Our verdict

A high seam leather baseball made for high school play, with a cork center built to stay hard. The listing contradicts itself on quantity and weight, so confirm the pack count before ordering.

Overview

High school pitchers and fielders get a ball built for control, with Super Seam stitching raised well above standard seams. Inside is a red cushioned cork center with Dura-Core, wrapped in gray wool and covered in full grain leather.

Taller seams and a core formed to resist softening make this a ball that holds up through a season of throwing. The listing is inconsistent: it says a dozen in one place and ten dozen in another, and the stated weights do not match a single baseball.

Who it's for

High school coaches stocking game and practice buckets will find the raised seams and hard core suited to their level. Anyone ordering for a precise inventory should confirm the quantity with the seller first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Approved for high school play
  • Raised seams for pitch and throw control
  • Leather under the stitches adds durability
  • Core formed to withstand impact
Cons
  • Quantity stated as both dozen and ten dozen
  • Listed weights do not describe one baseball
  • Diameter not listed

Performance notes

Grip at release comes from the seam height, and these seams stand taller than traditional raised seams. The pressure formed cork core with Dura-Core holds its hardness longer, so the ball does not go dead as it takes repeated contact.
