Champion Sports Pitching Machine Softballs

These balls are designed for standard pitching machines that utilize a wheel-based delivery system. Because they are made of a durable plastic and vinyl composite, they are specifically engineered to withstand the high-velocity compression and friction these machines generate.

The dimpled surface acts similarly to the dimples on a golf ball, reducing drag and stabilizing the ball in flight. This ensures that every pitch travels on a consistent, predictable path, allowing the batter to focus entirely on timing and swing mechanics rather than adjusting for erratic movement.

These are strictly training balls intended for use with pitching machines. They are harder and denser than standard softballs, so they should not be used for live batting practice against a pitcher or for fielding drills where players are catching them with their bare hands or standard gloves.

Select the size that matches the regulation ball used in your specific league or age group. The 11-inch ball is typically used for youth softball, while the 12-inch ball is the standard size for high school, collegiate, and adult slow-pitch and fast-pitch leagues.

The plastic and vinyl composite construction is highly resistant to the wear and tear caused by repeated high-velocity impacts. While no pitching machine ball lasts forever, this material is specifically chosen to maintain its shape and structural integrity far longer than leather-covered balls when subjected to machine use.
