We've been having a bit of baseball batting practice here at Toys.About.Com World Headquarters. Several new and unique bat-and-ball sets just hit the market. Check them out!
Junk Ball-and-Bat Set
The Junk Ball from Little Kids (Compare Prices) is an innovative twist on the traditional wiffle ball. The pitcher turns the unique dial on the ball to adjust the airflow and throw sliders, curve balls and knuckle balls. The bat is designed with a sweet spot that practically ensures a base hit. My neighborhood testers all have Junk Balls and love playing with them because they make pitching easy for kids.
Nerf Curve Pitch Baseball Set
Nerf just shipped this new Curve Pitch Baseball Set (Compare Prices) with a specially designed bat and ball. The bat has the rubbery grip you'd expect from Nerf and the ball has a special felt patch that gives the ball extra drag and makes special pitches easy.
Sky Ball-and-Bat Set
The Sky Ball from Maui Toys (Compare Prices) bounces 75 feet! Its unique design is molded in one piece with the air already inside and trust me, it goes like crazy! My testers bounced it right over a two-story house with little effort. The Sky Ball that comes with the baseball bat set is smaller than a standard Sky Ball and the kids can whack it a mile!
All of these new baseball toys are fun outdoor toys that get kids moving!
