Many people don't realize how large of a role the baseball itself plays in hitting. So today, we're comparing the exit velocity & distance of 4 different types of baseballs:
-Rawlings Official MLB Baseball
-Rawlings NCAA Baseball (it is widely believed that this ball was juiced in late 2022)
-Wilson NFHS A1010HS1 Baseball
-Champro Practice Baseball

what up what up we here with the
baseball bat Bros and today folks we're
diving into one of the most overlooked
parts of hitting how the baseball itself
affects hitting performance so today we
have a starting out with a high school
baseball we're going to compare that to
what I think is recently ever more
Juiced a college NCAA baseball and
finally you guys know these ones are hot
a Major League Baseball let's get
it oh that was hit so hard what
all right so here's our four sets of
baseballs today we're going to start
with our standard bat Bros baseball
right here this is I think it's probably
going to be uh pretty similar to a high
school ball these are just our standard
Cho pitching machine baseballs and then
from what I've seen the most common High
School gamer right here the Wilson a1010
hs1 and then college and MLB are both
Rawlings here uh a flat seam NCAA
baseball from Rawlings the fsr1 NCAA and
finally the pro1 of baseballs the Major
League Baseball one of these cost
$25 so these were not easy to come by
but we've got at least two or three
dozen of each baseball here and we got
hit tracks to gather the data today
we're going to see what our best exit V
is with each baseball we could hit
outside but we only have two dozen each
ball that'd be a real pain in the butt
here's our bat of choice we're swinging
a a BB core the bat standard for high
school and college baseball a dampened
performance metal bat this is the D
Marini the goods two-piece and we'll
show the difference with with wood as
well at the end we got a Louisville
aunia ra1 13 Maple right here all right
so what I'm expecting going into this is
that each level we go up from high
school to college to MLB the baseball is
going to actually be hotter uh more exit
V more distance 1 mph of exit velocity
that you're going to see here on the hit
tracks equates to about 5 ft of distance
so like 5 mph extra would be 25 ft which
if you played baseball that is pretty
significant so we're going to start with
our standard bat bro ball here and see
what we're at we'll get like five or so
barrels with each one uh get our top V
from each ball then we'll do a little
swing off with some wood bat at the end
let's start with the standard yellow
chamro
ball good Barrel right there 101
[Music]
mph hit well okay about 102 there that's
our distance High
350 good Barrel 102
102 one
more perfect perfect okay 103 mph 102
103 with the yellow balls all right now
moving on to the Wilson a1010 hs1 High
School
baseball oh that was hit so hard
what those are good 1067
dude these feel good oh baby
105
dude it's not even close so far the high
school baseballs are doing way better
than I expected 1067
406
see
102 419
dude give me one more of those yellow
balls that's very
different all right so a very that was
smoked very clear difference between the
first two all right so already a 3 mph
difference moving on to round three the
NCA baseball this might win the whole
thing I'd be shocked if this wasn't
better than
1067 dude those feel like rocks 10
72
1085
391 off the hands for 1049 that wasn't
even a full swing dude that was a bad
swing 1083
bro oh that's off the hands again
105 jeez
107 freaking rocks bro all right now for
our fourth round the Major League
official base ball here we're already up
at 1085 I would love to see a 110 out of
the big leag
ball
1072 see you ball farest ball of the
day yes sir 437
1074 1088 that's our
high oh baby
1067
427 oh that's H so freaking hard
1091 okay one more for 110
here 1088 we are now going to see one
barrel with each ball with the wood bat
with the differences
there hammered 99.3 that's kind of
depressing but
99 okay easy plus 2 mph
101.3 1036 with the college ball now
let's try the big leot ball
jeez all right so a very similar steady
increase you saw even more separation
with the wood bat against a big leag
ball right there so we'll average all
those together but I got to hit 110 boys
okay K big Le ball gold saer hybrid
let's
go so looking at at our data right here
with Max and average exit Vos a pretty
clear increase in performance from each
of our four levels and to paint this in
uh a little more of a real world
scenario we'll pretend I hit the same
home run at the same 30° launch angle
with each of these baseball so starting
with our yellow chamro BP ball uh if I
hit that ball 375 ft moving to the high
school ball that same hit would go about
390 ft that same hit with a college
baseball would go about about 400 ft and
that same hit with a Major League
Baseball would go about 410 ft so these
are all really high quality baseballs
but even between these you're looking at
like we had you know a 30 to 35t jump
from this to this and even you know with
these sanctioned baseballs High School
to MLB we saw a legit 20 20 foot jump
from a a1010 hs1 to an MLB ball while
those Major League home runs are very
very impressive the ball is absolutely
helping just wanted to give a quick
shout to you know how much the ball
itself can impact bat performance
hitting performance and how far above
ball flies
