MLB’s Baseball Factory in Costa Rica Matters More Than You Think Apr 17, 2025

Show notes

Today’s podcast breaks down everything that goes into the manufacturing, production and game preparation of the baseballs used in Major League Baseball (MLB). I review the production process used by MLB and Rawlings, the baseball manufacturer the league purchased back in 2018 to gain more control over the creation of its game balls. I then look at the controversies that have surrounded the game balls used in MLB since the Rawlings purchase in 2018, including the debate of “juiced” and “dead” balls. I also do a step-by-step look at how baseballs are prepared for game days, including why the balls are placed in a humidor and rubbed with a special “magic mud” before each game. Enjoy!
