JUGS Softie Genuine Leather Practice Baseballs

Most soft training balls feel like toys in the hand, and young players notice. The JUGS Softie Baseball is different: it has a genuine leather cover with real stitching, regulation size, and a grip like a game ball, but it lands with a soft impact that makes drills safer for younger and developing baseball players. It bounces realistically, plays on any surface, and is sold by the dozen.

Game-Ball Grip in a Softer Package

Because the Softie matches the size and grip of a leather baseball, the throwing and catching habits a player builds in practice carry straight into games. Fingers find the seams the same way, and the ball sits in the glove the way a game ball does. The difference is what happens when a throw gets past the glove: a soft impact instead of a bruise.

Realistic Bounce for Defensive Work

The Softie mimics true ball movement off the ground, so ground balls, short hops and fielding drills look and play like the real thing. That makes it useful for infield work with young players who are still learning to stay down on the ball, and for offensive drills like soft toss and tee work.

Practice Indoors or Out

Softie baseballs are suitable for indoor or outdoor use without damaging bats, flooring or walls, and they will not damage aluminum bats. A gym, a garage or a backyard all work, which keeps practice going when the weather does not cooperate.

Who Softie Baseballs Are For

They are built for backyard players and youth leagues: coaches running early-season drills, parents playing catch with a new player, and teams that want a safer ball for indoor practice without giving up the leather feel.

Using Softie Baseballs With a Machine

Softies are listed among the balls the JUGS MVP Combo pitching machine throws, and they also work in the JUGS Soft Toss Machine for short-range hitting drills. For firmer batting practice balls, see the Sting-Free Realistic-Seam Baseballs, or the leather JUGS Pearl Baseballs for older players.
