Portable Pitching Mounds
For a pitcher to improve their game, they need as many high-quality reps as possible. Whether it’s loosening up the arm before a practice session or game, perfecting your pitches in practice, or striking out a batter during a game, a portable pitching mound delivers an excellent surface for pitchers.
A portable practice mound can transform any field or gym into a pitching practice opportunity in an instant.
Our portable game mounds are easy to set up and can be used to transform a field to be suitable for various age groups.
With one of our portable mounds, you can be sure that you’re getting a durable product that gives your pitcher’s a safe way to pitch.
We’ll take a look at the three types of portable mounds: portable practice mounds, pitching platforms, and portable game mounds. All have different use cases, and we’ll make recommendations in each category.
Portable Practice Mounds
If you landed on this page, you’re likely looking to buy one of three things, a portable practice mound, a pitching platform, or a portable game mound.
A portable practice mound is most often used in an indoor gym or batting cage. They’re designed for practice use and cannot be used in a game. The most important feature is the non-slip non-scratching technology on the bottom of the mound that protects the gym floor.
With a portable practice mound, your pitchers can get practice no matter the weather or field availability.
One of our top indoor portable practice mounds is the Professional 10" Portable Pitching Mound. It won’t scratch your gym floor, and it can be easily transported and stored.
Some portable practice mounds can also be used outdoors like the 6" Practice Pitching Mound With Clay Turf. This is a great option if you want a portable practice mound that can be used both indoors and outdoors. The 10" 2 Piece Portable Bullpen Practice Pitching Mound by Portolite is also a top mound that can be used indoors and out.
Pitching Platforms
Next, pitching platforms are for use outdoors and go over the mound to protect it during batting practice. This equipment often does not attempt to simulate the feel of a real pitching mound.
Therefore, it’s not suggested to use these for pitching practice, instead they should be used during batting practice.
The Pitch Pro 504 Bullpen Batting Practice Platform will both protect your grass and also have little impact on the surrounding grass.
Portable Game Mounds
Finally, portable game mounds are the most purchased type of portable mound. Typically, they are only used during games to protect the integrity of the mound and will need to meet whatever league requirements apply. This means fields will often have multiple portable game mounds to be used with different age groups and skill levels.
Our most popular portable game mounds are from Portolite. Both their 6” and 8” Youth Pitching Mound for Little League are top sellers and for good reason.
Portolite constructs their pitching mounds with durable fiberglass and layered Astroturf on top. This gives your players a safe and sturdy playing surface to pitch from. With a high-quality mound, pitchers are also more likely to improve their game over the years.
If you need something a bit bigger, you can also go with the 10" Portable Youth Game Pitching Mound. Like other Portolite portable mounds, it’s cushioned and reduces knee and ankle strain, a feature that is extremely important for young players.
With all that said, you can be sure that our range of products here offers a safe way for pitchers to take the mound.
