12-Count BATA Dimpled Pitching Machine Baseballs 

It is critical to the performance and longevity of your BATA pitching machine that you use BATA brand dimpled pitching machine balls.  The accuracy and consistency of each pitch depends upon how well the pitching machine wheel grips the outer surface of the ball.  BATA pitching machines are optimized for BATA pitching machine balls.  In fact, BATA machines are not guaranteed to work with other brands of dimpled balls.

BATA dimpled pitching machine balls are specifically designed for superior performance with BATA pitching machines.  They are lighter (4.2 ounces for optic yellow balls and 4.5 ounces for white balls) than a regular baseball (5.0 ounces), so they are pitched a little faster and curve the same amount as a real pitch.  They are also slightly softer than a leather baseball, so they have less impact on the bat.  They pitch more consistently than leather baseballs because they have a 100% consistent surface with no seams.  The seams (and space in between the seams) on leather baseballs can affect how the pitching wheel grips the ball and can make the pitch inaccurate.  The abrasive surface of the seams also wear out the wheels faster.
