  • Schutt In-Ground 3″ Home Plate: Schutt centerpieces are the preferred choice of many coaches.Here are some important reasons why:
    • Enhanced tensile strength and tear resistance provide years of service, irrespective of whether players’ cleats have rubber or metal spikes.
    • Modular design allows easy replacement of worn-out parts
    • Designed without corners and edges to avoid catching spikes as well as a skid-free rubber surface, they offer enhanced player safety 
    • The waffle bottom buries into the ground for longer life
  • Hollywood MLB Pro Style Home Plate: If your budget is tight, this is a cost-effective option. One of our most-sold bases, it is suitable for temporary or portable installation and has molded rubber construction for maximum strength. The base is 11/2 inch thick plus it includes a 7” stanchion, 5 zinc plated spikes, 1 anchor and 1 plug.
  • In-Ground 3″ Wood Home Plate: The cherry hardwood bottom and rubber cover offer the best of both materials. Solid wood construction enhances durability while the UV-treated rubber shell cushions feet.
  • Waffle Throw Down Home Plate: Many of our customers also purchase 3” thick home plates with the “waffle bottom”.  They fill in the waffle bottom with clay in order to create a heavier base which is more likely to stay in place once it is installed.

 

With installation and durability being the main priorities, you want bases that are easy to set up, safe to step on with cleats and long-lasting. At Richardson Athletics, we have a full range of home plates, pitching rubbers, base accessories and other baseball equipment to meet your needs. For customers with a smaller budget, we offer several other varieties of wood and rubber plates. Parents, coaches and facility managers rely on us for quality sporting gear that delivers the best value.
