Baseball Queensland Strategic Plan

Baseball Queensland Constitution

Approved Baseballs

The following baseballs have been approved for use.

These balls have been deemed to meet the required standards and specifications for play and clubs are free to use any of these game balls for the 2023-2024 season.

Considering the potential for different balls to end up in play in any given game the BQ rules have been updated to include a rule requiring only one type of ball be used in any one game (Page 9 – Baseballs for use in any game must be consistent in specification, make and model). This means that if you start the game with Easton 777’s only Easton 777’s can be used for the remainder of that game.

Clubs are free to purchase and use any one of the following ball types for use in games for the 2023-2024 season:

Brand	Model #
Easton	777
Wilson	A1001FS, A1010
Rawlings	ROLB, ROLB1
Brett	BR-100 and BR-200
Mizuno	MB380
MR Pro Stock	Div 1 Senior League and older: A100R, A085R Junior League and older: A050R, A050F Senior League and younger: B030, B015
