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

[trollerskater]

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

[jeffburnham]

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

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

[TheWaterboy]

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

[danielglatz]

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

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

[nickerboker]

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

[lucascarman]

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.

[miillkyy]

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

[Thunderbolt]

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

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

[deeboi]

If this video doesn’t show how dedicated they are I don’t know what will that’s worth a like definitely worth I like

[johnkeebs]

Now that you've done how many throws, you should do how many hits it takes to break a baseball

If you agree

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.

Way to train the basics boys, keep it up and you might make it to the big leagues one day

[chade]

If you just throw a ball back and forth like a game of catch between regular humans, 1 baseball should last for your entire baseball throwing life. I have played catch with 50, 60, and 70 year old baseballs. They are quite durable. Hitting them with bats is what really kills them. Throwing and catching them doesn't cause much damage.

[uckedout]

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.

I feel like this showed the ware n tare of a ball through a pitching machine more than from it being caught. A ball you're playing catch with at 70mph is not going to have that same ware as a ball thru a machine 500 times.

I definitely don't blame you for using the machines, tho. 10k throws in a 4 hour span is definitely not good for the Ole arm. It was cool to see what it did to the gloves and how they were broken in as the experiment continued. Nice vid! Never expect anything less from the guys at momentum!! Always have entertaining vids, and you don't have to ride on the back of Trevor and Sim's trash talk back n forth.

In all honesty, a channel with just those two doing random competitions would be hilarious to watch. Like just walking down the street and challenging who can get someone to honk first or do mini golf, go karts, arcade games, etc. You name it, and their competitiveness will always make for great content. I'd watch every video put out of theirs if they made it. Keep on killin it, guys! And Kevin too lol!!!!

Kevin you the man. I would’ve died editing this
