My 14 yr old DD plays CF and 2nd base. She will start high school this year. Currently using a Bradley 12.25 due to extremely narrow wrists and fingers. I am looking for a good outfield glove to last through high school. I have had her try on some gloves at Dicks when we were out of town and the only gloves she felt were tight enough around the wrist were the Wilson A2000 11.75 and the 12 Sierra Romero. None of the sporting good stores in my hometown carry fastpitch gloves. Would prefer to get her into a 12.75-13 that is light if anyone knows something that could possibly fit.
Thanks

I think both Wilson and Rawlings do free shipping and free returns.

Someone commented in the reviews of this one about the fit. It also doesn't have Velcro which I think is a good thing. Edit: its LH only on there but dicks carries it.

I’m not worried about Velcro her Bradley doesn’t have it. Just worried about the fit. If it’s similar fit to the 11.75 or Romero I would be fine with it.
Thanks

Until you answer the budget question, check out this 12.5” All-Star System Seven, Don Morton’s always has a coupon code going.

I'm certainly no glove expert, my my DD plays the same positions as your DD and she has the Wilson A2000 12.5,. She's got it at 14, she's had it for a year and half, tough to break it in , but she loves it now.

I wouldn’t go any bigger than 12.5

I agree......although the 12.75” RV1961 plays in at 12.5”. It’s plenty of outfield glove, but I think it’s too big for 2B.

I honestly believe those two positions require two different gloves.

My question last night about the budget was to tell the OP to check out a custom Rawlings 12.5” Pro302 off of the builder. The Pro302 has the snuggest / tightest hand stall of all Rawlings outfield gloves.

Yeah, a bit pricy but it’ll definitely last her all the way through HS, and is highly customizable and the HOH model will be made out of awesome Japanese tanned Steerhide! Can’t always look at the initial up front cost, you’ve got to do the math on what it’ll cost per year over a 3 or 4 year span.
