Baseball Field Covers & Mound Protection at JoySportStore

When groundskeepers, coaches, and league volunteers search for baseball field covers, they're usually trying to solve one problem: keeping a specific high-traffic spot dry and playable after rain. JoySportStore's current field cover selection focuses on exactly that need with the Jaypro Baseball Rain Cover with Ground Stakes. This is a round cover made from 18 oz. UV-treated vinyl, a material weight commonly used in mound and plate covers because it resists sun degradation over a season of outdoor storage and use while still being light enough for one person to pull over a mound and stake down before a rain delay. Rather than a full-field tarp that spans an entire infield, this cover is sized and shaped to protect a single circular area — making it a practical, low-cost solution for youth leagues, rec-league fields, and backyard or practice mounds where a full infield tarp system isn't in the budget.

Pitching Mound Tarps and Infield Tarps for Softball

Searches for pitching mound tarps, infield tarps for softball, and softball infield tarps all point to the same core use case: protecting the dirt and clay around the mound and plate from washing out. The round shape of the Jaypro rain cover works for both baseball and softball diamonds, since the mound and home plate circle on either type of field are the areas most vulnerable to standing water and cleat damage after a storm. Staking the cover down over the mound before rain hits helps keep the clay surface intact so games and practices can resume faster once the weather clears, without regrading or re-tamping the mound area from scratch.

Material, Size & Installation

The Jaypro cover is built from 18 oz. vinyl with UV treatment, a fabric weight and finish typically chosen for durability against repeated sun exposure between uses. Ground stakes ship with the cover, so there's no need to source separate hardware — you unroll the round tarp over the mound or plate circle, drive the included stakes through the reinforced edge, and the cover is anchored against wind and rain. Because it's a single-piece, one-brand item at a $10 price point, installation is straightforward: no seams to align, no multi-panel setup, and no specialized tools beyond what's included in the package.

Who This Cover Fits

This round rain cover suits programs that need targeted, affordable field protection rather than a stadium-grade infield tarp system: youth baseball and softball leagues, school programs, park district diamonds, and home or facility mounds used for practice. If you're maintaining a single mound or plate area and want a quick way to keep it dry between innings or overnight before a game, this is the option currently stocked in our Infield Tarps & Mound Covers collection. For full-infield tarp systems covering the entire dirt or grass surface, this particular product isn't sized for that job — it's built specifically for the round, high-wear zones around the mound and plate.

Building Out Your Field Protection Kit

Because JoySportStore's infield tarp and mound cover lineup currently centers on this one Jaypro rain cover, it works well as a starting piece for teams building a basic field-maintenance kit. Pair it with your existing rakes, tamps, and drag mats, and use it as the go-to cover whenever rain is forecast before a scheduled game. At $10, it's a low-risk way to add a dedicated mound or plate cover to your equipment shed without the cost or storage demands of a full infield tarp.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an infield tarp cost?

In our Infield Tarps & Mound Covers collection, the Jaypro Baseball Rain Cover with Ground Stakes is priced at $10. It's a round, 18 oz. UV-treated vinyl cover sized for a mound or plate area rather than a full infield, which keeps the cost low compared to full-field tarp systems.

Why do they put tarps on baseball fields?

Tarps and covers protect key dirt areas — especially the pitcher's mound and home plate circle — from rain that can turn clay into mud, wash out the surface, or create unsafe footing. Covering these spots before or during rain helps fields dry faster and stay playable, reducing delays and maintenance work afterward.

How to get rid of infield lips?

Infield lips form where dirt builds up against the grass edge over repeated play and mowing. Groundskeepers typically remove them with an edging tool or infield lip remover, cutting and pulling back the built-up material, then leveling and tamping the exposed edge so water drains properly instead of pooling.

How heavy is a baseball field tarp?

Tarp weight depends on material and size; our Jaypro rain cover uses 18 oz. UV-treated vinyl, a common fabric weight for mound and plate covers that balances durability with manageable handling for one person to stake down. Full-size infield tarps in heavier materials or larger dimensions will weigh considerably more.

What comes with the Jaypro rain cover?

The Jaypro Baseball Rain Cover ships with ground stakes included, so you can anchor the round vinyl cover directly over a mound or plate area without buying separate hardware. It's a single, ready-to-use item — no additional parts or assembly are needed before staking it down.

Is this cover suitable for softball fields as well as baseball?

Yes, the round shape is designed to fit mound and plate circle areas found on both baseball and softball diamonds. Since it protects a defined circular zone rather than an entire infield, it works the same way regardless of which sport's field it's covering.
