The 2027 Wilson A2K® DW5 12” Infield Baseball Glove is built for elite infielders who need maximum range and premium craftsmanship at third base. Handmade in Japan by expert craftsmen, each A2K glove is carefully assembled, shaped, and perfected through an extensive manufacturing process. Designed around Wilson's DW5 pattern, this 12” glove features extra-long fingers to help players extend their reach on hard-hit balls and line drives while maintaining confident control.

Constructed with Pro Stock® Select Leather, only the top 5% of Wilson leather hides are chosen through a triple-sorting process for exceptional softness, durability, and long-term performance. Double Palm Construction adds an extra layer of leather beneath the palm to improve pocket stability during break-in and help the glove maintain its shape season after season. Rolled Dual Welting further reinforces the glove's structure, while the Dual Post Web delivers a lightweight yet stable design for quick transfers and secure catches.

Comfort is equally important, with a DriLex Wrist Lining that helps keep your hand dry throughout long games and practices. The Modified Finger Divider allows players to shift two fingers into the pinky stall for a preferred fit while improving comfort when wearing the index finger outside the glove. Finished in a striking Walnut, Blonde, and Red colorway with bold outlined Wilson logos, the 2027 A2K DW5 combines premium performance with standout style.
