Big League Looks, Big League Protection

Protect from Bounce-Back

Shield baseball and softball players from dangerous recoil and errant foul balls with backstop padding engineered for high-impact performance.

Complete Your Backstop

Pair your baseball backstop padding with matching backstop netting for seamless, full-coverage protection from ground level to the top of the fence.

Easy Storage

Fold and store your backstop padding during the off-season to extend its lifespan and keep it looking field-ready year after year.

Custom Sizes Available

From stock sizes that fit most ballparks to fully custom-manufactured baseball backstop padding, we build to your exact facility dimensions.

Complete Your Field Beyond the Backstop

Backstop padding is just one part of a complete field safety layout. Pair it with outfield wall padding along the fence line, fence rail and post padding on exposed dugout rails and structural posts, and fence top protection to cover sharp chain-link edges. Our stadium and field padding guide covers padding types, thicknesses, and mounting options for every surface on the diamond.

Meeting NCAA Backstop Padding Requirements

Starting in 2027, NCAA Rule 2.15 requires all baseball and softball venues to pad every hard surface a player could collide with, including backstops, outfield walls, sideline fences, and dugout rails. The rule mandates a minimum of 2-inch ASTM F2440 foam, with 3 inches recommended for backstops and outfield walls. If your program needs to plan for compliance, our NCAA Rule 2.15 compliance guide covers the full rule text, timeline, cost breakdown, and a step-by-step planning checklist.
