Infield Maintenance Equipment

Infield Maintenance Equipment for Baseball and Softball Fields

This collection is built around one brand, Jaypro, and 16 active products that cover the day-to-day tasks of keeping a skinned infield playable: grooming loose dirt, breaking up compacted soil, marking batter's boxes, and repairing base areas. Whether you manage a single Little League field or maintain several softball diamonds, the tools here span $18 dirt tamps up through the $664 Monster Drag Broom, so budget and field size both factor into what you pick. Because every item is made by the same manufacturer, sizing and fit between rakes, brooms, and templates stay consistent across a full toolkit.

Drag Brooms and Rakes for Everyday Infield Grooming

For routine grooming, Jaypro offers the Monster Drag Broom and the Double Play Monster Drag Broom, both designed to smooth loose infield dirt and sweep away debris for a clean, finished skin. Before dragging, many crews use the Double Play Scarifier Broom or a Double Play Rake (24 in.) to break up compacted soil and lift material that a drag broom alone won't move. Field Rakes in 36 in. and 48 in. widths give you a choice between tighter infield corners and faster coverage on larger skinned areas. A typical maintenance pass works in stages: rake or scarify first to loosen the surface, then drag broom to level and finish, repeating as often as your field sees play.

Batter's Box Templates for Consistent Layouts

Marking a batter's box by hand invites inconsistency between games, which is where Jaypro's batter's box templates come in. The collection includes a Little League template (3 ft. x 6 ft.), an Official template (4 ft. x 6 ft.), a Softball template (3 ft. x 7 ft.), and an Adjustable template for fields that need to switch between league specifications. Matching the template to your league's rulebook keeps layouts repeatable from game to game and speeds up field prep before first pitch, especially at facilities that host multiple age groups or both baseball and softball on the same infield.

Base Tools, Dirt Tamps and Repair Equipment

Base areas and infield edges take the most wear, and this collection has dedicated tools for both. The Base Plug (Big League Series) and Base Dig-Out Tool handle base removal and socket upkeep, while the Base Runner Rake is sized specifically for smoothing the dirt around base paths after sliding and running wear it down. Dirt Tamps come in 8 in. x 8 in. and 10 in. x 10 in. sizes for compacting loose fill after repairs, and the Sifting Shovel lets you screen out rocks and debris before adding new infield mix. Used together, these tools address the low spots, lips, and loose material that build up around bases and along grass edges over a season.

Choosing the Right Infield Groomer for Your Field

With every product coming from Jaypro, choosing gear mostly comes down to field size, frequency of use, and which parts of the infield need the most attention. A single field maintained a few times a week can usually get by with one drag broom, a field rake, and a batter's box template sized to its league. Programs running multiple diamonds or hosting both baseball and softball benefit from adding a scarifier broom, base tools, and dirt tamps to handle heavier wear and more frequent repairs. Because prices in this collection span from $18 hand tools to a $664 drag broom, it's straightforward to start with the basics and add specialized pieces as your maintenance routine grows.
