Using an average life span of a Baseball in a typical game as 6 pitches and the average number of pitches being 275 per game. The number of balls used is 46. Factoring this number out to each team in the league playing 165 games and dividing by 2 since two teams play each other each game, the number of baseballs used during a typical MLB season would about 113,850 balls per year.
According to MLB, between five and six dozen are used per game (60-70 balls).
The home team has to have 90 new baseballs on hand for each game. That doesn't mean they'll use them all, but they must have them, just in case.
The average life of the ball is 6 pitches. "According to Ensley, every major league game begins with six dozen balls. He goes on to explain that the average life of a ball is six pitches. Since most major league games average between 250 and 300 pitches, that would put the ball count at about 40 or 50 balls used per game".
According to the MLB: "It says between five and six dozen baseballs are used during each baseball game, as many as 72 balls."
Each ball costs about $3-dollars, so that works out to $216-dollars worth of balls for each baseball game.

How many baseballs are used in a season?
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.
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.

Do home plate umpires still rub baseballs before games how many and with what?
There was an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discover Chanel about this. It is not the umpire that does it. It is a person that works for the home team of any given game. It is a very particular type of natural mud but i do not remember where it comes from. I have heard they prepare about 60 balls per game.

How many baseballs are used in a season of Major League Baseball?
The number is actually, as of 2005, over 35,000 baseballs per MLB team, on the low end. Of course this depends on the team itself and it can vary with each team and stadium. Since over 2 million baseballs are now produced annually by Rawlings for the Majors and retail, that number could be closer to 55,000 this season.This number includes Spring Training balls, batting practice balls and game balls, and it comes from a very reliable source, a team equipment manager (see article in links).Update - OK I don't see the links section, it was printed in an article about the Pirates in 2005.AnswerHere are the numbersTotal MLB Teamd: 30 Games(regular season 162 Balls (avg per game) 40That gives you a total of 194400 baseballs used in a regular seasonAnsweryou've to divide that by 2.
