The Wilson '27 A2K 1734 Catcher's Mitt WBG10701 in Black/Blonde is a single-item professional-grade catcher's mitt designed for baseball catchers who demand maximum reach, exceptional pocket stability, and premium craftsmanship behind the plate. This mitt features a 34-inch length that provides the extended reach and deep pocket that catchers need to frame pitches on the corners, block balls in the dirt, and secure pop-ups with confidence. The Black Pro Stock® Select Leather with Blonde accents delivers a striking two-tone aesthetic that reflects the mitt's elite pedigree, while the thinner heel and toe pads improve glove control and reduce weight without sacrificing protection. The half-moon web design creates a solid, stable pocket that helps catchers secure the ball quickly and quietly on receiving, while promoting fast transfers to the throwing hand for controlling the running game. The Dri-Lex® wrist lining wicks away moisture to keep the hand cool and dry during hot summer games and extended innings. The rolled dual welting along the fingers and back of the mitt provides structural integrity and helps the pocket maintain its shape through repeated high-velocity impacts. The Double Palm Construction provides maximum pocket stability and helps the mitt close consistently around the ball. Whether used by varsity backstops, college receivers, or professional hopefuls, this mitt delivers the reach, stability, and professional quality that dedicated catchers need to command the game from behind the dish.

Common Q&A's:
-
What makes the A2K series different from the A2000 series?
The A2K series uses Pro Stock® Select Leather, which is the top 5% of Wilson's hides, hand-selected for its consistency and quality. A2K mitts also feature Double Palm Construction and more detailed craftsmanship, making them the premier option for elite catchers. -
How do the thinner heel and toe pads benefit catchers?
The thinner heel and toe pads reduce overall mitt weight and improve glove control, allowing catchers to move the mitt more quickly and precisely when framing pitches or blocking balls in the dirt, without sacrificing essential protection. -
How should this mitt be broken in and maintained?
Work the leather gently with a mallet or ball to shape the pocket without over-stretching. Apply a small amount of Wilson glove conditioner to maintain leather quality. Store with a ball in the pocket and use a mitt wrap to maintain shape between uses.
