About the Markwort Pro Home Plate with Rubber Anchor Stake
The Markwort Pro Home Plate with Rubber Anchor is an official 17 inch baseball home plate held in place by a removable rubber anchor stake. The white playing surface is framed by a black beveled edge, and the anchor is rubber rather than a metal stanchion. It suits game and practice fields that want a regulation plate on a simpler anchor.
How This Markwort Home Plate Holds Its Position
Every permanent home plate has to resist the same thing: cleats digging in on every swing and a catcher shifting behind it all game. Plates handle that in one of three ways. A bury-all plate, like the Bury-All Baseball Home Plate we carry, relies on a deep one-piece body set into the ground. A pro-style stanchion plate seats a steel back on an in-ground anchor. This plate uses a rubber anchor stake, and because the stake is removable, the anchor is not a permanent fixture. Whichever style you choose, set the plate level and flush with the surrounding surface, and check the alignment of the point toward the pitcher's rubber before packing the clay. A plate that sits even slightly high catches cleats; one that sits low collects water.
