The Wilson 2025 Love the Moment A2000 1612SS is a 12-inch first-base mitt created with Dougie Bedinger, a high-school baseball player with autism. The smaller 1612 pattern is designed for first basemen who prefer easier maneuverability around the bag instead of the maximum reach of a 12.5- or 13-inch mitt.
Its Single Post Web and deep pocket help secure low throws and picks, while the single-break design gives the mitt a clean closing shape. Pro Stock leather provides the structured feel and durability expected from an A2000, and lightweight SuperSnakeSkin reduces weight across the back of the mitt while resisting moisture.
The Love the Moment design is what immediately sets this glove apart. Autism Speaks Blue, bright Pink and Purple gradients, puzzle-piece details, contrasting laces, and exclusive palm branding make the entire mitt feel energetic and personal rather than looking like a standard team-color release.
Comfort Pro Fit adds a soft ProLux leather liner and padded Comfort Sleeve, while Flat Finger Binding improves comfort for players who keep their index finger outside the mitt. This is an especially appealing choice for a competitive first baseman who wants a quick-handling pattern and a design with genuine meaning behind it.
