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.
