Perhaps a higher mound explains it a heck of alot better.

On a side note, some basic math. 12 dozen balls X $120 per dozen X 162 games a year X (32 teams / 2) = about 3.7 million a year for balls based on open market price.
MLB just contracts Rawlings, correct? It's not up to each team to buy balls for the year, is it?
