Why wool is preferred over other yarn ? Wool is selected for the baseball's inner windings. It is because of its natural resiliency and "memory" which allows it to be compressed when pressure is applied. Quickly it return to its original shape. Despite being hit repeatedly during a game it retain its perfect roundness. Outer winding : A polyester/cotton blend providing outer winding add strength and decrease the risk of wear & tear when the ball's cowhide cover is applied.
