Rawlings make Official Major League Baseballs
There are many manufacturers, but Rawlings is the only company that currently makes the Official baseball for Major League Baseball.
Spalding along with the Reach label was producing Major league baseball for about 100 years until Rawlingstook over in 1977, and Rawlings have been making major league baseballs ever since.

Rawlings, founded in 1887, has had an exclusive contract to supply the major leagues with baseballs since 1977. The Costa Rica plant makes about 2.2 million balls a year and sells about 1.8 million of them to the majors.

All baseballs for official game use from Little League to the Major Leagues are the same. They are the same diameter, weight and materials. The differences are largely manufacturing differences. An official Major League Baseball goes through a more rigorous quality control process before it is accepted than a Little League ball. You will see flaws like wrinkles in the leather, stitching that is not uniform is higher (even within the same lot of balls) or flat spots on the ball often in Little League or Babe Ruth League balls that you would be hard pressed to find on a Official Minor or Major League Baseball. There are certain youth Little Leagues that will use a reduced injury ball that has a core that makes it somewhat spongy and this would be the only exception. Bottom line is all real baseballs are the same.
