Why Coaches Need Tater Foam Balls

If you're a coach, here's why you need Tater's high-density foam balls with your hitters.

Why coaches pick Tater foam balls

Game speed, full intent

Most foam balls are lighter than a baseball, so at high velocity they rise, sink or cut out of the machine. Ours fly straight and consistent every time, so your hitters can train at game speed with full intent. More on why the weight matters in our foam pitching machine ball weight guide.

Train all year with any bat

Tater foam balls have the same size, weight and visual seams as a real baseball but take the sting out. That means your hitters can use their wood bats, metal bats or training bats all year round, indoors or out.

Built for the cage

They're built to hold up through the toughest training sessions and work with all pitching machines. Programs are already using them: we just packed 40 dozen for The Natural Ballplayer.
