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

Felt like regular baseball. Maybe I misread but definitely not soft. Well made baseball for older kids.

My wife and I purchased this gift for our 8 year olds birthday and he absolutely loved and loves it. The smile on his face when he saw a bucket of 24 Wralings baseballs was priceless and the balls seem great. Weve already dug into a few balls and they are holding up very well. For this review: Pros: a bucket of great baseballs. A great presentation...in an awesome bucket! A perfect gift for any child who likes baseball and who is aged maybe 7-12. Quick and speedy delivery (Amazon is great, as always). Awesome packaging and a reasonable price. We absolutely recommend this product. Cons: Cant think any expect that if you are like me, you might want to open the bucket and toss a few balls around before you give it to your child because it is just a great presentation of 24 baseballs! My wife had to keep me from opening it when it arrived ;) Awesome product.

As promised. Larger bucket would be better

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

The cover on these balls is not very durable. I’m still happy I bought them because you get so many for a low price. They are great for young kids. If you have teenagers or adults using them you might want a higher quality ball.

Great price, you can’t beat it! They’re perfect for practicing pitching in the batting cages with my son.

My 7-year old has been practicing with them for a month now. They are holding up just fine.

After reading some of the reviews, I was super nervous about buying these but my 10 year old needed to practice his batting. Well...after three months of regularly hitting these balls into a net, theyre holding up perfectly fine. Yes they have some wear and no, theyre not the best balls in the world, but for the price, Im very pleased. Maybe some of the reviewers have older kids who hit much harder, but for my kid, theyre perfect. Ive attached a photo, this is the average wear on these balls after three months....not bad in my opinion.

These balls work great with the Blue Flame pitching machine we bought at the same time. My kids are 9 (boy) and 7 (girl). They clobber these balls all over the fields. The balls get dirty and wet and hold together just fine. The bucket closes TOO well, if anything. Hard to open. Otherwise, a really quality set at a good price.

We bought these to practice hitting and catching with our son. It’s a great price per ball and love that it comes with the bucket to put them in
