We are not announcing the name of the site yet, but yes, you will be able to customize the DW5 and all other A2000 models.
We recommend the A2000 1786 (11.50”). It’s our most popular infield glove and features an H-Web used by players like Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez. The A2000 1787 is an 11.75” option that has the same H-web as the 1786.
Check out our video - “Wilson Gloves: How to Care for Your Glove” -- for more insight from Aso, our glove guru, and our MLB players. You can also get break in tips from Aso and Giant’s 1B Brandon Belt here - “Breaking in a First Baseman Baseball Mitt."
one of my friends has this glove and he already named it and loves it
Zach Orchard I named mine Lola, like from space jam
Hey wilson just got your glove of the month December and I'm loving it! My first wilson glove! Any tips? Also thanks for the custom a2ks this year! Also let me know about a Casper remake GOTM thanks for the awesome glove!
I just got the Orlando Hudson a2000 it feels great
Do a video on where the A2K and a2000 leather comes from and about it
We do not have an A2K BP4 for 2013 (he loves his current A2K) but we do have more gamer models coming out. Stay tuned.
@LukeThomass If you're using it for both softball and baseball then try the two 11.75" Superskin models, the EL3-SS and the 1787-SS.
@wilsonballgloves I have wanted to customize a wilson for such a long time now. So, im really excited for this. I would be most excited to customize the 1786-DB or superskin model. Do u have a more specific date, because i would love to have this before winter workouts start.
Thanks Wilsonballgloves!
The only color we offer Dustin Pedroia’s Wilson A2000 DP15 Game Model is saddle tan. This year we added dark brown laces. You can create any color of the A2000 DP15 at the Wilson Custom Glove Shop, though!
@incrediblekacki Dustin is using an A2K right now but will switch over to the A2000 DP15 soon! Some players don’t like switching gloves during the season.
We don’t sell direct and don’t currently have these available in our 2013 line. We recommend searching for these online and seeing where you can find one.
We made the A2000 version with Dustin, but it takes him years to get a glove game ready. We’ve seen the A2000 DP15 make some appearances (reference the game I sent an image from earlier…I think it was on the same day as the Boston Marathon vs the Yankees), but there’s a chance Dustin won’t make the full-time switch for awhile.
The main benefit of using two fingers in the pinky slot is a deeper pocket, which some players feel more comfortable with. By not having an index finger under the back of the pocket, the leather can flex more each time the ball is caught and the pocket can stretch more than glove used with normal hand placement. It also gives more strength when closing the glove and minimizes sting. Let us know what you think!
Yes you can have the wrist adjusted! We recommend taking it to a glove shop to have a professional re-lace it for you.
@HgOuTitar If you relace the wrist of the glove you can loop it through the open holes and it will tighten. Let us know how it goes!
We are currently updating our website and it will have the new model online soon.
Since you’re looking for a versatile glove that allows you to play infield and outfield, we recommend the A2000 DW5 SS. It is a 12” glove with a dual post web that will give you the reach you need in the outfield and a pocket that is the right amount of deep for a utility player.
great video! do more like this!!
I'm not crazy about dp15s but the no heel padding or at least minimal heel padding is something I wish more gloves offered. a rawlings I bought happened to have little to no padding and I love that feeling. also makes break in time alot easier. and not even all dp15s have the heel-less padding. I think it would be convenient to know right away which models or lines do or don't have it cause I feel alot of people besides myself (and Dustin obviously) like that feeling
@wilsonballgloves It turned out great! When I wear my fingers in the glove normally it fits perfectly, but when I put two in the pinky it was just a little to tight. Im probably gonna switch back to how it was normally just because I like two in the pinky better, but its great that I always have options with the glove! Thanks Wilson!
We recommend you check out the A2000 1786 (11.5”), the DP15GM (11.5”) or A2000 SC 1787-SS (11.5”). The 1786 is our most popular infield glove and can be purchased with SuperSkin which is twice as strong and half the weight of leather. The DP15GM is Dustin Pedroia’s Game Model glove and comes with a smaller hand opening, reduced palm pad, and extra-long laces.
The hand opening on the DP15 is similar to those on the Showcase models.
@ONLYUSEmeCLAWS Yes, the DP15 has a tighter hand opening than other A2000 models. Try it on in the store and see if that design is more comfortable.
Hi Nick, Pedroia uses the same methods described by Aso in his videos. How did you break in your glove?
@garr102 Start with any 12” David Wright model, such as the A2K DW5. The A2000BBW38GM could also work as a multi-position glove! Let us know what you think!
Just ordered on em should get it some time this week, I love you guys gloves, what is the difference between a2k and a2000? And which would be better for as I have really small hands, and I aw
Great question. There are a few differences between the DP15 and the 1786. Both are 11.5” and have an H-Web. The DP15 comes with a reduced heel pad to increase feel, a smaller hand opening, extra-long laces and rolled dual welting. The DP15 is now approaching the 1786 as the most popular infielder’s glove, so you can’t go wrong with either.
What glove did Pedroia use as a kid?
An easton
How do you know
@ONLYUSEmeCLAWS It just depends on how the double-pinky technique feels to you, a lot of our pro infielders use this but in the end it's up to you!
Evan Longoria’s A2000 EL3-SS is a great glove for a middle infielder who also plays third! We suggest breaking the glove in so that it has a little shallower of a pocket than normal if you’ll be spending most of your time at 2B or SS. With a classic look that Evan prefers, the D-shaped pocket and orange tan leather will help you at either of those positions.
We can’t say quite yet, but all will be revealed next month. Stay tuned!
New 2013 models will begin to be shipped in August and September.
@emericancitizen10 A2K glove have Pro Stock Select Leather and are worked on longer at the factory. This allows them to arrive a little more broken in than an A2000. They also has a double palm pad which aids in durability. The gloves have slightly different feels, and that’s what it comes down to for the pros - they choose the glove that feels the best to them. Visit a local store and try both gloves… choose the one that feels best on your hand!
Hey Wilson, im getting the dp15 a2000 and I was Wondering do you recommend Aso's method? The only thing that worries me is that the hot water will make the glove have excess weight or dry out. Thanks.
All of our gloves are made in both countries depending on the demand and factory capacity.
Yes, your A2K will stay firm because Pro Stock Select Leather is, in our opinion, the best glove leather available. But like we said before, how you care for your glove factors in greatly into maintaining its shape for multiple seasons. If you want it to last, store it properly and somewhere that’s well ventilated. You may also want to periodically tighten the laces on the glove.
@Brendan Cezard Hi Brendan. Dustin Pedroia uses an 11.5" glove.
I won this glove in a twitter contest, I cant wait to get it!
We recommend an A2000 SC-DW5 (11.5”) or A800 EL3 (11.75”). The A2000 Showcase model is made with Pro Stock leather and has a smaller hand opening and narrow finger slots to accommodate a smaller hand or a player who is looking for a more snug fit. The A800 DW5 is made with Ecco Leather and will come almost game-ready but may fit a little larger than the Showcase A2000. Both gloves will be a perfect crossover glove to use at 3B and in the OF!
Sure will be, Tyler. We’re planning on releasing three game models in the 2013 line.
This glove is awesome
We are unable to make a 12” version of the DP15 as it is customized directly for Dustin. For a 12” infielder’s glove, we recommend the DW5 (12”) which comes with a dual post web and will give you the length you’re looking for. Brandon Phillips uses a custom A2K 1786 (11.5").
@garr102 Some players do not like to switch gloves in the middle of the season. Dustin used the A2K in 2011 and will use his A2000 DP15 in 2012.
Check out our new video “Breaking in a Middle Infield Baseball Glove” to find out how to form your glove with a shallow pocket.
Wilson, i just got this glove a few weeks ago. Other than playing catch, pounding and stretching the glove, do you have any other tips on how to break in a middle infielders glove?
You should try all of these gloves on first to see what feels best to you now and what will keep you on the diamond as you keep growing.
I have this glove and it is amazing
