Wilson
4.7
(23)
"If you have time to break in this Wilson A2000 DP15 is a great option."
"The A2000 PF is significantly better than the contour fit HOH."
"Get the a2000 because it lasts for like 3-4 maybe 5 years if treated well."
"My 12.75 inch Wilson A2000 is my absolute go-to."
"If treated properly it will last you a lifetime."
"I ended up getting an A2000 and am much happier with it."
"I’m gonna agree that the A2000 is the best option."
"Another recommendation for the A2000."
"If you can find any unused Wilson a2000 for $200 and under, buy it."
"...spend the money on a high quality glove, pro preferred/ A2k/ HOH/A2000. you won't regret it."

(16)
"Rawlings R9 is the obvious answer for a beginner."
"Rawlings R9 is the best glove for his stated budget."
"My son prefers the R9. But the A1000 is also a solid choice."
"R9 or A1000. Have both. Equally great and last a good amount of time."
"For a novice 10 y/o the Rawlings Select Pro Lite is a great option."
"Another vote for Rawlings R9."
"You want a glove that feels real immediately get an R9."
"Hard to go wrong with a Rawlings."
"Personally I would go with the Rawlings R9 they are cheap but good gloves to start with!"

"It's $120 on Amazon and is fantastic."
"Another vote for the powerclose."
"Just got my 7-yo a mizuno powerclose. It really didn’t need any breaking in."
"It’s a great glove. He has no problem closing it and playing with it."
"She really likes her Mizuno MVP Prime since it much softer."
"But as others have mentioned, you can't go wrong with a Mizuno MVP Prime."
"Very low end glove I’d go with the mizuno mvp prime at the least."
"But honestly the Mizuno one was great and we only replaced it because it broke."
"You could probably find an MVP or MVP Prime for about $30-$40 more."
