Is a little league baseball the exact same size as a major leaguer? Because I always throw heat with LL balls, and with MLB balls, not as much.

the balls are the same size but the seams are vastly different. Major League seams are very small, and little league seams are pretty dam big

Does that effect the speed of the pitch?

The stitching material itself, or the distance between them is big? Both?

I am talking about weight, and if it affects velocity..
If it is yes, I will be disapointed.
BTW: It's a Wilson Little League ball.

From your profile, you're 13. This puts you in the LL age group. From examining both the MLB and LL baseballs, have you figured out (or guessed) why you're unable to throw faster with an MLB ball than a LL one? I figure that weight would be something you'd be able to figure out by holding both, even individually if both aren't available at the same time.
I'm unable to find the exact specs as to size, weight and stiching for the baseballs themselves. However, here's a contact site where you can call, email or fax their various regional offices:
