Yes, there are cheap plastic ball chuckers out in the world that will save your delicate hands from such unpleasantness, but they aren't great for the environment, and honestly they are a pain in the bum to carry on long walks, as you can't exactly tuck them away. This British designed and made Kompact9 Ball Launcher solves both issues….
