Overview
An 8 pack of 70mm plastic baseballs from Franklin Sports, perforated for lightweight flight and aimed at batting practice and swing training rather than realistic ball weight.
The perforated plastic shell is the point here, slowing the ball down and softening contact, which suits backyard or indoor swing drills where a real baseball would be unsafe. At 70mm these run smaller than a regulation baseball, closer to a dedicated training size.
- 8 plastic baseballs per pack
- 70mm perforated construction
- Lightweight, low-sting design
- Built for batting and swing drills
Who it's for
Good for parents and coaches running swing or pitching drills in tight or indoor spaces where a hard ball is a hazard. Not a substitute for weighted practice balls or anything meant to replicate true batted-ball flight.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight plastic is safe for indoor use
- 8 pack gives plenty for repeated drills
- Perforated design softens contact
- 70mm size runs smaller than a regulation baseball
- Weight will not match a real baseball for timing drills
Performance notes
The perforated plastic construction keeps these balls light and slow in flight, reducing sting on contact and letting them be used in yards or indoor spaces where a real baseball would risk breakage or injury. That same lightness means they will not train timing against a true baseball's speed or weight.
