About the Markwort LT85 Youth League 8.5 Inch Leather Cover Baseballs - Dozen
The Markwort LT85 Youth League Baseball is an 8.5 inch baseball, half an inch smaller around than a standard 9 inch ball, so younger players can wrap their fingers around it, grip the seams and throw with better control. It has a split leather cover coated in polyurethane (PU), a cork and rubber core with yarn winding, and scarlet cotton stitched seams. Sold by the dozen for youth baseball teams, coaches and families. Browse practice baseballs for full-size options.
Who the Markwort LT85 Youth Baseball Is For
The LT85 suits young baseball players working on grip, throwing and catching before they move to a 9 inch ball. It is not stamped for any league, so check your league's ball rules before using it in games. When players are ready for a full-size leather ball, the Markwort LT96 Cushion Cork Center Baseball and Markwort L94 are the next step. For a youth ball with a league stamp, see the Wilson A1074BLL1 Little League Baseballs.
