What is baseball clay (mound and infield clay)?
Baseball clay is a dense, sticky clay for the parts of a field that take the most wear: the pitcher's mound, home plate and the batter's boxes. Packed and kept moist, it holds its shape under cleats instead of digging out. It's also called mound clay or packing clay.
Baseball clay vs infield mix
Infield mix is a sand-silt-clay blend for the whole skin, the dirt part of the infield. Mound and plate clay has more clay, so it packs harder for the spots where players push off and dig in.
What is the dirt on a baseball field called?
The dirt area is the infield skin, usually infield mix. The mound, home plate and batter's boxes use a stiffer packing clay, and many fields add a top-dressing or conditioner over the skin.
Keeping clay playable
Water the mound and plate before play so the clay is moist but not muddy, tamp it after use, and cover it when it rains. Dry clay cracks; soaked clay gets slick.
Baseball clay in Florida
Heavy summer rain and heat are hard on clay. Covers over the mound and plate between games, and a quick re-tamp after storms, keep the surface consistent.
How much baseball clay: depth by job
One ton of clay is about 0.77 yd³, so it covers about 250 sq ft at 1 in and 125 sq ft at 2 in before compaction.
| Job | Depth | Coverage per ton | Typical amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patch holes at the rubber and plate | 1 in | ~250 sq ft | Under 1 ton |
| Resurface mound or batter's boxes | 2 in | ~125 sq ft | 2–3 tons for a mound |
| Rebuild a mound or plate area | 4 in | ~62 sq ft | About 5 tons for a full mound |
| New infield skin (6,000 sq ft) | 3 in | ~83 sq ft | About 80–90 tons |

What to expect when your baseball clay is delivered
Where will the truck dump it?
Dumped from the street or driveway.
Do I need to be home?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.
Will it be spread?
No. Baseball clay arrives in one pile and isn't spread on site, so plan wheelbarrows and rakes, or a crew, to move it onto the field.
Can the truck reach my backyard?
A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.
How much fits on one truck?
About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads.
Is there a delivery fee?
No separate fee: delivery is included in the price. That's why small loads cost more per ton than a full truck.
When can it come?
Delivery takes 2–3 business days. You pick the weekday at checkout, and a later date is fine too.
