If the ball is open, then you cannot say that the function is bounded. For example, consider the function $f : B rightarrow mathbbR$ defined on the open ball $B$ by
$$textfor all xin B, quad f(x) = frac1$$



This function is not bounded.



If however your function is defined on a whole finite-dimensional space, then it is also defined on the closed ball which is compact. Hence it is continuous on a compact, so it is bounded on it, and a fortiori, it is bounded on the open ball.
