Minor league ball moves more


No it doesn't. That's the whole reason it goes farther. The seams are .5mm lower which means less drag which means 20 feet more distance and 20% less movement on breaking balls.

I'll take the word of dudes that have actually thrown both balls in games at a high level over someone on this board.....no offense.

I'm sure some damn smart people came up with those numbers....and I'm sure there is some physics to back that up....but it doesn't make good common sense.

Like I said I'll take the word of guys that have thrown both balls in games.
