In Major League Baseball (MLB), the league itself generally covers the cost of baseballs used during games. Each team is provided with a supply of baseballs from the official supplier, Rawlings. The teams manage the inventory and ensure that they have enough baseballs for practices and games. Ultimately, the costs are absorbed by the league as part of its overall operational expenses.
Rawlings has the MLB contract to produce their baseballs. Their manufacturing takes place in Costa Rica and the balls are stitched by hand by factory workers.
In a way baseballs are recycled in the MLB because when a baseball gets dirt on it the umpire throws it to the bat boy who places it in a bucket of baseballs which are going to be used for next games batting practice.
