Softball Bases & Plates

Regulation Softball Base Sets & Home Plates

Outfit any softball field or training facility with durable bases and home plates from Cimarron Sports. Whether setting up a backyard practice area, equipping a youth league field, or stocking a commercial training complex, Cimarron's selection of softball bases and plates delivers the reliability and safety needed for consistent use season after season. Choose from throw-down practice options for easy portability or heavier-duty anchored sets built for permanent field installations. The Cimarron team is available to help identify the right base configuration for your field and program needs.

Which softball bases are right for my field?

Bases take more abuse than almost anything else on a softball field. The right choice depends on how the field actually gets used — a youth practice field, a school diamond, and a tournament complex each ask something different of the same piece of equipment.

Foam bases, offered in adult 15" x 15" x 3" and youth sizing, are the practical answer for practice fields and younger age groups: a forgiving surface with no anchoring hardware to install. Waffle Bottom Bases add grip underneath to resist shifting, and the Pro Anchor Base Set brings a competition-grade anchored setup to permanent diamonds.

At first base specifically, the Double Impact First Base and Pro Double First Base provide the orange safety half that keeps the runner's foot path separate from the fielder's — now standard across most youth and adult softball organizations.

What home plate and pitcher's rubber options are available?

Home plate options run from the In Ground Home Plate and Professional Home Plate with Anchor for permanent installation, to the Waffle Bottom Home Plate and Sav-A-Leg Home Plate for fields that need durability without a full anchor system.

Pitcher's rubbers are sized and mounted differently by level of play. The Official Pitcher's Plate and Official Step Down Pitcher's Rubber cover regulation adult play, while the Little League Pitcher's Rubber, Step Down Little League Pitcher's Rubber, and Moveable Little League Pitcher's Rubber fit youth diamonds. The Professional 4-way Pitcher's Rubber can be rotated as edges wear, multiplying its service life.

For programs starting from scratch, the Orange Home Plate, Pitcher's Plate and Base Set bundles a complete high-visibility setup in one order.

How do I anchor softball bases?

Anchoring hardware is what keeps a field safe and playable between games. Ground Anchors and the Base Anchor Plug secure bases in position, the Whisker Plug keeps dirt and debris out of an empty anchor sleeve, and the Dig Out Tool makes seasonal removal and replacement a one-person job.

Tips for choosing the right base set

Start with three questions: what level of play the field hosts, whether bases stay out permanently or get pulled between sessions, and what the ground underneath is like. Recreational and youth programs are usually well served by foam or molded bases with no anchoring. Permanent diamonds and competitive play generally justify an anchored set, and full sets that include installation tools save sourcing them separately later.
