Looks very nice.  Unfortunately, you have done a good job on softball seams.
Baseball (hardball) seams do not project out of the surface of the ball.
They also are sewed in a fashion so there are no extruding lumps between
threads.  Perhaps if you could turn your softball seams inside out you might
get a better fit with a hardball.
