Reviews For Top 3 Infield Baseball Gloves
1.) Wilson A2000 1786 11.5" Baseball Glove (WBW100390115)
If you're going to ask our Glove Experts, "What's one of the best infield gloves you can get?", there's a good chance that the number "1786" will get brought up. A Wilson A2000 made in the 1786 pattern is nearly the quintessential infield glove. The 11.5 inch length keeps it at a perfect length for ensuring quick transfers between the glove and throwing hand. As well, the Wilson H-Web (commonly called an I-Web) gives the glove a classic infield look. This model can be used at second base, shortstop and third base. However, we think it will especially shine at second and shortstop due to that 11.5" length.
What Are Customers Saying About The 1786?
It is very stiff, and the dual welting means the glove will stay stiffer and last longer. Shallow pocket, great for quick transfers. Would recommend for any middle infielders.

2) Rawlings Heart of the Hide R2G 11.5" Baseball Glove (PROR314-2T)
Gone are the days of the guarantee that a Rawlings Heart of the Hide baseball glove will take a long time to break into game-ready shape. This infield model of glove is built with Rawlings' R2G (Ready-2-Go) design. This means that when the glove was built, it received extra attention from Rawlings. They softened the leather and thinned out the heel pad of this glove to ensure that only 35% of the break-in process is left to the player (when compared to a regular Heart of the Hide which requires 60%). If playing shortstop or holding down third base, definitely consider this R2G glove.
Three Reasons To Buy:
- The scarlet color-filling on the Heart of the Hide palm stamp gives the glove a luxurious look
- Webbing Is Extremely Popular Among 2B, SS and 3B.
- Deertanned Cowhide Inner Palm Lining & Full-Grain Fingerback Linings Improve Comfort
3) Wilson A2000 1789 11.5" Baseball Glove (WBW100085115)
You can't go wrong with an A2000 and that is why another one has broken our top three list for the best infield baseball gloves. This model will have the 11.5" length that can't be outdone on the infield as it works for second, shortstop and third. In addition, the leather used to build it is time-tested. Wilson's Pro Stock leather holds up to the demands and rigors of of high level baseball. If you or your baseball player is starting to progress in the level at which they are competing, you should consider this glove.
Finally, one last sneaky benefit of this glove is that the Pro Laced T-Web (commonly called a Modified T-Web) makes the glove available for use on the pitcher's mound. It is certainly a little shorter than what we usually recommend for pitchers, but the web will keep a pitcher's throwing hand guarded from batters that may be trying to see what pitch is being gripped.
What Are Customers Saying About The 1789?
Great infield/pitching glove. Wilson quality and form.

Reviews For Top 3 Infield Fastpitch Gloves
1) Wilson A2000 SuperSkin FP75 11.75" Fastpitch Softball Glove (WBW1002081175)
Wilson SuperSkin material has taken a firm hold on the fastpitch and baseball glove scene. That especially shines true with this A2000 fastpitch glove as it desiplays the SuperSkin backing. SuperSkin presents a fourfold list of benefits on a glove:
- It is lighterweight when compared to regular leather
- It repels moisture better than regular leather
- It is stronger than regular leather
- Allows for a faster break-in time when compared to regular leather
In addition, this model is crafted with a 11.75 inch length which is perfect for use on a fastpitch infield!
What Have JustGloves Customers Said About The SR32?
"I just made 10 outs in one game at third...Looks really nice and I love that it’s made with vegan leather [i.e. SuperSkin]"
- JustGloves Customer, Jodi
2) Easton Elite 11.5" Morgan Stuart Fastpitch Softball Glove (MYWHY-ME)
Most fastpitch or baseball fans will first think of bats when they hear the name “Easton”. And even though Easton gloves may not be around for forever, this Elite model should be considered when looking for infield softball gloves. The one has a little bit of a "youth" design due to the presence of the notch near the heel that will make closing the glove easy. But once you put the glove on your hand, you'll be wowed by the feel. Plusd, the single post web gives a great look and players will really enjoy using it on the infield. It'll function great across the infield at Second Base, Shortstop and Third Base.
What You’ll Get With This Glove:
- 11.5” Length
- The signature design of former softball star and current instructor/influencer, Morgan Stuart
- The Quantum Wrist Closure System allows for quickly & easy wrist size adjustments
3) Wilson A1000 H1175 11.75" Fastpitch Softball Glove (WBW1014551175)
The Wilson A1000 series is incredible for developing fastpitch players. This glove gives a professional look, but with leather that should not be too much of a chore for breaking in. As well, it will have a Quick Drawstring Wrist Closure that allows for quick wrist size adjustments that can take place in between pitches. Overall, this glove can work for young ladies getting into the game and even for older ladies that want a cost-effective glove!
Three More Reasons To Buy The H1175:
- I-Web is very popular for infielders
- Full Grain leather is easy to soften up for game use
- The Dri-Lex Wrist Lining provides comfort for the back of the wrist and the knuckles of the player while their hand is in the glove
