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

Balls work well for under 8 team. For practice. The size and weight is correct. Durability is fine. They won’t last that long, because of synthetic cover. Perfect for hitting and all things baseball. The bucket is small I’d say it’s a 3-4 gallon bucket. Much cheaper than real leather balls, I would buy again.

Baseball season is starting and a bucket of Rawlings balls is the way to go. Great value.

These are great for young boys practice, but not much else. For teaching young kids the game of baseball reps are king. Doing the same task over and over as a drill will exponentially grow their skill. Use these for that.Get a bucket and start throwing the whole bucket to a kid or have them throw the bucket to you. Hit them off a tee. Even batting is okay with these balls.Know these are not built to last. I think the price reflects this. They wear much less like a baseball made of leather and more like a knock off version of a game ball. They have a lot more give to them than game ready 8U balls. The “leather” feels faux. The stitching is a lower quality and it all shows. The leather Is easily damaged or marked. Even the printing on the ball smudges a lot.For practices these are great balls. Kids will lose balls or balls will just get damaged. Until kids are a certain skill level I think a softer 8U ball with less pronounced stitching is fine. Just know it is a far cry from a game ball you would want your team to compete with. It’s a 5 star product if you are looking for just a ball to practice with.

Sure! Here’s a polished version of your review:Exactly what I needed—24 U8 baseballs, perfect for my son’s team. Great quality, ideal for youth players, and arrived just as expected. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase!

These are good for practice balls. I have purchased these a couple of different times. If left in a hot place (like a shed), the balls tend to become brittle, crack, and peel. If kept in a more climate controlled setting, they last a bit longer. I have had them get wet and they do not become waterlogged like traditional baseballs. These are softer than baseballs for adults or older kids, so great for coach pitch/tball. The bucket is good quality and the lid keeps the balls dry in the even of unexpected rain.

Great value for a bucket of U8 baseballs. Product was packaged well and shipped quick.

Good for practice. I thought they were soft like tee-balls but they are not.

Super great baseballs for my little guy! They ended up all over the yard. Stayed out in the rain and still held up to regular wear and tear :-)
