Balls for Pitching Machines
The baseball you choose for your pitching machine can greatly impact its longevity and the quality of batting practice. If you already have a pitching machine, buy and use pitching machine baseballs that your machine is designed to pitch.
To clarify the differences, we created this pitching machine ball guide with the pros and cons of different pitching machine baseballs and softballs so that you can make an informed purchase.
Get More Performance Out of Your Pitching Machine
Some of our customers report that their pitching machine is not as accurate or fast as advertised. After investigating, we found that they only needed to use the correct type of ball.
Using pitching machine-rated balls, whether dimpled or leather, will give you more consistency and faster speeds out of the machine.
Get More Longevity out of Your Pitching Machine
Using the wrong type of ball can damage your pitching machine and shorten its lifespan, particularly in lower-cost, one-wheel machines sensitive to the type of ball used.
Regular baseballs, even with high-quality machines, can mark and damage the pitching machine wheels over time, as well as the baseball itself. This holds for both baseballs and softball pitching machines.

- Improves accuracy and strike consistency
- Achieves faster pitch speeds
- Reduces wear and tear on the machine
- Increases the longevity and lifespan of the machine
- Enhances overall efficiency of batting practice
