The Martin Sports In Ground Home Plate is an official-size baseball home plate built for fields that host real games, and it works just as well as a softball home plate. The plate sits on a 3" platform with beveled edges that sets into the ground.
An all-rubber waffle bottom grips the dirt so the plate stays put through slides and everyday play. It's easy to place and easy to maintain on high school, park, league and backyard fields.

An official baseball home plate is a five-sided slab of white rubber measuring 17 inches across the front edge that faces the pitcher. The two sides run 8.5 inches straight back, and the two back edges are 12 inches long and meet in a point behind the plate. Softball uses the same 17-inch home plate size.
Yes. Home plate is the fourth and final base a runner touches to score a run. It's also where the batter stands and where the strike zone is measured. Unlike first, second and third base, home plate sits level with the ground, which is why an in-ground home plate is the standard on game fields.
