Baseball/Softball Youth Balls

Youth baseballs and softballs are designed to be smaller and lighter than their adult counterparts, making them more suitable for younger players. These balls are tailored to help children develop their skills and improve hand-eye coordination in a safe and comfortable way.

Youth Baseballs: Youth baseballs typically come in sizes of 8 inches or 8.5 inches, significantly smaller than the standard 9-inch adult baseball. The smaller size allows younger players to grip and throw the ball more easily, helping them build the necessary skills to progress to adult-sized baseballs as they grow older.

Youth Softballs: Youth softballs are commonly available in sizes of 10 or 11 inches, which are smaller than the 12-inch regulation size used in adult leagues. The smaller size and lighter weight make it easier for younger players to catch and throw the ball with confidence, without compromising on the quality and feel of the game.

Materials:

Youth baseballs are crafted using high-quality materials such as Grade A full-grain leather or synthetic leather, providing durability and a reliable grip. The cores of youth baseballs are typically soft or cushioned cork, which reduces the hardness and makes them more forgiving when caught or hit.

Youth softballs are made with leather or synthetic leather covers and feature a cork core, soft polycore, or polyurethane core. These materials ensure a balance of softness and durability, which is essential for young players who need to safely practice and play.
