Catching Balls

This week on BSBL101 we are going to talk about the best catchers mitts on the market. Some are lighter than others are and some have more durability. The ones that are the best on the market are the Wilson A2k, the Wilson A2000, and the Rawlings Pro Preferred. My experience with all of these have been good but better with some than others.

First glove we will talk about is the Wilson A2k catchers glove. This glove is one of the newest mitts that does have the super skin technology. The superskin technology has two times the durability and two times lighter than the original leather. This glove feels great in hand and breaks in fast. This price of the glove $359.95, the price for this is good for quality and the feel of the glove.

The second glove is the Wilson A2000 with the superskin technology. This superskin technology does all the same things as it does on the A2k mitt. This glove has a little bit less durability to it, but that is expected because of the lower price. This glove does have some problems with the laces breaking. The price of the glove is $259.95 the price is ok for the quality, if it didn’t have the problem the price would be great but I have had to replace the laces three times.

The last glove that we will talk about is the Rawlings Pro Preferred catchers glove. This glove has some of the best leather that I have used and is durable. One thing that I do have to say about the glove is that it is a bit heavy when using it in game. The quality of the leather makes it heavy because the entire glove is made out of it. The price of the glove is $359.95, the price is fair for the glove but the weight makes it not as solid of a glove.

Overall the best glove is the Wilson A2k catchers glove. This glove with the superskin technology, and lightweight feel makes it one of the best options on the market right now. The second best is the Rawlings mitt if you are good at predicting the ball. I would recommend for college athletes the A2k, especially fo the higher athletes.
