What Are Portable Pitching Mounds?
Customers often ask us, "What are portable pitching mounds?" Portable pitching mounds are movable pitching mounds that replicate a pitching mound's size, elevation, and slope.
Traditionally, pitcher's mounds are stationary, built into the baseball field with precise dimensions as per the League's regulations. However, portable baseball pitching mounds offer the flexibility of being easily transported and set up anywhere, be it a baseball field, your backyard, a practice facility, or an indoor arena. Constructed from a variety of materials like fiberglass, foam, rubber, and AstroTurf, these mounds are designed to mimic the look and feel of a permanent mound, offering a realistic pitching experience.
The Benefits of a Portable Pitching Mound - Why You Need One

Our favorite part about turf pitching mounds is the time and money factor. By owning a portable mound, you do not have to build up a mound from dirt or pay a groundskeeper to. Just throw the mound down and play ball!

Different Types of Portable Pitching Mounds
The most common types of portable pitchers mounds are game mounds (also referred to as portable outdoor pitching mounds), indoor pitching mounds, pitching platforms, portable bullpen pitching mounds, and softball pitching mats. Let's read on and learn more about the different types of portable pitching mounds.
Portable Game Pitching Mounds
As the name sounds, game mounds are designed and used for game use rather than practice. These game mounds will often meet the dimension requirement for game use for various youth leagues. These outdoor pitching mounds are the most common types of pitching mounds and are the most popular types of pitching mounds we stock and sell.

Indoor Pitching Mounds
Also referred to as practice pitching mounds, portable indoor pitching mounds are generally used for indoor gyms or baseball training facilities and feature non-slip, non-scratching technology on the bottom of the mound for gym floors. However, some indoor pitching mounds can used outdoors as well. Indoor portable mounds are intended for practice only and are not built for game use.

Little League Pitching Mounds
We also have a separate collection of portable pitching mounds approved by Little League for game use. Click here to shop our collection of Little League-approved portable pitching mounds and our best Litttle League pitching mounds.
Pitching Platforms
Pitching platforms are used outdoors and go over the baseball pitching mound during BP so the dirt mound does not get damaged. These batting practice pitching platforms usually come with wheels, making them easy to roll on and off the field. Click here to shop our collection of pitching platforms.
Portable Bullpen Pitching Mounds
Bullpen mounds are used for helping pitchers warm up in the bullpen with a realistic size mound to pitch from. If your field does not have a groundskeeper who can build and maintain a pitching mound in the bullpen, a portable bullpen pitching mound will be imperative to your field.

Softball Pitching Mats
Also referred to as softball pitching mounds, these softball pitching mats will help any softball pitcher step up their skills and lower their ERA. Click here to shop among our complete line of softball pitching mats.
How to Choose the Right Portable Pitching Mound
Selecting the right portable pitching mound is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of your training sessions, as well as ensuring the safety and development of players, staying within your budget, and meeting mound dimension requirements for your League. Whether you're outfitting a youth league, managing a school team, or gearing up for professional play, there are several key factors to consider.
Factors to Consider
Size
The most important factor to take into consideration when purchasing a portable pitching mound is the size. Every League has different requirements for the size of the mounds it uses. It's important to ensure that the mound you purchase will meet your League's requirements. We have two sections below, titled "Portable Pitching Mounds by Height" and "Pitching Mound Dimension Requirements by League," that will help you pick the right-sized mound based on your pitcher's age and League.
Budget
Budget will, of course, play a major role in which portable mound you buy. If your budget is under $1,000, we recommend buying a smaller-sized, stride-off portable mound (these make great backyard pitching mounds). These pitching mounds elevate the rear leg of the pitcher, but their front leg is on level ground.
We recommend using the price filter on the top and left-hand side of this page. This filter will allow you to pick your price range, and it will show you mounds within that range.
Materials & Durability
Before purchasing a youth pitchers mound, it's imperative to know what materials the mound is made of before you make your purchase. We recommend staying away from materials like cheap foam. Steer towards mounds built with reinforced fiberglass, high-density foams, poly materials, and real AstroTurf. In a worst-case scenario, you can always repair your pitching mound with a turf repair kit. And if you plan on leaving it outside for a long period of time, make sure you cover it with a pitching mound tarp.
Lucky for you, all the portable pitching mounds found on our website have been vetted and are built with quality materials, ensuring a long lifespan.
Warranty
The last thing to consider is the warranty. If a manufacturer really backs their products and believes in what they are selling, they'll offer at least a 2-3 years warranty. Look at brands like Portilite; they offer a 10-year manufacturer's warranty!
Using Filters to Further Narrow Down Your Search
