I'm a pitcher, nice mounds make a big difference. Not only does it make it easier to perform, but make you more comfortable as well
I wouldn't even pitch yesterday because of the mound we played on. Can easily take 89-90 and turn it into 80-81 with the added risk of injury.
Made me look up a YT video so I can learn to just fill it myself next time. Time to start stealing the good clay when I go to minor league games ;)
i remember pitching on shitty mounds in 80% of my high school games. it definitely makes a huge difference
"So what's your credentials for doing pitcher's mound construction?" "Oh, I watched a youtube video on it."
We install these all the time. Only thing I would add is to check the home plate and pitching rubber grades with a laser level to insure 10" difference. However this is probably only necessary at collegiate or pro levels. Very nice informative video!
Good advice! Thanks for the comment.
Where is your company based out of?
Great video. Succinct and easy to follow. Can't go wrong following these steps.
+Thomas Couhig - Thanks for watching and the feedback. Glad we could help!
Thomas Couhig yyhhht
why am i here i forgot
You like cactus and were researching soil conditioners like Turface MVP? That's my path lol but I really enjoyed the video. It makes me wonder what % of the public know a pitchers mound isn't just a pile of dirt. I was ignorant I admit.
Excellent video, Chris!
You guys should come out to Brooklyn and show the American Legion Fields in Canarsie how it’s done please. Would be helping close to hundreds of ball clubs considering the amount of teams that play there.
Thanks for watching Sean! We'll pass your message onto our Sports Fields team.
Edge around hill, roll with paint roller and herbicide to kill everything in the mound area. then rough up and pull extra material for clay bricks. all of this will make it so you dont have to bring more clay in for the edges/lip of the grass. removing the grass and roots by digging removes material.
My son just pitched over the weekend in new New Smyrna Florida and the mound was so bad it felt like stepping off a stairs when you don't know that is there one of my pictures actually pull the groin from the actual drop
Do you have a list of the material, including the quantities of this project?
Thanks for the question Jason! The materials list is at 2:21 in the video. The amount you will need will depend on the job but this should give you an idea. For further assistance, feel free to contact one of our branch locations if you have one in your area.

The mound at my park doesn't even face home plate. It's shifted about 2 feet to the left and about 3 degrees off
I have no idea why I have watched this 10 times
and if 2nd and home aren't level ur fluked from the start.
My OCD is saying why is the "apex" of home plate like 6 or more inches away from the actual apex of home plate! wth! some one help me with why they did that?
Good catch Omar. If you look closely you’ll see that the tape has a 6in leader on it. They moved the stake back to compensate. Thanks for watching!
Then the pitchers will dig a huge hole in front of the rubber. Never could figure out why. Same with the batters box.
e walt when I pitched I liked to have a small divot in front of the mound cause it would increase the velocity of my pitches when I would launch myself off the mound.
Nick Bemo velocity doesn’t come from launching, it comes from rotation.
Our fields need this our mound is off centered to the right and it's so annoying
When I was 13 I measured 60' 6" by starting with the front end of the pitcher's mound or in my case, the line I drew on the ground with a twig to the FRONT part of home plate and not the apex of home plate as shown here. damn. I had us all these years pitching from too far away! maybe 12 inches too far! If anything i should have made it 12 inches closer!!! since none of us threw over 65mph anyway! what a waste of 20 years.
MLB type beat
@4:53 Wearing white vans on the job eh?
hes not there to work 😂
I thought I was going to learn how to grow jalapeños.
Lol
Well now I know just in case right....?
why am i watching this
why am I here lol but nice video
when he was raking the sand at the end, it was satisfying watching it cover the mound.
Some fields don't pack down in front of the rubber with extra dirt before games making a big divot that cause pitchers toe. It is a major pet peeve of mine
This Is An Alias happened to me
I never knew you had to drop like a g bar on a pitcher's mound. Crazy
Never knew all the work to install a pitcher mount.
You guys did a heck of a job on this, nicely done.
We appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching!
i use this for my wiffle ball field.
Wiffleball Central By Alex cool!!
This is very impressive
Man I never thought that so much we'll go into a mound you're not going to see your mom like that in suburbs little leagues travel definitely not
I didnt even know that a rubber looked like that and that there’s a bunch of (not actually) bricks under the pitcher
This was really interesting for some reason
Thanks for the video!
I always slightly wondered how they ensured it was directly square
The mound at my high school teams field got about 2 inches lower over the course of our season
The field we played on was used almost every day during the baseball season. The mound and batters box had to be redone twice a season because kids would just constantly dig it out trying to get extra leverage off the rubber or in the batters box.
Makes me want to go fix our Pony mound. I love dragging and raking the field and watering and chalking the lines. It is a decent surface, but this mound looks great.
In Japan this kind of care is not maintained.
I'm tired of soft mounds
It is not as easy as I thought
I hate the people that dig craters when they pitch
ZackG32 baseball especially where there toes are *smh
nice

Sorry for the late response. Ewing carries tamp socks for various size tamps. Thanks for watching!
