Waffle Style In-Ground Home Plate

Description

The MacGregor waffle style in ground home plate installs flush with the playing surface for a clean, level batter’s box with no raised edges. This all-rubber plate weighs 24.2 pounds and features a waffle-pattern underside that grips the soil from below, holding the plate firmly in position through slides, foot traffic, and weather without any additional anchoring hardware. The non-skid top surface and waterproof construction make this in ground home plate a durable choice for outdoor diamonds that see year-round use.

The waffle pattern molded into the bottom of this in ground home plate creates a grid of channels that lock into the compacted dirt beneath the batter’s box. Unlike surface-mount plates that can shift or pop out of position, a flush-mount design stays embedded in the ground and only needs to be dug out if the plate ever requires replacement. The non-skid top surface provides traction for batters and catchers working in wet or dusty conditions, and the waterproof rubber body will not absorb moisture or swell over time.

This plate is a strong fit for municipal parks, recreation league fields, and school diamonds where low maintenance is a priority. For fields that prefer a surface-mount option with a ground sleeve anchor, the major league home plate is a lighter alternative at 16.5 lbs. The wood filled home plate is another surface-mount choice that uses a solid wood core for weight and stability. Browse the complete bases and plates category for all available options.
