AllStar Mounds 8" Youth Baseball Portable Pitching Mound 3 - Allstar 3
The AllStar #3 practice pitching mound was designed for practice games and bullpen warmup for pitchers aged 13 through 15. Many parks also use the Allstar #3 Mound for games. As the games linger on Allstar Mounds don’t develop holes & rough spots to distract the pitcher. This mound also has a thin edge all around, so it lays almost even with the field and won’t move around while the pitcher is going through his motion. No maintenance is required by the park staff while tournaments are taking place.
The Allstar #3 Mound is 66” wide x 101” long x 8” high where the pitcher stands in front of the pitching rubber. The distance between the pitching rubber & the front of the mound is 70” so the pitcher’s front foot should land on the mound and not in the dirt. The #3 Allstar mound should help the pitcher improve his control of the ball.
AllStar Mounds offers a 3-year limited warranty on the fiberglass shell of the pitching mounds. (No warranty on turf.)
Our portable mounds are made with high strength industrial fiberglass, no wood or styrofoam, and will last through many years of baseball games.

Try our fiberglass pitching mounds and see what a difference AllStar Mounds can make for your baseball program. Turn your softball fields into baseball fields in minutes and save many hours of maintenance by converting all your ball fields to AllStar Pitching Mounds.
AllStar Pitching Mounds are made with a thin edge all around so the pitchers will not turn their ankle when stepping off the mound. Our thin edge also prevents the ball from making any bad bounces if it hits the edge. AllStar Mounds are concaved on the bottom so the edge all around lies tight to the ground, even if the field is not groomed well. Our pitching mounds will not curl up on the edges, even if they are stored standing all winter.
AllStar Mounds are great for games, bullpen warm-up and practice. All you need to do is carry the mound to the center of your field and instantly convert any softball field to baseball. Our portable pitching mounds can be moved forward and backward to make the field perfect for kids of different age groups.
AllStar Mounds are used by many recreation departments, churches, private organizations, and personal use. We gladly furnish references, at your request. Try our super strong fiberglass pitching mounds and you'll see the long term difference we can make to your baseball program.
