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

I purchase a bucket of balls for my son to practice with. The balls are really nice, and for the price I dont think you can find anything better.

Just in time for baseball season. Perfect for practice.

These are some of the softest baseballs Ive ever seen. To not buy these expecting to hit tanks or high exit velos. Fine for throwing and tee work but not much else.

Likes them because they are bouncy

Great and cheap way to focus on skills and stop chasing down baseballs. These are fine for younger players who are just starting to develop (5-9) but probably wont stand up to what older kids can dish out. Again, these are not pro quality by any stretch but they are CHEAP, and perfectly suited for practice with younger players.

Well I guess I was confused as to what I was ordering, because buying 2 dozen in a bucket (this product) is not the same as buying the 1 dozen. The one dozen is actually leather baseballs, and this product is the synthetic (plastic) covered ball. I should have paid more attention to what product I was ordering, so for what I got I guess that this is actually a fair price and quality. But for what I THOUGHT I was getting, this is no where near. I am a high school baseball coach so I am looking at getting balls for cage work and field/game use. I am looking to buy them in bulk so I am always shopping for the best price. Since these balls were the cheapest I instinctively went for these without looking at all the details. The silver lining is that I only ordered this one bucket and I can still use these for soft-toss and tee work, so not a total loss. Again, this was my fault, but just know that this bucket of 2 dozen balls ARE NOT REAL BASEBALLS (leather), they are plastic.

Pleased overall. The balls are of low-average quality, a couple of them are cut up now. Cant go wrong for the price though. But been using them for batting practice with team to save the better league balls weve been issued for fielding practice/games.

Not leather balls. These are the plastic balls that feel like junk in your hand.

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.

Update: These baseballs have made it through a couple of seasons now with multiple practices a week. I have since ordered better balls, and do find myself skipping over these and grabbing one of the better balls, especially when Im working with pitchers. As stated before, the seams on these just dont stick up as much. Ive since moved onto these: Rawlings RCALI Cal Ripken Baseballs. The Cal Ripken balls are much much better, but...they should be since one dozen of those costs as much as two dozen of these. If youre looking for high quality balls, these are not it. If youre looking for decent practice balls, these are a good buy! Original Review: Arrived on time. Needed more baseballs for practice. These fit the budget. They are not the highest quality, nor the lowest. The seams dont stick out as far like they do on more expensive baseballs, but for the price and the fact that I am using them solely for practice, they work perfectly. Will buy more when I need more.
