I believe my math is faulty in my first response below. The following is the workup for the estimate of total baseballs used in a Regular Season in the MLB:
2010 average pitches per team per game.....146
lifespan of a Baseball in pitches.........................7
games in the Regular Season........................162
number of teams in the league........................30
balls per team per game..................................21 = 146 ÷ 7
balls used in Reg Seas by team..................3,379 = 21 x 162
balls used in Reg Seas by all teams......101,366 = 30 x 3,379
more than anyone can count I'm sure, lol, but as a guess, I'll say around half a million if not more
It has been calculated that the average life-span of a Baseball is 7 pitches. The average pitch count in a game is 285. So a good guess is about 41 baseballs to a game. There are 162 games in a season, so almost 6,596 per team, per year. There are 30 teams, so that's approximately 197,871.43 baseballs used per season. This only accounts for regular season games.
This number does not include pre-season games, the All Star break and the post-season games, including the World Series.

How many baseballs will be used in a single MLB season?
Major League Baseball uses about 160,000 baseballs in a season. the lifespan of 1 is 7 pitches. the average baseball lasts 9 pitches. That's as close as I can come. OK. Let's say the average baseball lasts 9 pitches. Let's also say the average inning lasts 30 pitches (15 per half inning). We'll approximate the total number of pitches per game at 270. That would make 30 baseballs used per game (270 / 9). If all 30 teams played the entire 162 scheduled games in a season, that would be 2,430 games played. So for this example, that would make 72,900 baseballs used in one season.
