Actually, many meteors that we see entering the atmosphere are much larger than baseballs. While camping, I've routinely seen "fireballs" caused by these larger chunks.

A meteoroid (/ˈmiːtiərɔɪd/ MEE-tee-ə-royd)[1] is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids are distinguished as objects significantly smaller than asteroids, ranging in size from grains to objects up to a meter wide.

I’ve seen two bolides, what they call fireballs, but it’s very rare. They usually make the news if they’re seen in populated areas. One of those I saw during the day, but it was away from major cities and I don’t think anyone else was looking at the sky at the time, because there was nothing in the news about it.
