Rawlings | Official League Recreational Use Practice Baseballs | Youth/8U | OLB3 | Bucket | 24 Count

Great for practice

We got these to simplify baseball practice with my athletic son, and they did the job perfectly.... HOWEVER he stored them in his bedroom closet and it took us a couple of months of him having breathing issues (we checked for allergies, for asthma, even had a couple of urgent care visits) before we realized **this** innocuous bucket in his closet had a funky chemical smell. We relocated it to the garage and his symptoms all cleared up (and his doctor confirmed our suspicions / said it was lung inflammation )... and hes back to being healthy and athletic with no breathing problems. This bucket is convenient and great to have around for batting practice (etc.), but do use caution and store them outside

Purchased for hitting practice for my son. Couple of balls with poor stitching, but overall gets the job done.

I was just looking for the cheapest bucket of balls to practice at home with and these for the bill. The ink does seem to come off after some hits but so far so good.

Some of the balls had dirty fingerprints while others were scuffed. I can only assume they were already played with. For nearly $50 I would expect to at least received balls without mud dried to them. Unfortunately my son didn’t want to wait for new ones so I guess this is one of those ‘live and learn’ situations for me.

I needed baseballs so I could work on my swing with my brother and it’s a lot harder to find quality baseballs for a good price. These aren’t amazing quality but they get the job done.

Good quality

I am not the typical person to complain about a product. I researched this product and read many complaints about these being cheap balls and falling apart. I thought to myself, Yeah Right, they are baseballs they are not just going to fall apart. I have used these balls for the past for weeks, with my three children: my son is 12 and plays little league baseball and middle school baseball, my daughter is 11 and plays park and rec softball and middle school softball, and my other daughter is 9 and plays little league baseball. We only practice on the weekend, one day, for about 2 hours (cause they are always at practice and games any other time). Already, after 4 uses, half of the balls in the bucket are damaged. By damage I mean, the outer synthetic plastic covering is torn, missing a piece, bunched up, bubbled, or the threading is tear away. This balls are at a cheap price, because they are really actually cheaply made. I will never by a synthetic ball again, Ill invest the extra money next time on some real leather balls or actual baseballs. These balls were so bad, I told myself that I have to take the time to write a review so other people know how bad they actually are. My children and I would highly recommend buying another ball, you will be disappointed with these. Thank you for your time!

Exactly what we expected. We were looking for a bucket of balls that weren’t over $100 for our son to practice with. They are synthetic and not leather but for $29 you can’t beat a bucket of 24 balls

Overall, a good practice ball for 8U for the price. I was able to buy it at $39.99 or $1.67 per ball. Great deal at that price. Its not real leather, so it does scuff easier and is softer than real leather baseballs and gets a little slick. I would use this for pitching practice. But its a great general ball for fielding and works well in machines. Good buy for general practice balls for younger teams.
