{"product_id":"valle-eagle-ball-bag","title":"Valle Eagle Ball Bag","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valle Eagle Ball Bag is a coaches bag with one job: move a lot of baseballs. It holds more than 110 balls in a 12 by 12 by 18 inch body built from 1680 denier fabric with YKK zippers, carries a fungo bat in an outside sleeve, and keeps a scorebook and pens in a separate end cap pocket. Valle builds it for baseball and softball coaches alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Than 110 Baseballs on One Shoulder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hundred and ten baseballs adds up to roughly 35 pounds before the bag itself, which is why the construction is the story here. The fabric is 1680 denier, the heaviest in Valle's range, the zippers are YKK, and the strap is double stitched under a heavy duty shoulder pad. A ball bag is the most abused bag a program owns, dragged to the mound, dropped at the fence, packed wet, and thin fabric is why most of them last a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobody has to fill it. Load fifty balls and there is room for gloves and smalls on top, which is how most coaches actually pack it. Load it full and it still closes, zips smoothly and carries on the pad, which is the whole test that actually matters at a field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Bag, Three Kinds of Baseballs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost programs run more than one ball: game baseballs that stay clean, practice balls that do the daily work, and training balls for machine or drill sessions. The useful trick with a bag this size is to keep them separated inside it rather than owning three containers. Mesh or drawstring ball sacks dropped into the main compartment turn it into a sorted system, game balls in one, practice in another, and the coach reaching in mid-session grabs the right kind without looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the honest answer to the batting cage problem. A cage session eats a hundred balls an hour between rounds and pickups, and hauling that count in anything smaller means two trips or a spilled bucket. One shoulder, one zipper, everything home again at the end, including the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-fungo-bat\"\u003efungo\u003c\/a\u003e riding in its own sleeve on the outside where it cannot bruise a ball bag full of seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Fungo Sleeve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outside shell carries a sleeve sized for a fungo bat, which puts the two tools of a fielding session in one hand. If you are building that kit from scratch, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-fungo-bat\"\u003eValle Eagle Fungo Bat\u003c\/a\u003e is the natural partner, and a case of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-small-training-balls\"\u003eValle small training balls\u003c\/a\u003e rides inside as easily as game balls do. The sleeve earns its keep at the field too: the fungo is the first thing in hand when the bag comes off your shoulder at the mound, not the thing buried under 35 pounds of baseballs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Ball Bag Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaseball and softball coaches first, at every level from youth practice to college programs. It also earns a place with training facilities and with parents running regular cage sessions, because hauling balls in buckets means carrying two hands full and losing the lid, and hauling them in a duffle means loose balls under everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt shares the Eagle range's four colorways, Black, Royal, Navy and Red with white accents, so it can match a program's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-players-duffle-bag\"\u003ePlayers Duffles\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/valle-eagle-catchers-duffle-bag\"\u003eCatchers Duffle\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eValle Eagle Ball Bag Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 12 x 12 x 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: more than 110 baseballs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 1680 denier fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZippers: YKK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraps: adjustable, double stitched, with a heavy duty shoulder pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: main compartment, end cap pocket for scorebook and pens, outside fungo bat sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors: Black, Royal, Navy, Red, each with white accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSport: baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it really hold 110 baseballs?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than 110 is Valle's own figure, and the 12 by 12 by 18 inch body supports it. A full load is heavy, which is what the padded strap and 1680 denier fabric are for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill softballs fit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, fewer of them by volume, and Valle builds the bag for both games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat fits in the outside sleeve?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fungo bat, which is the tool most coaches carry with the balls. A standard bat fits the same sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it better than a bucket?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries three buckets worth on one shoulder, closes with a zipper instead of a lid, and stows flat when empty. Buckets still win as a seat, which is why most coaches end up with the bag doing the hauling and one bucket riding along for the bullpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan wet baseballs go in it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey can ride home in it, but unzip it and spread them when you get there. Wet baseballs stored sealed go soft, and that is the balls' fault, not the bag's; the 1680 denier fabric itself handles a wet field day without trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan it be a regular equipment bag?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, though the shape is optimized for bulk rather than gear.
