How Baseballs Are Actually Made

Every MLB season burns through 600,000 baseballs. Every single one is still sewn by hand — 108 stitches, one at a time. Inside a baseball you'll find cork from Portugal, rubber from Southeast Asia, wool from New Zealand, and cowhide from Pennsylvania dairy farms. No machine has ever been able to replicate the hand-stitching process. This is how baseballs are actually made. THE PROCESS reveals how everyday things are actually made. New videos every day. 📌 CHAPTERS 0:00 The ball you never look at twice 0:55 From cork to "pill" 2:30 340 meters of wool yarn 5:04 108 stitches by hand 5:53 The COR test: fired from an air cannon 6:35 Why machines still can't do it 7:39 Trust the process #baseball #howitsmade #handmade #mlb #theprocess
