Rawlings Pitching Machine Softballs

Yes, these are specifically engineered for use with standard pitching machines. Their molded polyurethane construction ensures they feed and release consistently without jamming.

The flat seam design minimizes air drag and reduces erratic movement, allowing for a more predictable flight path. This helps hitters focus on timing and tracking the ball rather than adjusting for unpredictable breaks.

These are designed strictly for pitching machine use. While they are durable, the polyurethane cover is harder than a standard leather softball and is not intended for live hitting or fielding drills where players might be struck.

These balls are significantly more durable than leather softballs when used in a machine. The molded polyurethane cover resists the scuffing and tearing that typically occurs when a machine's wheels repeatedly grip and launch a leather ball.

They are designed to mimic the size and weight of a regulation fastpitch softball, but the polyurethane material will feel firmer and have less 'give' upon impact. They are meant to simulate game-day conditions for training purposes, not to replace game balls.
