The balls are great. Our players use them daily. They hold up and fly as true as any machine ball we have ever had.

La pelota de espuma Tater® es la respuesta de peso reglamentario a las pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquina de lanzar que vuelan de forma incorrecta. Con 5 oz, es una verdadera pelota de béisbol de espuma de 5 oz que coincide con el peso de una pelota de juego real, por lo que la trayectoria de vuelo que sus bateadores ven salir de la máquina es la trayectoria de vuelo que verán en un turno al bate real. Como una pelota de espuma pesada para máquina de lanzar —una de las pelotas de espuma para máquina de lanzar más pesadas del mercado— no se eleva ni flota a alta velocidad. Se vende por docena. Fabricado en Cheshire, Connecticut, por el mismo taller que suministra bates de madera a los bateadores de la MLB —las únicas pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquina que comprará directamente de una tienda de bates real, no a través de un distribuidor.
Qué hace que las pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquina de lanzar Tater® sean diferentes
La mayoría de las pelotas de béisbol de espuma del mercado son demasiado ligeras. Se elevan de forma antinatural de la máquina. Entrenan los ojos de su bateador para esperar una pelota que no existe en un juego real. Nuestras pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquinas de lanzar fueron construidas de manera diferente:
- Peso reglamentario real de 5 oz: La mayoría de las pelotas de béisbol de espuma pesan 3.6 oz o menos y se elevan de forma antinatural de la máquina. La pelota de espuma Tater® coincide con el peso de una pelota de béisbol real —la trayectoria se mantiene verdadera a altas velocidades y las repeticiones en máquina realmente se traducen en turnos al bate de juego.
- Compatible con todas las máquinas importantes: Construida para alimentar limpiamente a través de Trajekt Arc, Hack Attack y Hack Attack Junior, Spinball iPitch, JUGS, ATEC, Heater y Sports Tutor —rectas, curvas, sliders, la mezcla completa de lanzamientos.
- Vuelo real a alta velocidad: Sin elevación de última hora, sin corte, sin hundimiento. Mantiene su línea a más de 95 mph para que los bateadores vean un vuelo de pelota real, no ruido de pelota de espuma.
- Repeticiones sin dolor: La espuma que amortigua las vibraciones absorbe el impacto del contacto. Los bateadores pueden balancear con toda la intención sin dolor en las manos o las muñecas —el tipo de repeticiones que construyen un swing real en lugar de uno cauteloso.
- Construida para trabajo en jaulas de alto volumen: Diseñada para jaulas cubiertas, instalaciones de bateo, gimnasios, garajes y patios traseros. Soporta miles de cortes a través de la máquina sin romperse.
- Utilizada desde ligas juveniles hasta la MLB: Instalaciones de bateo fuera de temporada, programas universitarios y los bateadores de la MLB a los que Tater® suministra entrenan con estas pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquina de lanzar.
Para quiénes son estas pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquina de lanzar
Los entrenadores que dirigen prácticas en interiores aprovechan al máximo su tiempo en la jaula. Los padres aprovechan al máximo su tiempo en el garaje y el patio trasero. Las instalaciones de bateo fuera de temporada las utilizan en los carriles de la máquina de octubre a marzo. Los equipos de ligas juveniles las compran por docenas para las pruebas y el trabajo en jaulas en días de lluvia.
Construido por una marca de béisbol en Cheshire, CT
Tater Baseball® ha estado fabricando bates de madera a mano en Cheshire, Connecticut desde 2015. Suministramos a bateadores en la MLB, MiLB y programas universitarios de la División I - III. Construimos estas pelotas de espuma después de que clientes profesionales y de ligas juveniles nos las pidieran constantemente. Necesitaban pelotas de béisbol de espuma para máquinas de lanzar que no comprometieran la sensación. Cada docena se envía desde nuestra tienda de Cheshire con el mismo estándar de calidad que nuestros bates de madera profesionales. Combínelas con nuestros bates de entrenamiento para la configuración completa de fuera de temporada.
Former pro player · Hitting coach

I have used other foam balls that are too light and create unrealistic spin and movement. Other balls also do not provide the same feedback off the bat as Tater foam balls do. Because the weight is equivalent to a regular baseball, hitters can feel squared-up contact much more effectively.
Being able to use training bats and wood bats without the possibility of breaking the bat creates a much more competitive training atmosphere. I highly recommend these balls to anyone who trains high-level players, and to coaches with kids at the youth level, to take the worry out of high-velocity machine practice.
Tater® vs. everyone else
The foam ball that trains like a real ball.
Most pitching machine balls teach bad feedback — sting, weird flight, unrealistic movement. The Tater® Foam Ball is built for game-speed reps with true flight and real feel.

When you train at game speed, the ball matters. The Tater® Foam Ball is built to the same exacting standard as our wood bats — regulation weight, stable flight, and zero sting.
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL PITCHING MACHINES
Our high density foam balls are universal and work well with all types of pitching machines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight of the Tater® Foam Ball?
The Tater® Foam Ball weighs 5 oz — the regulation weight of a real baseball. Most foam pitching machine baseballs on the market weigh 3.6 oz or less, which makes them rise unnaturally out of the machine and trains hitters' eyes to expect a flight path that doesn't exist in real games. The 5 oz Tater Foam Ball matches game weight, so machine reps actually translate to live at-bats.
How do Tater® Foam Balls compare to regular baseballs or other foam balls?
Unlike regular baseballs, Tater® Foam Balls eliminate the sting on mis-hits and reduce bat damage. Compared to other foam balls, their true weight provides a realistic flight path for accurate training feedback and consistent performance.
Do Tater Foam Baseballs work with Trajekt Arc, Hack Attack, and iPitch?
Yes — Tater foam pitching machine baseballs are built to feed cleanly through every major machine used by college and pro programs, including Trajekt Arc, Hack Attack and Hack Attack Junior (Sports Attack), Spinball iPitch, JUGS, ATEC, Heater, and Sports Tutor. The 5 oz weight matches what these machines are calibrated for, and the dense foam construction won't scuff the wheels the way synthetic-leather balls do.
Why do most other foam pitching machine baseballs rise out of the machine?
They're too light. Most foam pitching machine baseballs weigh 3.6 oz or less — significantly under the 5 oz weight of a regulation baseball. Lighter foam balls catch more lift off the pitching machine's wheels and rise unnaturally as they approach the plate. Hitters end up training their eye for a flight path that doesn't happen in a real game. The Tater Foam Ball is built to 5 oz specifically to fix this.
What's the difference between the Tater Foam Ball and the Tater Foam Core Ball?
The Tater® Foam Ball is a solid high-density foam ball — 5 oz regulation weight, sting-free, built for high-volume cage work and machine reps. The Tater® Foam Core Ball uses the same 5 oz weight but wraps the foam core in genuine leather with Kevlar-stitched seams for maximum durability and the closest possible feel to a real game ball. Use the Foam Ball for daily training; use the Foam Core for game-feel reps and showcase prep.

Tater® Foam Ball by Tater Baseball® | Pitching Machine Balls
We needed a ball we can use outside when it’s wet. These fly pretty true.
Great balls feel like real balls players love using them
My daughter plays Little League AAA with the boys… she actually developed a bone bruise in her hand from so many hours in the cage. So we got her these Tater balls that are the same size and weight as a regular baseballs but just less impact on her hands. Then I started using them with my whole team and everybody loves them. We use a Hack Attack Jr and it works perfect… much better than using leather balls in the hack attack.
Great product
Daily training, great product!
Amazing. Best machine baseballs ever - getting me ready for men’s League action
The tater balls are perfect! Nice and heavy and they don’t make a lot of noise, which is nice for the neighbors:)
I did a lot of research on foam baseballs for our training business. Tater by far has been a game changer. These balls are durable and fly through the air out of the machine with the same characteristics as a baseball. Worth the investment!
Save our composite bats with great feedback
We recently added Tater Foam Balls to our training sessions and they’ve been a game changer. The safety factor allows our hitters to swing aggressively without fear, while still getting realistic feedback off the bat. They’re durable, consistent, and perfect for both youth and advanced players. Great for machine work, front toss, and high-rep training. Highly recommend for any serious training facility.
The guys like them so far. Hoping they hold up like everyone is saying.
These balls fly really true at high velocities. Our hitters have given great feedback on hitting these and the similarity to regular machine hardballs, but appreciate not getting their hands rung up on mishits.
These work great. They fly true, and the seams work well to manipulate ball path subtly. Wish the red didn’t wear off, but NBD
Great training balls for both youth and professionals. I use these often with hitters and catchers
Bought 5 dozen and really like the product so bought another 5 dozen. Hoping to save money on baseballs long term! Easier on the hands and bats! Similar exit velo to real baseballs
Great for pitching machine
Balls are amazing. High quality. Best I’ve ever used.
These foam balls are awesome. Work great running them through the pitching machine. Great quality. My son loves them and we will be ordering more.
The foam balls are great for our backyard cage. True flight as described and they can take a beating. We will bring these to our team cage for some more hard hitting action. Let's see how they hold up. Until than, so far so good.
Son Yohan loves the TaterBalls. Ball flight flight from machine is representative of leather baseballs. Also helps reduce stings.
We love the Tater balls. No sting on miss hits and no wear and tear on the bats.
TB brand is awesome enjoy your equipment and look forward to future endeavors!
These balls are great machine balls. I have used them so far for skill work stations (drag/push bunts) as well as blocking and receiving for catchers out on the field. They are very firm foam and go through the hack attack without any issue at all.
The balls fly much more consistent and have no sting which makes practice more enjoyable.
The Tater balls are perfect. I cranked the machine up to 95–100 mph, and they flew with more precision than standard baseballs or even dimple balls. The consistency is incredible—it lets me work the edges of the strike zone with full confidence, knowing the balls won’t stray and risk hitting my two sons while they’re hitting. Exactly what I needed for safe, high-level training.
I replaced regular baseballs with these Tater Balls and the results are great. Less sting on the hitters hands and the balls last longer. I was going through way too many baseballs with our Hack Attack machine and that was getting expensive. This seems to have fixed our problem!
Great ball flight
I’ve scowled through the foam baseball scene for about two years. Trying just about every brand on internet. Tater foam balls take the crown. They are the hardest most dense foam I’ve found. And they are the same weight as a baseball. Which leads to more consistency. Most others are lighter, so spin can be less efficient. I can’t wait to get my hands on their foam balls wrapped in leather! TATER all the way!! #TeamTater
