Wilson Love the Moment A2000 DP15: An 11.5″ Infield Glove Built With Purpose

 

More Than a Colorway

The Wilson A2000 DP15 Love the Moment glove isn’t just a limited-edition look — it’s part of an ongoing collaboration between Wilson Sporting Goods and Autism Speaks, built to raise awareness and funding while still delivering the on-field performance the A2000 line is known for. For every Love the Moment product sold, Wilson donates a percentage of the purchase price to Autism Speaks, with a minimum annual donation commitment that has grown in recent model years.

This guide breaks down what’s built into the DP15 pattern, how its fit differs from a standard infield glove, and what the Love the Moment collaboration actually supports.

The DP15 Pattern: Built Around Dustin Pedroia’s Game

The DP15 pattern traces its roots to Boston Red Sox infielder Dustin Pedroia, designed specifically for infielders who want a tighter, more compact glove. At 11.5 inches, it’s built for quick hands rather than maximum reach — a deliberate tradeoff that favors fast transfers over the deeper pocket you’d find on an outfield or first base pattern.

Pedroia Fit: Why Hand Size Matters Here

What sets the DP15 apart from a standard-sized infield glove is its Pedroia Fit, which uses a narrower wrist opening and shorter finger stalls than Wilson’s typical sizing. That combination creates a snug, close-to-the-hand feel that’s especially well suited to players with smaller hands, or infielders who simply prefer a tighter, more connected fit over a looser, more break-in-dependent glove.

Materials: Pro Stock Leather Meets Lightweight SuperSkin

The glove’s palm and outer shell use Wilson’s Pro Stock leather, chosen for its durability and classic broken-in feel over time. Contrasting panels on the thumb, wrist, and pinky use SuperSkin — a lightweight, moisture-resistant microfiber material that’s roughly half the weight of full leather while offering comparable durability. Together, the two materials balance long-term durability where it matters most with reduced overall weight in the hand.

Pocket Depth and Web Design for Fast Transfers

The DP15’s shallow pocket is designed specifically to help infielders scoop and transfer the ball quickly rather than settle it deep into a cushioned pocket. Depending on the model year, the glove pairs this shallow pocket with either an H-Web or I-Web design, both aimed at giving infielders a clear, open view of the ball as it approaches while still supporting quick, controlled transfers on close plays.

Comfort Details Inside the Glove

Beyond the leather and webbing, Wilson builds in several comfort-focused details: Rolled Dual Welting to help the glove hold its shape over repeated use, Flat Finger Binding for a smoother, less restrictive feel around the fingers, and a moisture-wicking liner designed to keep the hand comfortable through long games in the heat.

The Autism Speaks Partnership Behind Wilson Love the Moment

Every detail of the Love the Moment collection ties back to its underlying cause. The colorway itself carries meaning — Autism Speaks Blue leather paired with Flamingo Pink SuperSkin accents — and Wilson commits to donating a percentage of each sale back to Autism Speaks, with a minimum yearly donation that has increased across recent collection years as the partnership has grown. The goal, in Wilson’s own words, is to support a more inclusive world for individuals with autism throughout their lives.

Who The Wilson Love the Moment Glove Is Best For

The DP15 Love the Moment glove is best suited to infielders — particularly those with smaller hands or a preference for a snugger fit — who want a durable, game-ready glove without an extended break-in period defining their fit. It also appeals to players and families who want their equipment purchase to double as support for a cause they care about.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Pedroia Fit” mean on this glove? It refers to a narrower wrist opening and shorter finger stalls than Wilson’s standard sizing, creating a tighter, more secure fit that’s especially suited to players with smaller hands.

Is the DP15 a good glove for outfielders? Not typically. Its shallow pocket and 11.5″ size are built around quick infield transfers rather than the deeper pocket and larger reach outfielders usually prefer.

How much of my purchase goes to Autism Speaks? Wilson has stated it donates 10% of the purchase price of Love the Moment products to Autism Speaks, with a minimum annual donation commitment that has grown across recent collection years.

Does the glove come pre-broken-in? No. Like most Pro Stock leather gloves, the DP15 benefits from a standard glove break-in process to reach its ideal shape and pocket feel.

Bottom line of the Wilson Love the Moment Baseball Glove

The Wilson A2000 DP15 Love the Moment glove pairs proven, Pedroia-inspired infield performance with a cause that reaches beyond the field. Through its snug Pedroia Fit, durable Pro Stock leather and SuperSkin construction, and ongoing partnership with Autism Speaks, the DP15 gives infielders — especially those with smaller hands — a glove that performs at game speed while supporting a broader mission of inclusion.
