Champro 12” Fastpitch Softball CSB98  

The Champro 12" Fastpitch Softball (CSB98) is a premium leather practice softball built for fastpitch and slowpitch programs, coaches, and players who need a high-visibility, game-realistic 12-inch training ball with consistent .47 COR and 375 compression performance for high-tempo drill work, batting practice rotations, and fielding repetitions. The optic yellow leather cover delivers natural grip texture and game-day visibility, the solid polyurethane core maintains consistent compression and feel across the full dozen, and the raised red seams provide the realistic pitch grip and seam feel that softball skill development demands through every practice repetition. Sold by the dozen at SPC Sports.

The optic yellow leather cover is the premium material choice of the CSB98 -- leather delivers the natural grip texture, seam feel, and surface character that competitive fastpitch and slowpitch players need to develop and maintain their throwing mechanics, pitch grips, and fielding habits during practice, ensuring that the muscle memory and mechanics built during training with the CSB98 translate directly to game performance when competing with a standard leather game ball.

The .47 COR and 375 compression specifications deliver game-realistic performance during batting practice and pitching drill sessions -- the .47 COR provides the controlled rebound coefficient consistent with competitive 12-inch fastpitch performance standards, while the 375 compression provides a firm, consistent feel across every ball in the dozen for reliable batting practice performance and consistent flight behavior that keeps hitters building accurate timing and swing path habits during practice.

The solid polyurethane core maintains consistent shape, weight distribution, and compression feel through the high-volume repetitions of batting tee work, pitching machine sessions, fielding drill rotations, and bullpen sessions across a full practice season -- ensuring that every ball in the dozen performs the same way whether it is the first rep or the hundredth rep of a demanding practice session.

Raised red seams provide fastpitch pitchers, fielders, and slowpitch players with the realistic seam grip reference points they need during practice to maintain the same grip habits, throwing mechanics, and fielding patterns that they will rely on during game situations -- building consistent muscle memory through every practice rep that transfers directly to the field during competition.

The high-visibility optic yellow color maximizes visual tracking for batters and fielders during high-tempo drill work, making the ball easier to read from the pitcher's release through the full flight path to the contact zone -- keeping hitters locked in on ball tracking and fielders locked in on route reads during the most intensive phases of practice.

The 12-inch size is the standard adult softball dimension for both competitive fastpitch and slowpitch programs, making the CSB98 a versatile practice ball for high school, college, adult fastpitch, and slowpitch recreational programs who want a premium leather training ball for daily drill work without the certification cost of a dedicated game ball.

Sold by the dozen, the CSB98 provides a full 12-inch softball practice rotation of premium leather training softballs for pitching drill sessions, batting tee work, fielding repetitions, and high-tempo practice cycles in a single purchase.

This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.

FAQ

What is the difference between the CSB98 and the CSB12 ASA/USA certified 12-inch? Both are 12-inch optic yellow leather fastpitch softballs with .47 COR, 375 compression, and raised red seams. The CSB12 carries ASA/USA Softball certification for sanctioned game play. The CSB98 is a practice ball without a specific league certification stamp, making it the right choice for batting practice, drill work, and training sessions where certification is not required.

How does the CSB98 differ from the CSB99 11-inch? Both are premium optic yellow leather practice softballs with .47 COR, 375 compression, solid polyurethane cores, and raised red seams. The CSB98 is the 12-inch version for adult fastpitch and slowpitch programs at 6.20 lbs per dozen, while the CSB99 is the 11-inch version for youth fastpitch programs at 5.44 lbs per dozen.

Can the CSB98 be used for slowpitch practice as well as fastpitch? Yes. The 12-inch size and .47 COR / 375 compression construction make the CSB98 suitable for slowpitch practice sessions alongside fastpitch -- a versatile practice ball for programs and facilities that run both fastpitch and slowpitch training from the same ball inventory.
