We Caught a Baseball 12,000 Times

It’s basically how many times a ball can go through the pitching machine. Just playing catch, a baseball would last probably 50,000+ throws and catches

The wear on the ball is probably from the pitching machines. I feel like you could throw a ball almost forever without the cover coming off

If you threw a baseball to Eric 12,000 times he'd probably drop it 12,000 times

I must say, that speed on the ball was much faster than a casual game of catch.

If you throw a ball (and don’t drop it) I’d think it would last 75,000 plus throws. It’s the machine ruining it lol

The fact they went through 12,000 catches and shut it down as soon as it got interesting was the biggest blue balls ever 😂

I need Trevor back in the mlb

When you had the broken baseball and were making it fly in weird ways it reminded me of something. When I go golf I like to find cracked golf balls and tee off with them cause they take the weirdest flight paths. It's so entertaining to see a ball curve four different directions in one drive.

That one guy who uses the same ball for years.

8:29 nice job on Kevin for syncing this to Super Mario Bros

Quick moment of silence for all of Kevin’s hard work on this video 😂

Haven’t gotten very far into this experiment. But it seems like the ball is being affected more so by the pitching machine than by catching it

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." It was the best line 👌

Thank you Kevin for editing this!

I had a ball that I literally used for years because it had a bunch of cuts and dips in it that made it move crazy like that one. If you threw it righ over the top it would have some insane movement. Sadly the cover came off and it had to be retired

Now you guys should have Eric hit it 12 thousand times 😂

I like the video and I don't mean to nitpick but as others have said, the pitching machine has the most impact on the condition of the ball by a long shot. I think it would not only make for a better video but also be more comfortable for you guys producing it, had you done a small number of throws everyday(100 or less) over the span of years. It could also be a cool way to record moments of your life over the span of a few years or however long it takes. If you're up for it, I'm sure your audience would be interested.

Great video. It was both entertaining and really informative. Ironically, my son and I were just talking today about how long a baseball night last since we segregate our warm up/catching balls from our batting practice balls. I now have an idea that our catching balls will out live me. 😅 Batting balls may be a different story.
