Why the Details Matter

Sport-Specific Design:

A baseball and a softball are fundamentally different, and so are our MC3 balls. We've precisely matched the official size, weight, and general feel for each sport to ensure the most realistic training experience possible. The flight characteristics out of the machine and the feel off the bat are optimized for your specific game. Using the wrong ball will result in improper training and unrealistic feedback.

Multi-Purpose Versatility:

While both balls are highly durable, the MC3 Softball was specifically reinforced for the rigors of high-repetition defensive drills. Its composite material is designed to withstand countless grounders and fly balls from a machine without the scuffing, waterlogging, or seam-tearing that can ruin leather softballs, making it a true all-in-one practice tool.

The Simple Answer

Ultimately, the choice is straightforward. For the best, most effective training results, you must use the ball designed for your sport.

  • For baseball players, teams, and facilities, choose the MC3 Baseball.
  • For softball players, teams, and facilities, choose the MC3 Softball.
