These practice baseballs are a dependable choice for youth, high school, and travel ball programs that go through large quantities of balls during daily training.

The full-grain leather cover gives these practice baseballs the same hand feel and seam profile that players encounter during games, which is important for building consistent batting and throwing mechanics in practice. The compressed cork and rubber core absorbs the repeated impact of batting cage sessions and infield drills without going soft or losing its shape as quickly as a cheaper rubber-core ball might. Raised stitching provides the grip pitchers need to throw breaking pitches during bullpen work.

For programs that practice in wet or muddy conditions and want a cover material that sheds moisture more effectively, the MacGregor #79PY synthetic practice baseball uses the same core with a synthetic exterior. When it’s time to stock up on game balls, the MacGregor #97 professional league baseballs offer A-grade cowhide leather and NFHS approval.
