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

Purchased for hitting practice for my son. Couple of balls with poor stitching, but overall gets the job done.

After a single use they are showing some wear already. However, these were bought with the full intention of being throw away baseballs. I was hoping to get a little lucky that they would last longer. At this rate I dont think the majority of these baseballs will make it to the end of our baseball season.

Decent practice baseballs, they are the synthetic leather that feels like plastic. I use them for tee drills and BP, they have held up ok. They were cheap so I don’t care if they get beat up during BP. I would not use them for bullpen sessions or fungo.

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.

It’s a bucket of baseballs exactly as advertised.

Very good quality! Perfect for at home!

I am not the typical person to complain about a product. I researched this product and read many complaints about these being cheap balls and falling apart. I thought to myself, Yeah Right, they are baseballs they are not just going to fall apart. I have used these balls for the past for weeks, with my three children: my son is 12 and plays little league baseball and middle school baseball, my daughter is 11 and plays park and rec softball and middle school softball, and my other daughter is 9 and plays little league baseball. We only practice on the weekend, one day, for about 2 hours (cause they are always at practice and games any other time). Already, after 4 uses, half of the balls in the bucket are damaged. By damage I mean, the outer synthetic plastic covering is torn, missing a piece, bunched up, bubbled, or the threading is tear away. This balls are at a cheap price, because they are really actually cheaply made. I will never by a synthetic ball again, Ill invest the extra money next time on some real leather balls or actual baseballs. These balls were so bad, I told myself that I have to take the time to write a review so other people know how bad they actually are. My children and I would highly recommend buying another ball, you will be disappointed with these. Thank you for your time!

Dumb as a bucket of balls. I mean really, it’s a bucket of balls. Need balls equals by this.

Great value for quantity

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
