About the Portable Aluminum Pitching Platform 7x3
The Portable Aluminum Pitching Platform is a 7 ft by 3 ft pitching platform with a padded turf surface. It gives pitchers a raised surface to throw from wherever the team practices: in front of a cage, on a practice field or in an indoor facility, without building or maintaining a dirt mound.
Why a Portable Platform
Pitchers need to throw from a slope to develop the timing and mechanics they use in games. A portable platform puts that slope anywhere and rolls away when it is done, so bullpens and live batting practice can happen on any field or in any building.
Features
- Aluminum frame
- 7 ft long by 3 ft wide
- Padded turf surface
- Wheels for moving it into place
Ways to Use It
- Bullpens on a practice field without a mound.
- Live batting practice in front of a cage or indoor tunnel.
- Pitching lessons in a facility.
- Extra mounds on game days so more pitchers can warm up at once.
Care
Keep the turf clean and dry, store the platform out of standing water, and check the wheels and hardware at the start of each season.
Pairs Well With

Who It Is For
High school and college programs without a practice mound, travel organizations that rent fields, indoor facilities and private pitching instructors. A platform lets every pitcher on the staff throw from a slope on the same day.
Why Not a Dirt Mound
Dirt mounds need constant repair and cannot move. A platform delivers the same slope wherever it is needed and takes minutes to set up.
Setting Up
Roll the platform into place on a flat surface, line it up with home plate or the target, and set the distance for the age group. Use a screen in front of the platform during live batting practice to protect the pitcher.
Distances
Set the platform at the right pitching distance for the age group you are working with, and move it as the group changes. That flexibility is one of the biggest advantages over a fixed mound.
