ProNine LPM7.5 7.5 Inch Leather Pitching Machine Baseballs - Dozen

The ProNine LPM7.5 is the specialty ball of the leather machine line: a 7.5 inch mini baseball built for pitching machine work, with a full grain leather cover, cushioned composite center, premium wool windings, and a flat seam locked down by special armored stitching. Big league organizations run small-ball machine drills to sharpen a hitter's eye, and this is the ball built for exactly that job. Sold by the dozen.

Why a 7.5 Inch Machine Ball

A smaller ball forces a hitter to track and square up a smaller target, and ProNine builds the LPM7.5 with the same liveliness and hardness as a 9 inch ball so the feedback off the bat stays honest. It is not a regulation size baseball and it is not a toy: it is a vision and barrel-accuracy tool used at the highest levels of the game.

Used by Major League Clubs

ProNine's small-ball machine baseballs are in the drill work of Major League organizations including the Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, LA Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, and Tampa Bay Rays. When big league hitters sharpen their eye on a 7.5 inch ball, this is the one in the feeder.

Heads Up: It Needs 3/4 Inch Netting

A 7.5 inch ball can find the gaps in standard cage mesh. ProNine requires 3/4 inch netting for this ball, so check your cage before you order a case. Everything else about it drops straight into your routine with the pitching machines you already run.

Built to Survive the Wheels

Machine wheels chew up raised seams. The LPM7.5's flat seam sits low against the leather and its armored stitching resists the constant friction of wheel-fed reps, which is why leather machine balls outlast game balls in this job by a wide margin.

Will it work in my pitching machine?

It is built for machine use. Wheel settings may need adjusting for the smaller diameter, and your cage must have 3/4 inch netting to contain it.

Want the regulation size version?

The ProNine LPM9 is the same armored flat-seam leather construction in a standard 9 inch baseball.
