Details
The Champro Dimple Molded Baseball Gold (CBB-57) is a soft dimple molded pitching machine baseball built to ATEC machine specifications for coaches and programs who run batting practice with ATEC pitching machines and need a machine-optimized ball with a harder polyurethane cover that feeds consistently, withstands the higher wheel pressure of ATEC systems, and tracks easily with its gold yellow high-visibility color through high-volume machine batting practice sessions. Sold by the dozen at SPC Sports.
The ATEC machine specification is the defining feature of the CBB-57 -- this ball is specifically manufactured to the harder density specification that ATEC pitching machines are designed to feed, throw, and work with most reliably, delivering the consistent grip, feeding behavior, and release characteristics that produce clean, steady repetitions through an ATEC machine without the feed issues or velocity inconsistency that using a softer-density Jugs-spec ball in an ATEC system can produce.
The harder polyurethane cover is the key construction distinction between the CBB-57 and the softer Jugs-spec CBB-58 -- the reinforced PU cover absorbs the higher wheel contact forces of ATEC machine feeding while maintaining the consistent dimple surface geometry that machine wheels require to grip and release the ball reliably, delivering maximum durability through the repetitive machine feeding and batting contact of high-volume practice sessions.
The soft dimple molded construction provides the uniform, seam-free contact surface that pitching machine wheels require for consistent feeding behavior -- the smooth, uniform dimple pattern eliminates the irregular seam contact that standard seamed baseballs can create in pitching machine wheel systems, delivering more consistent velocity and trajectory on every pitch through the machine's full speed range.
The gold yellow high-visibility color maximizes the hitter's ability to track the ball visually from the machine's release point through the full flight path to the plate, reducing visual fatigue during extended batting practice sessions and making it easier for hitters to maintain their timing and swing path focus across the longest and most repetition-intensive training sessions without losing visual lock on the ball's spin and trajectory.
At high-volume training intensity, the harder PU cover's improved durability over a standard leather or softer construction means more reps per ball across a full season of machine batting practice -- reducing the per-ball cost of high-volume machine training and keeping practice inventory stocked throughout the competitive season without constant ball replacement.
Important note: dimple molded balls are known to void the bat warranties of many major bat manufacturers. Always check your bat manufacturer's warranty policy before using dimple balls during batting practice with player-owned bats.
This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.

What is the difference between the CBB-57 and the CBB-58? Both are gold yellow soft dimple molded baseballs, but they are manufactured to different machine density specifications. The CBB-57 has a harder polyurethane cover built for ATEC machine specifications, while the CBB-58 uses a softer density construction built for Jugs machine specifications. Using the correct density ball for your specific machine delivers the most consistent feeding performance.
Can the CBB-57 be used with pitching machines other than ATEC? The hard PU dimple molded construction is compatible with any pitching machine that throws standard size baseballs, though it is specifically optimized for ATEC machine specifications and will perform best in ATEC systems.
Will dimple balls void my bat warranty? Many major bat manufacturers explicitly state that using dimple molded balls voids their bat warranty. Always check your specific bat manufacturer's warranty policy before using dimple balls with player-owned bats during batting practice.
