Description

These MacGregor breakaway bases are shock-absorbing, one-piece molded rubber bases designed to reduce sliding injuries on the baseball and softball diamond. Sold as a set of three, these breakaway bases cover first, second, and third base positions and feature a cushioned design that absorbs impact when runners slide in at full speed.

Specifications:

• Set includes: 3 bases (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
• Material: One-piece molded rubber
• Design: Shock-absorbing cushioned construction
• Mounting: Removable center post for easy installation and removal
• Durability: Rust-resistant for outdoor use
• Brand: MacGregor

The one-piece molded rubber construction on these breakaway bases holds up to repeated cleat contact without cracking or deforming. The cushioned interior absorbs the force of a sliding runner, reducing the risk of ankle, knee, and hand injuries that are common with rigid base designs. This makes them a practical choice for youth leagues, recreation programs, and school teams where player safety during base running is a priority.

Each base mounts on a removable center post, making installation and removal straightforward for groundskeepers and coaches who need to set up or break down fields quickly. The rust-resistant materials hold up through seasons of outdoor exposure on both natural grass and skinned infields.
