ProNine OLA-R Raised Seam Baseballs - Dozen
The ProNine OLA-R is the raised seam twin of the OLA: the same full grain leather cover, cushioned cork center, and premium wool blend windings, finished with a precision raised seam. Programs that develop pitchers or play in leagues that use raised seam baseballs get OLA durability with the seam their game calls for. Sold by the dozen.
Why a Raised Seam
A raised seam gives younger and developing pitchers a stronger grip reference for fastballs and breaking pitches, and it is the seam style used across high school and most youth baseball. If your players will compete on raised seam balls, practicing on them keeps every rep transferable.
Same Durable Build as the OLA
Cushioned cork center, premium wool blend windings, full grain leather: the interior that keeps a baseball round and lively through a season of games and batting practice, at the value end of the adult line.
Where It Fits in the ProNine Adult Line
Pick the OLA for low seam leagues and this OLA-R for raised seam play. A step up in leather is the OL; the stamped high school equivalent of this construction class is the NFHSA.
How It Compares to Other Brands
By model number, the OLA-R compares directly to the Rawlings ROLB, the Wilson A1020, and the Diamond DOL-A in their raised seam applications.

Is this the ball for high school teams?
High school game rules require NFHS and NOCSAE stamped baseballs; for games, use the NFHS family. For practice at high school programs, the OLA-R is a popular raised seam workhorse.
Low seam or raised seam for practice?
Match your games. Raised seam leagues should practice raised seam; college-track players working toward low seam play should mix in the OLA.
