ProNine OLAX Blem Practice Baseballs - Dozen
The ProNine OLAX, formerly the OLA-BLEM, is the smartest money in the practice bucket: official league close-out baseballs with cosmetic blemishes that do not affect how the ball plays. Underneath the occasional discoloration, scratch, or wrinkle in the cover is the same construction as ProNine's official league ball: full grain leather, cushioned cork center, wool blend windings, precision raised seam. Sold by the dozen.
What Blem Actually Means
Blemishes include discoloration, scratches, or wrinkles in the cover, and that is the whole story. ProNine states it plainly: the marks will not affect the ball's outstanding durability or liveliness. It plays the same as the regular ball; it just did not pass a beauty contest.
Real Leather Practice Dozens for Less
Programs burn through practice baseballs, and synthetic-cover budget balls do not feel or fly like the real thing. Blems solve it: a full grain leather, cushioned cork baseball at a practice-bucket price, which is why coaches buy them by the case and save first-quality dozens for game day.
The Unblemished Version
Want the same ball with a clean cover? That is the ProNine OLA official league baseball, this ball's first-quality twin. The rest of the practice range lives in the practice baseballs collection.

Do the blemishes change how it plays?
No. Per ProNine, blemishes are cosmetic: discoloration, scratches, or wrinkles in the cover that will not affect durability or liveliness.
Are these good enough for games?
Rec scrimmages, sure. For sanctioned play, leagues expect clean stamped balls, so keep blems where they shine: soft toss, machine work, and everyday live BP.
