Breaking news! New 2025 Rawlings MLB baseballs incoming! This list is incomplete and shall be considered a work in progress throughout the season. It’s the 2025 MLB Game Ball Live Tracker and OfficialGameBalls.com 2025 Wishlist! What does that mean? It means we’ll include special baseballs that have already been used in games, plus future MLB regular season games / events / exhibitions where balls have already been confirmed, along with unconfirmed opportunities that could feature a specially stamped commemorative ball—speculative baseballs—mostly a lot of wishful thinking.
UPDATED APRIL 1st: (no April Foolsing, I promise!) This is shaping up to be a big season for official game ball collectors! We now can publicly announce more than one and a half dozen event baseballs below, and some other interesting developments which are starting to unfold, if you’re willing to scroll through the full article. We’ve highlighted additional games and events that are likely to feature an official commemorative logo on-field game ball—for actual gameplay. The rest of the oddballs on this list… well we would at least hope they’ve been considered, however farfetched some may seem. If nothing else, we’re trying to plant seeds for future opportunities.
Just like our 2024 edition, this post will be updated continuously throughout the season. Will 2025 exceed last season’s incredible 32 official ROMLB special event logo on-field and promotional baseballs? Check back in the coming months to find out! (Can confirm: yes it will 😮)

(FYI: The MLB logos throughout this post are just for reference. Neither spring training logo was used on any official baseball. The Bristol Speedway and Little League Classic matchups have not been confirmed – both remain a wait and see. As for the three pre-eminent legends, Jackie, Lou and Roberto—nothing is imminent; it’s highly unlikely there will be anything more than a charitable promotional ball for the latter two.)
Purely Speculation and Wishful Thinking:

- 2025 Rawlings MLB Rivalry Weekend Games Baseballs May 16–18 (Uncertain, and unlikely)
- 2025 Rawlings MLB Lou Gehrig Day #4 June 2nd (Charity & MLB Auctions Only) (MLB should use this, or these, or these?)
- 2025 Rawlings MLB “Play Ball” 10th Anniversary, PLAY BALL Weekend June 14th–16th (Unlikely)
- 2025 Rawlings MLB Father’s Day Baseball Light Blue Stitching & Stamps June 15th (Nope. But they were amazing!)

- 2025 Rawlings MLB Roberto Clemente Day & Clemente Award #21 September 15 (Doubtful, but 2024 Clemente Award Promo Game Balls were made!)

Thank you to Chris Creamer and his awesome SportsLogos.net for making the full-size, non-watermarked 2025 MLB All-Star Game and MLB Opening Day 2025 logos available for use! Too bad neither will make it into game play on official MLB balls. (Good time to remind everyone: None of the commemorative logos in this post are confirmed for use on baseballs in any fashion; most will not be featured on ROMLB game balls, unfortunately. And all logos are credited and belong to their rightful owners.)
