It’s basically how many times a ball can go through the pitching machine. Just playing catch, a baseball would last probably 50,000+ throws and catches

Probably a million times.. a ball going through a pitching machine easily wears it out more than 100 throws. When a ball it thrown the damage would be hitting the glove.. with the pitching machine.. it’s torn up when the wheels grab it.

I like the video and I don't mean to nitpick but as others have said, the pitching machine has the most impact on the condition of the ball by a long shot. I think it would not only make for a better video but also be more comfortable for you guys producing it, had you done a small number of throws everyday(100 or less) over the span of years. It could also be a cool way to record moments of your life over the span of a few years or however long it takes. If you're up for it, I'm sure your audience would be interested.

I feel like this showed the ware n tare of a ball through a pitching machine more than from it being caught. A ball you're playing catch with at 70mph is not going to have that same ware as a ball thru a machine 500 times. I definitely don't blame you for using the machines, tho. 10k throws in a 4 hour span is definitely not good for the Ole arm. It was cool to see what it did to the gloves and how they were broken in as the experiment continued. Nice vid! Never expect anything less from the guys at momentum!! Always have entertaining vids, and you don't have to ride on the back of Trevor and Sim's trash talk back n forth. In all honesty, a channel with just those two doing random competitions would be hilarious to watch. Like just walking down the street and challenging who can get someone to honk first or do mini golf, go karts, arcade games, etc. You name it, and their competitiveness will always make for great content. I'd watch every video put out of theirs if they made it. Keep on killin it, guys! And Kevin too lol!!!!
