Great plate to practice pitching!

Very good colors that stand out compared to the other models that are painted green, yellow, and red. When those fade it looks terrible. I personally only advise to use this plate when once in a while during practices and practice warm-ups/progressions and not pre-game. Use a standard “blank” plate pre-game always. I had an 8u girl step on this plate a few times (she was catching for another 8u pitcher) and I did notice that her rubber cleats did take off some of the black paint rather easily. I keep another smooth plate over this one when I travel so it hopefully prevents more scratches and I wouldn’t pack this with other equipment that can scratch/scrape paint off this.I also like the way this looks compared to the other green, yellow, red plate - everyone has that plate and everyone stares at mine like, “Ooooh, where’d you get that????” Plus the MLB logo makes it look even more “pro”.Nice, good, weight to it and it’s thick rubber so don’t expect to fold or roll this up. It’s raised about half-inch so I like that I can plop on some grass and it sticks out just enough and weight is just enough to hold it down. Seen lots of floppy plates out there but not this one.

First one we received had been damaged due to shipping - amazon (as always) came through to replace it. My daughter loves it. says she can easily see it from 40+ feet away and it has helped with her pitch locations. she can now better appreciate what ‘inside” or “outside” really means.

Nice product - as advertised

Exactly as it looks it the picture. It is a nice and sturdy product with good weight so it wont move around.

Great, but paint fades in the sun.

Perfect portable base for pitching practice

Perfect portable base for pitching practice. The striping just makes it unique enough. I don’t know if it really helps dial in my sons pitching. But they make the base fancy!

great for pitchers as it is elevated and your kid can actually see the paint. great pitching aid, however doesn’t fold into bucket like the schutt.

works

heavy-duty perfect for after-school practice. BTW….after you order, go online and read the story of John Scolinos…big fan of these.

this is a nice thick plate

this is a nice thick plate, not flimsy like other ones I have seen around. The lines are very distinct. great for practicing pitching. Just as described.
