The Game is as Good As the Pitcher
Think it doesn’t matter what you use as a pitching plate? Think again. If your pitchers aren’t confident in their stance, they won’t throw properly, could lose balance, slip, or get hurt. To prevent this, your pitchers need a nice, flat, even, and sturdy standing plate to pitch their very best. We recommend what is namely known as a pitching rubber.
Now, we get it. Keeping your baseball or softball diamond in shape is time consuming, exhausting, and expensive. Crown Sporting Goods honors your time, energy, and wallet, which is why we offer the official 4-Way Pitcher's Rubber without the major league pricetag.
It may look bulky and complicated, but fear not! No nails, no stakes, and no tools are needed to set this up. You just need some dirt or mounting clay. Fill the hole in the rubber mount completely and bury it into the designated pitching area. After a successful game season, it'll be time to maintain the field again. Simply dig up the pitching hill and rotate the rubber as desired and bury it again. This rectangular design gives this sports essential years worth of value that you don't get come from the one-sided, stake-in alternatives.
Why You'll Love It Our pitcher's rubber meets the industry standard measurements of 24"" long by 6"" wide by 6"" tall, with a weight of 30 lbs, meaning this beefy baby won't go anywhere. No slipping, no loosening, no warping!

This product is not adequate for fields used by older age groups using steel cleats. The rubber compound is not durable and wears very rapidly from steel cleats. Our old (more expensive) plate on our high school/middle school softball field lasted 8 years under the same conditions (turning once every other year). With this plate, both front and back edges were totally worn out after only one year, making the adjacent sides unusable. We plan to turn it, use the opposite surface next season and then trash it, replacing with a better quality plate. Also, the hollow core is oversized, which makes manufacturing cheaper but results in unacceptable shrinkage bulges in the four finished surfaces during the molding process. The bulges do not affect pitching, but make it difficult to level the plate during installation. With that said, this product would probably work fine for younger players in a backyard practice area, but don't expect it to serve well in a high school, college, or public park setting.
