ProNine LVL1 OL Level 1 Tee Ball Baseballs - Dozen
The ProNine LVL1OL is a reduced injury baseball for players 12 and under: the Level 1 step, stamped for official tee ball play. It looks and throws like a real baseball, but a low compression durable rubber center and a 4.5 ounce weight keep it friendlier than a standard ball for kids still learning to catch, while the synthetic vinyl cover with its tough tacky grip gives small hands something to hold onto. Sold by the dozen.
Built for Small Hands and New Players
The seam is a medium height designed for small hands, the tacky vinyl cover grips easily in any weather, and at 4.5 ounces the ball is lighter than a standard baseball. Low compression construction means mishandled catches and body contact are part of learning the game, not a reason to fear it. ProNine rates the whole family perfect for coach pitch and arm-style pitching machines.
Level 1 and Level 5: The Two Steps
Level 1 is the entry step, stamped for official tee ball play; Level 5 is stamped for official league play as kids move up. Both levels share the same cover, center, and 4.5 ounce build; the level tells you which stage of play the stamp puts it in. This ball's counterpart is the LVL5 OL Level 5 ball.
