Franklin Sports Home Plate - Baseball + Softball Rubber Home Plate - Portable Throw Down Base for Backyard Baseball, Softball, + Tee Ball

Heavy, quality rubber plate. Not going to be sliding around like other flimsy mats.

Overall this plate is great for practice. Our 7U team splits into groups and this goes to the outfield. It stays down during the winds, and gives our boys something to square up with during improvised batting practices.

I have purchased 2 of these now. The first one I ordered is now 3 years old and it is still in good shape. It stays in our outdoor batting cage 365 days a year. I have had some other throw down bases that are long disintegrated by the sun but these seem to last longer than anything else I've found.

We had used the cheap, light weight rubbery bases for a while. They faded, tore and eventually fell to pieces (and one was carried off by a neighbor’s dog. This is a good weight and is very functional!

This is my second purchase. The first plate lasted 4 years of weekly use. I would definitely recommend.

Good and cheap practice home plate. Heavy enough not to get blown around by the wind. Cheap enough to not worry about it. Plenty durable.

The photo on the listing shows a white blank plate. However, it has the MLB logo and brand name embossed in large letters along the top. I found this slightly annoying because it was supposed to be a personalized gift to the coaches of our kid’s team. The embossment stands out like a sore thumb. Aside from that, the base is heavy and seems well made. It would probably work well if it were used as intended.

The home plate is very good quality. It has been used and outside for months and is still in great shape. The plate is a thick rubber material and doesn't move easily. Great buy overall.
