Heater Dimpled Baseballs are yellow pitching machine baseballs, sold by the dozen. They're the ball Heater recommends for most of its real-baseball pitching machines. Each 9" ball is regulation weight with a polyurethane cover, and the dimples give the machine's throwing wheels the same grip on every pitch.
The bright yellow is easy to track out of the machine and easy to find in the grass after batting practice. Use them for hitting, fielding and fly ball work, from youth players to adults.

Leather baseballs vary in seams and weight, and they scuff and soften with use, so a machine throws them less consistently over time. Dimpled baseballs are molded to the same size and weight every time, and the dimples give the throwing wheels an even grip. The result is a more repeatable pitch and a ball that holds up to thousands of rounds of batting practice.
These are the recommended ball for most Heater real-baseball machines, including the Heater Baseball Pitching Machine with Ball Feeder and the Heater Pro Curve. Mini-ball machines like the Heater Crusher use smaller balls, such as Heater Crusher Fast Mini Poly Balls. For other brands, check the machine's manual for its recommended ball.
One dozen keeps a single hitter working between pickups. For team batting practice or a machine with an automatic ball feeder, two to four dozen cuts down on time spent shagging balls. A ball cart keeps them all together between the cage and the field.
