2026 Wilson A1000 11.5" 1786 Baseball Glove

Experience the legendary performance of Wilson’s most popular infield pattern with the 2026 Wilson A1000 1786 11.5” Infield Baseball Glove, a model that brings professional-grade design to players who prefer a glove that is ready to play sooner. Crafted from Full Grain Optima Leather, this glove offers a sophisticated, premium feel that mirrors the famous A2000 series but arrives with a much softer, more pliable shell. This "Game Ready" construction allows high school and serious travel ball players to skip the arduous months-long break-in process required by stiffer mitts, giving them a glove that forms a pocket quickly while retaining the durability needed for heavy use. The 1786 pattern is the gold standard for middle infielders, revered for its ability to maintain a shallow, consistent pocket that makes locating the ball and transferring it to the throwing hand second nature.

The engineering behind the A1000 1786 is focused entirely on speed and structural integrity, making it the ultimate tool for shortstops and second basemen. At the heart of this design is the classic H-Web, which provides optimal visibility for tracking grounders and just enough give to secure line drives without trapping the ball too deeply. To ensure the glove holds its shape season after season, it features Wilson’s signature Rolled Dual Welting, where strips of leather are integrated into the back of the finger stalls to support the glove's curvature and prevent it from becoming flat. Additionally, comfort is prioritized with a Dri-Lex wrist lining, a moisture-wicking material that keeps your hand cool and dry, ensuring a non-slip grip even during sweltering summer doubleheaders. Unlike the DP15 model, the 1786 features a standard hand opening and finger stalls, offering a traditional fit that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes.

Selecting the correct glove size is the foundation of good defense, and the 11.5-inch profile of the 1786 pattern is the most versatile choice for the modern infielder. This size is typically recommended for players aged 12 and up, including high school athletes and adults, who need a glove that is agile enough for quick turns at second base but substantial enough to handle hot shots at third. To verify this fits your player, measure from the heel of the palm to the top of the index finger; the 11.5-inch length strikes the perfect balance, providing enough surface area to knock down balls in the gap while remaining light enough for rapid hand speed. By choosing the 2026 Wilson A1000 1786, you are equipping yourself with the exact web and pocket design used by countless Major League All-Stars, optimized with a leather construction that lets you take the field with confidence immediately.
