This lightweight yet durable portable mound makes it perfect for on-the-go. Choose its color between green or clay colors to match your baseball field.

What we love about this pitching mound: Since this model is over 100 inches long, you can be assured that your child will experience a game-like simulation. From the beginning of the pitch, to when their front foot lands on the slope of the mound, it will feel like a real life pitching mound.
