Review on ⚾️ Rawlings OLB3BAG12 Official League Recreational Use Baseballs, Bulk Set of 12, White by Barry Shaker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for minor league practice balls

If you're coaching a minor league team and need a lot of practice balls, you can't go wrong with these balls. I coach a 6-8 year old team of trainers. This is an excellent value exercise ball. Better than Rawlings R100-UPY training balls in my opinion. If you do the math, each ball is worth <$2; Compare this to other baseball awards. We lost a few goals, on average 6-10 goals per season. Either from training, or taking the child home. Lost exercise balls don't cost me $50 or more to replace. However, I use Rawlings RLLB balls for games. It feels like what you would expect from a cheap ball - cheap. In any case, they are for practice only. These balls are great for wet weather activities because of their resistance to excess water magazine compared to any thread-wound baseball. You don't hear bats ringing with them, it's more of a "POCK" sound and it doesn't leave the racquet as quickly as RLLB balls. Overall, OLB3 balls perform well.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not bad
