8-10 dozen per game is what the MLB reports, so 233,000 to 292,000-ish a year for the league during the regular season, probably 325K+ if you count playoffs and WS.
I umpire with a guy who does NAIA and did three years of A ball, and he said in the minors teams generally had 6 dozen at each game and they went through at least 5 no matter what.
Last night I did a JV/V double header, started the JV game with 4 and tossed one because of a cut from the fence, varsity game I got 5 plus 1 at the mound and gave the coach 6 balls back at the end. Actually, getting 6 gamers is unusual for varsity around here, most times it’s 4 or 5.
Interesting discussion about BALLS!
