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

although im no beginner, these balls are great for kids wanting to learn or for those like me who just enjoy hitting the cages or off the tee

Rawlings makes great baseball equipment. I have used there baseball products for over 30 years. Their baseballs are the best which is way they are used in the MLB.

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.

It’s a bucket of baseballs exactly as advertised.

I received only 23 balls instead of 24 (2 dozen). I was stiffed one ball. Unfortunately by the time I realized it I had already written my name on all the balls so I couldnt return it. UPDATE: I complained to Amazon and got a refund of $3 so Im changing this from 2 to 4 stars.

Is 24 baseballs , great for batting practice.

If you are coaching 8 and under and want quantity of practice balls, these are great. Drills run quicker, more bp swings, and if you lose a few, so what. Also, a big plus, is if you are practicing on a wet field, these balls allow you to pocket your good leather ones for better conditions. The synthetic holds up better than the leather over the course of a season if they get wet. But again, remember, these are practice balls. For some drills you may want to use game balls, but these fill in the rest. If you are looking for every ball in your bag to be a game ball, Id give it 1 star. If you want a quantity of balls to get you through a youth season of practices, Id it 5 stars.

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.

These are working out great for practice with our 11U baseball player.

These balls are great for extra batting practice balls and just playing catch. Not ideal for pitching practice because the seams are too flat. Overall, we worth the purchase.
