Home Plates

Home Plates for Baseball and Softball Fields

Finding the right home plates for softball or home plates for baseball comes down to two things: how the plate needs to mount into your infield, and how permanent you want the installation to be. Jaypro makes all three plates in this collection, and each one is sized and shaped to Major League specifications, which is the standard used across baseball and softball diamonds from Little League up through adult rec leagues. Because every plate here comes from a single manufacturer, you're comparing mounting style and price rather than trying to match up specs across different brands.

What's in Stock

• Jaypro Home Plate - Major League (1-1/2 in. Anchor) - an anchor-mounted plate for fields that use a below-ground anchor system.
• Jaypro Home Plate - Major League (5 Zinc-Plated Spikes) - a spike-mounted plate that drives directly into dirt or clay, with corrosion-resistant zinc plating on the spikes.
• Jaypro Home Plate - Bury-All (Rubber) - a solid rubber plate designed to be buried flush with the infield for a more permanent, field-plate style setup.

Choosing Between Anchor and Spike-Mounted Plates

If your field already has an anchor sleeve installed, the 1-1/2 in. anchor version is the plate to search for — it drops into that existing hardware and locks the plate at grade, which is common at facilities that swap plates in and out between seasons or sports. The 5 zinc-plated spike version skips the anchor hardware altogether: it's driven straight into the ground, which makes it a straightforward option for rec fields, practice diamonds, or anywhere you're setting up a plate for the first time without an anchor system in the ground.

Zinc plating on the spikes is a detail worth noting if your field sees rain or sits on lower ground, since it's built to resist the rust that plain steel spikes develop over a season of use.

Bury-All Rubber Home Plate for Permanent Fields

For groundskeepers searching for a field plate or plate field solution that stays put, the Bury-All rubber plate is made to be set into the dirt so the top sits flush with the playing surface. This style suits fields where the plate rarely moves — school fields, club fields, or any diamond where you want a clean, professional look without visible hardware. Rubber construction also stands up to cleats and repeated contact at the plate better than a plate resting loosely on top of the infield.

Sizing, Materials, and Installation

All three plates in this collection are built to Major League dimensions, so they work for standard baseball and softball diamonds without needing a separate softball-specific size. The difference between them is mounting method and material:

Before ordering, check what's already in the ground at your field: an existing anchor sleeve calls for the anchor-mount plate, a bare dirt infield works with the spike-mount plate, and a from-scratch or permanent install is a good fit for the bury-all rubber plate. Since all three ship from the same Jaypro line, mixing plate styles across multiple fields at one facility is straightforward if different diamonds have different setups.

Who These Home Plates Are For

This collection suits athletic directors, groundskeepers, and league organizers replacing worn plates on baseball and softball home plates fields, as well as facilities building out a new diamond. With prices spanning $146 to $191, the range covers both a straightforward spike-mounted plate and the more permanent bury-all rubber option, so you can budget for a single replacement plate or standardize equipment across several fields at once.
