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

agreed, the pitching machine is doing all the damage. Some of the coloration change may be the dye from the leather of the gloves, but all of the damage is from the pitching machine IMO

Probably a million times.. a ball going through a pitching machine easily wears it out more than 100 throws. When a ball it thrown the damage would be hitting the glove.. with the pitching machine.. it’s torn up when the wheels grab it.

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

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.

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

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.

You should do how many hits it takes to break a baseball

😂😂that’s a lot of testing love the commitment though you guys are the real hero’s appreciate y’all ❤😂😮

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.

IDK how you guys made this video interesting, but you pulled it off! Good job Kev!

The grind was amazing

Playing catch is a lot different than feeding a ball thru a machine. Those tires eat balls up. I bet a baseball would last over a million throws in a normal game of catch

Friction of the machines definitely effected the ball.

@johnwray393

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, that's a huge variable in this kinda experiment.

the dedication to this video is immense

The friction of the machine played a huge factor in this

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!!!!

Amazing in more ways than one.

This is one hell of a 9-5. Catch a baseball and try to see when a ball breaks apart.

This is what happens when athletes perform science

See how many times Eric can hit a 69Mph ball before Eric breaks.

Love the grind

Dodgeball is one of my favorites

as a guy who play baseball in a country where it's not even a sport, we have balls that have been used for years.

6900 throws, VERY NICE!

And this is the kind of stuff that hitters from back in the day had to deal with (from 1890-1960) back when they didn’t replace the ball that often

be neat to see if you can get more movement in pitches with a wore out ball like that . like differences in pitches with different levels of worn out balls

I feel sorry for Kevin

Banger. Keep it coming B.

Towards the end of that ball's lifespan, it looked like Trevor and Tosh were trying to catch Tim Wakefield knuckleballs with all the weird ways the ball was spinning.

16:40 I'm thinking that the cover on the ball flipping around is causing a distraction for your eyes, making it harder to catch. The ball isn't moving that much compared to some sliders, etc.

You should do how many fungoes on grounders would break a baseball next. Maybe grass/clay would make a difference?

Go to just about any baseball academy and you'll see buckets of baseballs in various stages of wear similar to what you had there.

the timelaps was really neat

The launcher is a lot harder on the ball than throwing by hand.

You guys should put it on the trackman and see the movement it gets

I’ve had a ball from high school ball for over a decade with well over 12,000 throws and it’s looking pretty solid still.

I was rooting for the ⚾️! I am glade it I guess won. Go Cardinals!

would love to see what kind of movement you would get pitching with a ball after every 50 times through the machine.

ngl, growing up I played with many a ball that looked like the one at the end all the iterations in between. makes me nostalgic for those days. good stuff.

I actually loved this video so much

PItching machine is extremely tough on the ball.

The smell of the hall can be described as “d-bat”

I love how they originally thought they’d be done before his date got there

I propose the worlds largest circular game of catch with like a hundred people to properly test this.

Next video, how many times does it take to hit a baseball before the cover comes off, featuring strike out king Eric Sim

69 mph 6900 throw and 69 seams broken that’s crazy

7 pitches? me and the homies used to use the same ball for months 😂 I miss the good old days

Looks like the catchers mitt has the pop out effect. Have had one in the past that the ball would pop out way too often

See how many times it takes hitting a baseball off a tee to shed the cover!
