Hundreds and even thousands of bats are used in an MLB Season. One reason for that is because of broken bats. But another reason for that is because a lot of professional hitters are very superstitious players. They will use a bat once and depending on what happens, they may never use it again.
It varies from season to season.
the lifespan of 1 is 7 pitches.
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.....146lifespan of a Baseball in pitches.........................7games in the Regular Season........................162number of teams in the league........................30balls per team per game..................................21 = 146 ÷ 7balls used in Reg Seas by team..................3,379 = 21 x 162balls used in Reg Seas by all teams......101,366 = 30 x 3,379more than anyone can count I'm sure, lol, but as a guess, I'll say around half a million if not moreIt 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.

No, the baseballs for the final season at Yankee Stadium are not specially coded. BPL

Normally between 60-70. The home team is required to have 90 on hand for each game.
Official league balls are used in all major league games, regular season and playoffs. Baseballs used in the playoffs and World Series have special imprints on them to designate the event(s).
No baseballs are wasted. As for the average lifespan, in MLB, the average baseball lasts around 9 pitches due to foulballs, scuffs, homeruns etc..

Official Rawlings World Series and All-Star BaseballsRawlings started making the official World Series game baseballs in 1978 that have an Official World Series logo printed on the ball. Before 1978 official regular season American baseballs were used when playing in the AL ballpark, and Official National League baseballs were used while playing in the NL ballpark. Rawlings started to make All-Star baseballs in 1979 that featured the All-Star logo.
