Abstract

The present invention provides a baseball training aid that includes a ball having a core and an outer layer. The outer layer includes a pair of panels that are sewn together at its seams via stitching. The pair of panels is provided in a first color, wherein the seams and stitching are provided in a second color that contrasts with the color of the pair of panels. The seams are configured to be brightly colored to allow a user to better track the rotation and spin of a ball. Further, the stitching is also configured to be brightly colored to visually enhance the rotation and spin of the ball. In this way, the user can learn to recognize the rotation of a ball to increase the probability of hitting or catching the ball.
