Glad it's not just me

I've noticed it too, and also in that other similar game that uses a smaller, white ball with a similar cover and stitching.

The cover layer is so thin that the average chain link fence that forms the average backstop or fence just cuts right through.

On average, we have been going with 5 balls for a game, 3 or 4 new, and 1-2 best used late models, and if 1 or 2 are halfway decent by the end (those good late models for the next game), it has been a good day.

Given what is being charged for a box of balls, I can understand why whomever is paying the bill is grumbling about having to provide so many, and also why they are being made with such a flimsy cover, ensuring a healthy market for the obscenely priced product.
