Wood-Filled Home Plate

Description

The MacGregor wood filled home plate is a heavyweight plate built for permanent installation on baseball and softball diamonds. Filled with solid wood and finished with a bright white top surface, it delivers the mass and stability needed to stay flat in the batter’s box under heavy foot traffic. Black beveled edges and sides reduce the risk of cleats catching during slides, keeping players safer as they cross the plate.

At 26.4 pounds, this wood filled home plate has enough heft to resist shifting in the dirt even without additional anchoring. The solid wood core does not compress or deform the way foam-filled alternatives can over time, which means the plate maintains its 3-inch regulation height and flat profile season after season. The black beveled edges are angled to deflect cleats away from the plate edge rather than catching them, which is an important detail for reducing ankle and foot injuries during head-first slides at home.

This plate is designed for fields that want a durable, set-it-and-forget-it home plate that does not require an in-ground anchor system. For programs that prefer a flush-mount installation, the in-ground waffle-style home plate sits level with the playing surface. The major league home plate is another option for competitive fields.
