Problem
Playing catch or practicing baseball and softball is typically limited by daylight, restricting opportunities for training and recreation during evening hours or in low-light environments. This limits the ability to improve skills and enjoy the sport at any time.
Solution
Spark Catch provides baseballs and softballs with integrated, high-output LED lighting, enabling players to continue training and recreational play in low-light conditions. Available in baseball and softball sizes, the products are designed with durable materials and regulation dimensions to maintain a consistent feel. The baseballs are crafted with genuine leather and handmade stitches, while the softballs maintain official 12" sizing. Both the baseballs and softballs are impact tested to ensure durability and safety. The products are available with either impact-activated lighting or an on/off switch for ease of use.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes baseball and softball players of all ages, coaches, and families seeking to extend playtime into the evening hours or practice in dimly lit areas.
