Description
The Wilson A200 EZ Catch 10" Baseball Glove is a youth glove built specifically for young baseball players learning the fundamentals of catching and fielding. Wilson designed the A200 EZ Catch with features that address the most common challenges beginners face: keeping the ball in the glove, closing the glove with small hands, and building confidence during their first seasons of tee ball and coach pitch. This 10-inch glove is available in both right hand throw and left hand throw configurations, and it works at every position on the field.
EZ Catch Wrist Strap for Better Ball Control
The signature feature of this baseball glove is Wilson's EZ Catch wrist strap, a catch assist strap positioned at the heel of the glove pocket. When a young player catches a baseball, the strap helps keep the ball from popping out of the glove on impact. This is especially useful during tee ball and early coach pitch, when players are still developing the hand strength and timing needed to squeeze the glove shut at the right moment. The strap is removable, so as players improve their catching skills and no longer need the extra help, parents can take it off without affecting the glove's performance.
Smaller Hand Opening for a Secure Fit
One of the biggest issues with youth baseball gloves is a loose, sloppy fit that makes the glove hard to control. Wilson addressed this by designing the A200 EZ Catch with a smaller hand opening than standard youth gloves. The tighter opening keeps the glove seated properly on a young player's hand, which means better control when fielding grounders, catching pop flies, and receiving throws during baseball practice and games. Players with smaller hands especially benefit from this design, since an oversized glove opening forces kids to compensate by squeezing harder and losing focus on the ball.
H-Web Design for All Positions
The A200 EZ Catch uses an H-Web pattern, which is one of the most versatile web designs in baseball. The H-Web provides a visible pocket that helps young players track the ball into the glove while still offering enough structure to handle grounders and line drives. Because the H-Web works well at every position on the diamond, parents do not need to worry about buying a position-specific glove at this age. Whether a young player fields grounders at shortstop, catches fly balls in the outfield, or plays first base during tee ball, this single baseball glove handles it all.
Rolled Dual Welting for Shape Retention
Wilson builds rolled dual welting into the A200 EZ Catch, a construction feature usually found in more advanced baseball gloves. The dual welting is integrated into the liner along the fingers, providing internal support that helps the glove maintain its shape over time. For a youth baseball glove that gets tossed in equipment bags, left in the car, and used across multiple seasons by siblings, this added structure keeps the pocket formed and the fingers from going flat. The rolled binding along the back of the fingers adds further stability, so the glove holds up to the kind of use young players put their gear through.
Full-Grain Leather Construction
Unlike many entry-level tee ball gloves that use synthetic materials, the Wilson A200 EZ Catch is made with full-grain leather. This gives the glove a more traditional baseball feel and better durability compared to vinyl or PU leather alternatives. The leather is soft and lightweight enough for young hands to close without a long break-in period. Wilson designs this glove to be game-ready right out of the box, so young baseball players can start using it at practice or games immediately without weeks of softening and shaping.
Who This Baseball Glove Is For
The Wilson A200 EZ Catch 10" is built for beginner baseball players, primarily in the 4 to 8 year old age range. It fits players in tee ball, coach pitch, and early kid pitch leagues who are learning the basics of catching, fielding, and throwing. The glove works well as a first baseball glove for players who have never worn one before, and the catch assist strap provides a confidence boost during those early seasons when dropped balls can be frustrating. Parents looking for a quality starter glove from a trusted baseball brand will find the A200 EZ Catch to be a practical choice that balances performance features with an accessible price point.
This glove is also a solid option for youth softball players at the beginner level. The 10-inch size and all-position H-Web design work for softball just as well as baseball, making it a versatile pick for families with kids trying both sports. The glove is available in both right hand throw and left hand throw, so both right-handed and left-handed players are covered.
How to Use the Wilson A200 EZ Catch
Getting started with this baseball glove is straightforward. Have the player slide their hand into the glove with fingers fully extended into each finger slot. The smaller hand opening should create a snug fit without pinching. The EZ Catch strap sits across the wrist area and can be adjusted for comfort.
For young players just learning to catch, start with soft toss from a short distance of about 10 to 15 feet. Focus on having the player watch the ball into the glove and squeeze once they feel it hit the pocket. The catch assist strap will help secure balls that land in the glove but do not get squeezed in time. As the player improves, gradually increase the throwing distance and introduce grounders by rolling the ball and having the player field it with the glove out front, fingers pointed down.
The glove requires minimal break-in. To speed up the process, have the player simply play catch with it. Placing a baseball in the pocket and wrapping the glove with a rubber band overnight can also help form the pocket faster. Avoid using heavy oils or conditioners on this glove, as the leather is already soft enough for young players to close.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the Wilson A200 EZ Catch 10" glove designed for?
This baseball glove is designed for young players approximately 4 to 8 years old. It fits tee ball and early coach pitch players well. The smaller hand opening is specifically sized for small hands, so it may feel too tight for players over age 9 or those with larger hands for their age.
Can the EZ Catch strap be removed?
Yes. The EZ Catch wrist strap is removable. Many parents keep it on during the player's first season and then remove it once their child is consistently catching the ball on their own. Removing the strap does not damage the glove or affect its structure.
Does this glove need to be broken in?
The Wilson A200 EZ Catch is designed to be game-ready right out of the box. The full-grain leather is soft enough for young players to close without a lengthy break-in process. A few rounds of catch will help the pocket form to the player's hand.
Is this glove just for baseball, or can it be used for softball too?
The A200 EZ Catch 10" works for both baseball and softball at the tee ball and beginner level. The H-Web design and 10-inch size are appropriate for either sport at this age group.
What is the difference between Right Hand Throw and Left Hand Throw?
Right Hand Throw means the player throws with their right hand and wears the glove on their left hand. Left Hand Throw means the player throws with their left hand and wears the glove on their right hand. Select the option that matches the hand your child throws with.
How does the Wilson A200 compare to other youth baseball gloves?
The A200 EZ Catch sits in Wilson's entry-level lineup, positioned as a first glove for beginners. It offers real leather construction and the catch assist strap, which many competing tee ball gloves at this price point do not include. For players ready to step up in quality after the A200, Wilson's A450 and A500 lines offer more advanced features for older youth baseball players.
How should I care for this baseball glove?
Wipe the glove down with a dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and moisture. Store it with a baseball in the pocket and the glove closed to maintain the pocket shape. Keep it in a cool, dry location and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or a hot car, as heat can dry out the leather. Do not use heavy leather conditioners or oils on this glove. The full-grain leather is designed to stay soft without conditioning products.
Can this glove be handed down to a younger sibling?
Yes. The rolled dual welting and rolled binding help the A200 EZ Catch maintain its shape over extended use, making it a good candidate for passing down to younger baseball players. The removable EZ Catch strap can be reattached for the next beginner in the family.
