What Is The Best Baseball Turf?

When it comes to baseball turf, many manufacturers and types are out there. When it feels overwhelming to consider the numerous choices, know that the best artificial grass products for baseball are available at Greatmats. The following five synthetic turfs are among the most popular for our customers needing a softball or baseball training facility flooring at a reasonable cost.

1. Baseball Turf Pro Plus Roll, 1/2 Inch Pile Height

Greatmats’ Baseball Turf Pro Plus product is an all-around turf option that is ideal for batting cages, hitting facilities, baseball practice areas, and more.

It is virtually maintenance free, and it offers consistent performance over time. It is only suitable for indoor use, but it truly offers a realistic look and feel.

As a made in the USA product with top notch nylon backing over the top of a 3 mm foam pad, it delivers comfort for the athletes using it without sacrificing durability.

Its 1/2-inch pile height will not drag on the baseball as it rolls, creating an ideal situation for running fielding drills on a realistic surface. Each roll measures 15 feet in width, so you can cover a large space in a short amount of time.

2. Bermuda Artificial Grass Turf Roll With Padding, 9/16 Inch Pile Height

Greatmats’ Bermuda Artificial Grass Turf With Padding product may be best known for its multiple color options that you can use to match your team colors.

But don’t let the fact that these rolls are available in blue, clay, white (and more) colors fool you. These are high quality baseball turfs that will give athletes the ideal surface for practicing.

With a pile height of 9/16 of an inch, you receive a ball roll you can trust during fielding practice.

This 15-foot wide roll has a 5 mm foam backing, which is perfect when you are going over the top of a concrete floor. The foam provides just the right level of padding for the athletes without causing them to sink too far into the material. It doesn’t cause problems with unusual bounces, either.

3. Bermuda Artificial Grass Turf Roll, 9/16 Inch Pile Height

When you want a high quality turf for baseball with multiple color options that don’t include a foam padding layer, Greatmats’ Bermuda Artificial Grass Turf product is a popular selection.

You can save some money with the non-padded version of this product.

Even though it doesn’t have padding, you don’t need an infill to create a base layer for the installation. In a softball or baseball facility with hitting cages, you can trust its durability. It also works for general baseball and softball workouts.

These 15-foot rolls have a 9/16-inch pile height in a polypropylene plastic turf yarn that’s available in colors like black, blue, clay, white, orange, red, and yellow.

4. All Sport Artificial Grass Turf Roll, 1/4 Inch Pile Height

Greatmats’ All Sport Artificial Grass Turf Roll delivers improved durability and safety versus older products, ensuring that your indoor baseball or softball facility is able to host regular practice sessions without worrying about wear and tear.

This 15-foot-wide roll has a pile height of 1/4 of an inch, which ensures a realistic surface for practicing fielding. It also works nicely inside batting cages, thanks to its durability.

It carries a 5 mm foam backing layer that provides comfort when players are on their feet for long sessions while working on their fielding skills. Yet, it’s not so thick that the players sink into the foam. The padding layer helps when you are going directly over a concrete subfloor in your indoor baseball or softball facility.

5. Home Plate Mat, 3/4 Inch Total Thickness

In an indoor hitting facility or at your outdoor baseball or softball field, areas where players stand and take batting practice can quickly begin to show damage from wear and tear, especially if the players are wearing cleats.

Count on Greatmats’ Home Plate Mat product to create a space with extra padding that also protects batting areas from significant wear.

This batting cage turf mat measures 6 by 12 feet, so it’s large enough to accommodate either right- or left-handed hitters without having to slide it around.

It has batters’ box lines and a home plate imprinted on it to give hitters a realistic feel and look. It even carries a clay color, meaning it resembles the dirt surface found near home plate on an actual field.

When you finish batting practice, just roll up the mat and begin using the field or indoor practice turf as you normally would.
