Infield Protection Screens

Infield Protection Screens for Baseball and Softball Programs

Infield protection is one of the most overlooked safety gaps at practice facilities, and it's the reason coaches and equipment managers search for baseball field screens in the first place. A batted or thrown ball during fungo drills, infield/outfield work, or pre-game batting practice can travel fast enough to injure anyone standing behind the plate or near the mound. Our collection focuses on one job: stopping that ball before it reaches a coach, pitcher, or player who isn't in the play. All three screens in this collection come from Jaypro's Big League Series, so buyers comparing infield protectors across sizes are looking at the same build quality and the same brand, just different footprints and portability.

Comparing the Three Fungo Screen Sizes

Picking the right size comes down to how much coverage you need and how many people you're protecting at once. The 8 ft. x 8 ft. Fungo Screen is the entry point of the lineup at $1,155, sized for a single coach or fungo hitter who needs a compact screen that's easy to move between stations. The 10 ft. x 10 ft. Fungo Screen steps up the coverage area for programs running multiple drills or wanting a wider protected zone during batting practice. The Fungo Screen with Wings, at the top of the price span ($2,550), adds side panels to the main frame — useful for facilities that need protection from balls coming in at an angle, not just straight on, such as busy cage areas or shared infield/outfield practice space.

Portable, Frame-Based Construction

All three protective field screens in this collection share the same basic design: a freestanding frame with netting that stops batted or thrown balls, rather than a fixed backstop or permanent structure. That frame-and-net format is what makes these screens practical for programs that move equipment between a batting cage, bullpen, and open infield throughout a single practice. Because they're not bolted down, staff can reposition a screen as drills change stations without needing separate equipment for each setup. If your facility runs several simultaneous stations, having more than one size on hand — say an 8 ft. x 8 ft. for the bullpen and a 10 ft. x 10 ft. or winged model for the main infield — lets you match protection to the specific drill happening at each spot.

Who Uses Jaypro Fungo Screens

These infield protection screens are built for the people standing closest to live batting practice: fungo hitters, pitching coaches throwing BP, and infield instructors working ground balls. High school and college baseball and softball programs are the most common buyers, since they run daily practice sessions where a coach or player is regularly positioned in the path of a batted ball. Facility managers overseeing shared batting cages or multi-team practice fields also use these screens to standardize protection across different coaching staffs, since all three sizes are compatible with the same Big League Series line and can be mixed and matched as budget allows.

What This Collection Does Not Cover

It's worth being direct about scope: this collection is limited to Jaypro fungo screens for baseball and softball infield use. We do not currently carry automated rolling field tarps, soccer field cover tarps, or scoreboard protective enclosures — if you're searching for large-scale automated tarp systems for a stadium or turf field, that's a different equipment category than what's stocked here. What you will find is straightforward, portable ball-stopping protection sized for practice fields and cages, priced between $1,155 and $2,550 depending on size and configuration.
