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

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.

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

Good Quality

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

This is a great value for batting practice. The balls are similar to the real thing and arent too soft.

It’s a bucket of baseballs the are round and seem to be stitched appropriately so they will be good for their intended purpose of batting practice. However I must warn you I have opened up cans of tuna that smelled better than this bucket; hold your breath when you pry off the lid.

Perfect for practice.

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

Good looking balls. Balls as expected. Clean balls. Bucket supports balls well. Easy to handle balls

I liked that they were cheap for the QTY provided, bucket is good quality too for reuse possibilities. Honestly, the balls are cheaply made and already show witness marks and some fraying of the stitching after 3 days of usage. Use for ages 7 and below, older kids (my 9 year old) will tear them up. For by 4 year old its great as he hot hit by a pitch and didnt worry about it due to softness! Recommend for younger kids as mentioned, not for serious play on gravel.
