Cool. But when did baseballs become hollow?

Any chance the core could have fallen out? I’ve never actually sliced a baseball in half so I have no idea

Really cool and I suspect the fastball was a tennis ball not a baseball.

Pitching machine baseballs are not real baseballs. They are a lot better at holding their shape.

A real MLB ball will actually get non-round very quickly after being hit only a few times.
