VELO by The Bullpen Training baseball pick-up tool pack — 2 rubber sleeve pickers for 3" perforated PVC, protects seams

VELOBall is a two-tool baseball and softball pick-up system: rubber gripping sleeves that attach to a 3" x 10' perforated PVC pipe (PVC not included) so you can collect balls without bending.

If you spend time shagging fly balls, running batting practice, or cleaning up a field, VELOBall streamlines the task. The pair of durable rubber sleeves slip over the end of industry-standard 3" perforated sewer & drain PVC so you can scoop and retain baseballs and softballs, then tip the pipe to release them into your bucket or bag. Built to protect ball surfaces and withstand repeated use, these tools reduce back strain and speed up practice turnover.

How do I use these VELOBall tools during practice?

Using VELOBall is designed to be simple and fast. Slide a tool onto the end of a 3" x 10' perforated PVC pipe, press the rubber sleeve over each ball to pick it up, and carry the loaded pipe until you're ready to empty. When finished, tip the open end over a bucket or bag and let the balls fall free.

• Attach to 3" x 10' perforated PVC (pipe sold separately).
• Scoop balls by pushing sleeve onto each ball—no bending required.
• Tip pipe to empty directly into your bucket or gear bag.

Will VELOBall damage my baseballs or softballs?

The VELOBall sleeves are made from high-quality rubber specifically to avoid scuffs and scratches. Unlike metal- or plastic-toothed pickers, the smooth rubber surface gently holds the ball so the leather or composite cover remains intact. That makes it a safe option for practice balls you want to keep in good condition.

• Soft rubber sleeve protects ball seams and surface.
• No biting teeth or metal edges to gouge covers.
• Durable material resists tearing during routine use.

What setup and maintenance does the VELOBall require?

Setup is minimal: purchase a 3" x 10' S/D perforated PVC pipe, cut to preferred length if desired, and slide a VELOBall sleeve onto each end. For longevity, rinse off dirt and drying mud after use and inspect the rubber for wear. Replacing a sleeve is straightforward and inexpensive if it becomes worn after frequent use.

• Requires 3" x 10' perforated PVC pipe (not included).
• Optional: cut pipe in half for two shorter tools—one sleeve per end.
• Clean with water and mild soap; check for tears periodically.

Who is this for: VELOBall is ideal for coaches, trainers, parents, and players who collect large numbers of balls during practices, lessons, or batting cages. It’s especially useful for team staff managing daily training sessions, volunteer coaches looking to save time and back strain, and anyone who prefers to protect their practice balls from scuffs. Sold as a two-tool pack by VELO by The Bullpen Training, the set lets you outfit both ends of a pipe or create two compact pick-up tools when the pipe is cut in half.
