First Base/Fungo Protector Replacement 7′ x 7′ Slip-On Net

Description

The First Base/Fungo Protector Replacement 7′ x 7′ Slip-On Net is a direct replacement net manufactured for the Collegiate First Base/Fungo Protector Screen used during infield drills and batting practice on baseball and softball fields. This slip-on net restores full protective capability when the original netting develops holes or weakened areas from repeated ball impacts.

Specifications:

• Replacement net for the Collegiate First Base/Fungo Protector Screen
• Dimensions: 7′ wide x 7′ tall
• Slip-on design — slides over existing frame without tools
• Matches factory dimensions and fit
• Heavy-duty knotted netting rated for hard-hit baseballs and errant throws
• Net only — frame not included

First base protector screens take a unique wear pattern compared to pitcher protector screens. Instead of absorbing primarily batted balls hit back through the middle, the first base screen absorbs throws from multiple infield positions — shortstop, third base, second base — arriving from different angles and velocities. Some of these throws are off-target, hitting the net at steep angles that stress the netting differently than straight-on impacts. The combination of multi-angle impacts and high practice volume means the net can develop wear across a wider area rather than just in the center. The slip-on design allows quick net changes without tools, keeping the screen in service with minimal downtime.
