Why Portable practice mounds are a smart choice
Coaches and trainers know that keeping your young pitcher in top form throughout the off-season requires a high-quality practice mound.
A proper mound gives your thrower a game-like experience. It has cushioning to help them land safely, and enough room on the plateau for pitchers to move without fear of injury.
The right mound is not only good for throwing pitches, but good for practicing strides and pick-off moves to base.
That’s where Portolite steps in.
Our practice portable pitching mounds are perfect for batting practice, bullpens, athletic facilities and gyms. The full body, high-performance poly-protected resilient core constructure will give pitchers a solid yet cushioned landing area reducing knee and ankle strain.
What’s more, they’re the lightest on the market, coming in one-and two-piece models!
Just ask professional pitcher and 515 Fieldhouse owner Mitch Wylie, who says Portalite mounds were an outstanding choice for his players.
“Pitchers are extra particular about mounds, I know I was as a pitcher,” says Wylie, who played for the Chicago White Sox, New York Mets and San Francisco Giants for nine years.
“I chose Portolite for the durability and safety. There is a night and day difference between Portolite and other mounds on the market.”
His facility is used for baseball and soccer, and for team rentals. Portolite’s light weight makes moving mounds around to accommodate various players and practices a breeze.
The poly coating grips gymnasium floors without scratching. Practice mounds come with durable turf and are available in clay, red, tan, and green colors.
Mound rubbers last 10 times longer than industry standards.
Portolite practice mounds come in a variety of sizes to meet your players needs as they grow from Little League to high school and college play.
Our oversized model is 10” high, 10’6” high and 5’ wide, designed for the tallest pitchers, longest strides and extra “noisy” wind ups.
A larger back area is perfect for practicing pick-off moves.
The one-piece weighs in at 160 pounds. Each section of the two-piece mound comes in at 55-65 pounds per section.
The standard model is 10” high, 10’6” long and 4’ wide. The one-piece model is 140 pounds, and weight is 40-55 pounds per section.
The two-piece model has become a hit among coaches, trainers, and tournament directors. The design and light weight make moving mounds on and off the field or gym floor easy, and storage a snap.
“Portolite mounds are an outstanding choice for us,” Wylie praises. “Hands down, across the board – I’ve been doing this for 22 years – they are the best mounds out there.”
