How many stitches are on a regulation baseball?

A regulation baseball has 108 double stitches. The stitches are sewn by hand using red or white waxed thread. The stitching pattern is designed to create a durable and consistent ball that will not come apart during play. The stitches also help to create the ball's grip and control.
