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

Baseballs are so expensive that you must realize the getting 2 dozen balls at this price will mean that some will wear and tear fairly easily. These are good practice balls for my son to hit with. Not sure they will last more than a year or so but thats what I expected. Good for tee hitting and soft toss. Well see how they do on machine pitch soon.

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!

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

I didn’t receive the correct number of baseballs that the product says it includes. It is supposed to come with 24 baseballs which is the number that I needed and it only came with 23.

Use these for tee ball. They work great.

These balls are good for batting practice because they don’t have as much exit velocity as a standard ball, so they are safer if you don’t have a pitching screen. They also are not ruined by wet grass. They can lose shape a little if balls are crushed, but that is ok for BP.

Decent bucket of balls. Probably better for grounders, batting practice, etc. The overall build of the ball feels a bit sketchy, with the leather covering feeling a very small tad bit loose, which is not a game breaker. The seams arent as flat as some balls, again, not a huge game breaker. At the time of my purchase, 2 dozen balls were sold at $39.99, which is an unbeatable price. I can totally see this being a great option for practice and such, not really for game balls.

These do have some rubber to them, not fully “real baseballs”

Felt like regular baseball. Maybe I misread but definitely not soft. Well made baseball for older kids.
