MacGregor #79PY Synthetic Practice Baseball (dozen)

Description

The MacGregor #79PY synthetic practice baseball is a cost-effective training ball designed for high-volume batting practice, fielding drills, and pitching sessions. The synthetic cover resists moisture and abrasion better than leather in wet or damp conditions, making this a practical choice for programs that train outdoors in variable weather. Inside, a compressed cork and rubber core gives the ball a lively response off the bat that closely mimics game-ball feel during practice reps.

Specifications:

• Cover: Synthetic (moisture-resistant)
• Core: Compressed cork and rubber
• Seams: Raised stitching
• Quantity: 12 baseballs per dozen
• Brand: MacGregor (#79PY)
• SKU: MCB79PYX

The synthetic cover on this practice baseball handles the repeated bat contact and ground impact that comes with daily drills without tearing or scuffing as quickly as a leather ball would in the same conditions. That durability translates directly to lower per-ball costs over a full season of practice. The compressed cork and rubber core maintains its integrity through hundreds of hits, so the ball stays round and weighted correctly even after extended use in the cage or on the field.

Programs that prefer a leather-covered practice ball for a more traditional feel can consider the MacGregor #79 leather practice baseballs, which use the same core construction with a full-grain leather exterior. For game-day use, the MacGregor #97 professional league baseballs offer NFHS-approved construction with A-grade cowhide covers.
