On average, between 96 and 120 baseballs are used in a Major League Baseball (MLB) game. This range is typical for a standard nine-inning game, with several factors necessitating frequent ball replacements during play. Balls are replaced when they are hit foul or into the stands, get scuffed or dirty, or when pitchers request new balls for a better feel. This high turnover ensures the quality and fairness of the game.
