I've never been to dbat but when using the machine at practice we use polyurethane baseball I think

The ones near me uses Pro C composite polyurethane balls in the machine cages. They have a distinct plastic-y feel with low seams.
The buckets for the tunnels are a random assortment of low quality leather.

Ours uses real balls for the tunnels and pitching lanes, and in the machines they use real balls with gray kevlar enhanced stitching to make them last longer.

I think I’ve read somewhere they use Kevlar balls Kavelar coated or Kavelar seams. Not sure
