The Best Baseball Portable Pitching Mounds For Little League
We so many travel ball leagues using practice or bullpen mounds for gameplay and it hurts our hearts. These are okay in the cage or pen, but expecting a pitcher at any level to also play baseball off of this mound is thoughtlessly dangerous. It is a shame to see so many leagues use these terrible mounds. It is not only bad for the young kids but it also doesn't teach them the right machines for pitching off a major league mound.
A great portable game mound will replicate the hill of a real mound. This means the top-down view will be some type of oval or circle shape. The smoother that transition into the field of play, the better. The best portable pitching mounds replicate the real slope of a real field.
