Inning After Inning, Rawlings Baseballs With EIT Last Longer

Baseballs have remained relatively unchanged in the past 35 years, but that doesn’t mean Rawlings hasn’t found ways to make them better over time.

Rawlings has patented what it calls Extra Innings Technology, or EIT.

EIT makes baseballs more durable so they’ll last longer and perform more consistently over their lifetime.

An EIT baseball is made with a thin polymer layer just under the cover of the ball that resists the damaging effects of moisture. The layer keeps the ball firm and, in turn, more durable.

Rawlings baseballs with EIT maintain more of their liveliness and gain less weight in humid conditions. A 0.2-ounce difference in the weight of the ball may not seem like much, but it can stop a home run just short of the fence.

It’s just one more reason why Rawlings baseballs continue to be used at the highest levels of play, including Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, the NCAA College World Series, the NJCAA and NAIA championships and countless high school and youth leagues.

Visit RawlingsGear.com or contact a Rawlings Gear Customer Care representative at (866) 678-GEAR(4327) to purchase your Rawlings baseballs individually or by the dozen.
