The Wilson 2027 A2K 1724 is an 11.75-inch premium infield baseball glove designed around Wilson's 1724 pattern. The H-Web construction provides a balance of reach and agility for infield play, while the pattern is specifically designed for players who prefer to place two fingers in the pinky stall. Altered finger stalls and a modified wrist opening help provide leverage at the ends of the hand and support a secure pocket.
The glove is made with Wilson Pro Stock Select leather, which Wilson describes as its top 5% of leather hides after a triple-sorting process. Double Palm Construction adds a thin layer of leather between the palm shell and liner to enhance pocket stability and help the glove maintain its shape through the break-in process and regular use. Rolled Dual Welting is integrated into the liner to provide additional structure and help preserve the glove's shape.
The 2027 Leadoff 1724 combines Blonde and Black Pro Stock Select leather with Seafoam laces and stitching and Flamingo Pink logos and trim. Each A2K is manufactured in Japan by experienced glove craftsmen, with Wilson's A2K construction emphasizing detailed shaping and handcrafting. The result is a premium infield pattern for players seeking an 11.75-inch glove with a two-in-the-pinky design and a stable, responsive pocket.
