WILSON A2000 1716 Infield Baseball Glove, Black/Copper, 11.5" Right Hand Throw — Pro Stock Leather, Chevron Cross Web

The Wilson 2022 A2000 1716 is an 11.5" infield glove built from Pro Stock leather with a chevron cross web, dual welting and copper accents for fast, reliable fielding.

This A2000 1716 updates a classic infield pattern with black Pro Stock® leather, copper laces and bold Wilson branding for a striking look and pro-level performance. Designed for right-hand throwers, the 11.5" size targets middle infielders who need a nimble pocket, quick ball transfer and a glove that holds its shape through heavy use. The build balances durability and broken-in feel thanks to upgraded liners, reinforced welting and comfort features that reduce hand fatigue during long games or practices.

How does this glove help me field ground balls quickly?

The chevron cross web and 11.5" pattern create a shallow, responsive pocket that makes ball retrieval and quick transfers more consistent. Dual welting and flat finger binding keep the glove structure stable for faster play-action and smoother exchanges to the throwing hand.

• Chevron Cross Web for controlled transfers
• 11.5" size optimized for middle infield quickness
• Dual welting maintains a reliable, consistent break-in
• Flat finger binding reduces space for better control

What materials and features improve comfort and durability?

The A2000 1716 uses Wilson’s Pro Stock leather for a tough outer shell while the ProLux liner and Comfort Sleeve create a softer feel against the hand. DriLex wrist lining helps manage sweat so the glove stays comfortable through multiple innings.

• Pro Stock leather resists wear and tears from routine play
• ProLux liner offers a softer, richer feel inside the glove
• Comfort Sleeve conceals binding for less irritation at the wrist
• DriLex wrist lining keeps your hand dry and improves fit

How does the A2000 1716 keep its shape over time?

Dual welting is integrated into the glove’s liner to reinforce the finger back and web, helping the glove retain its profile and stay game-ready longer than non-reinforced models. The combination of quality leather and structural elements reduces unwanted collapsing or stretching after repeated use.

• Dual welting prevents finger roll and maintains pocket geometry
• High-grade leather resists over-stretching
• Sturdy lacing (copper-colored) secures the web and fingers
• Designed to break in without losing core shape

Is this glove suited for my playing style and position?

Yes—this 11.5" pattern is aimed at middle infielders who value speed on the transfer, reliable glove shape and moderate pocket depth. Right-hand throw configuration makes it ready for players who throw with their right hand and need a left-hand glove fit.

• Ideal for shortstop and second base quick-hand plays
• 11.5" offers balance between reach and control
• Right-hand throw specification (wear on left hand)
• Neutral colorway (black with copper) pairs with most team kits

The A2000 1716 fits competitive high school, travel, and adult recreational infielders who want a glove that breaks in well, stays structurally reliable, and supports quick transfers and precise throws. If you prefer a glove with a shallow pocket, reinforced support and a distinctive black-and-copper aesthetic, this model is designed to meet those needs without compromise.
