Baseballs for
the right Level of Play


The Major League rule states that baseballs should be 9-9 1/4 inches in circumference. They cannot weigh less than 5 ounces and not more than 5 1/4 ounces.

The middle of the ball is cork which is covered with rubber. This cork and rubber center is tightly machine wound with cotton and wool yarn.

A two piece leather cover is stitched together with 108 stitches of waxed cotton yarn.

All balls must pass the set standards for size, weight and shape. They also must be uniformly lively. To insure this, they are tested randomly.

For amateur leagues, the ball cover can be synthetic leather. They are less expensive than cowhide. Raised stitching makes the ball easier to control. They are good to use for instruction.
