Ballfield Design & Dimensions Guide

The Essential Ballfield Guide Produced by Beacon Athletics since 2007

Welcome to the definitive resource for ballfield design, construction and renovation. This expanded fourth edition brings you several noteworthy updates. Most importantly, the experts at Beacon Athletics and DuraEdge have combined forces to deliver the most complete Ballfield Guide ever.

We know you’ll face a critical aspect in the performance of your infield right from the start. So for the first time, we go in depth with what you need to know to make sure your infield soil is properly installed.

In anticipation of a trickle down effect over the next few years, we’ve also updated our how-to for the installation of base anchors with the MLB and MiLB moving to 18″ bases. And in this edition, we walk you through the pros and cons of artificial and natural pitching mounds.

We know this guide will become one of the most valuable tools in your shed. But please don’t hesitate to contact the industry leaders at DuraEdge and Beacon Athletics if you have any questions or reference the online resources at Ballfields.com/guide for an interactive experience with the information in this guide.
