FAQ
What makes a double first base safer than a standard single base?
A double first base provides two separate contact zones - one for the runner and one for the fielder. This significantly reduces the chance of collisions or foot-stomping at first base during close plays, making it a recommended safety upgrade for leagues at all levels, including youth programs.
Does this base work with my existing ground sleeve?
Yes, the convertible mounting system is designed to fit a standard 1.5-inch ground sleeve. If your field already has ground sleeves installed, this base should drop right in. Ground sleeves and universal anchor plugs are sold separately for fields that do not yet have anchors in place.
Can this base be used for both baseball and softball?
Yes. The Soft Touch C15DBL Double First Base is suitable for both baseball and softball fields, and works for youth and adult competition levels alike - making it a versatile choice for multi-use facilities.
Is any additional hardware required for installation?
The base comes with a convertible tee, spike down disk, and 12-inch spike, which provides everything needed for installation into an existing 1.5-inch ground sleeve. If your field does not have a ground sleeve, you will need to purchase one separately along with a compatible anchor plug.
How durable is this base for heavy seasonal use?
The base is constructed from cut-resistant polyurethane, a material chosen specifically for its ability to withstand repeated impact and wear during practices and games. Its made-in-the-USA build quality ensures consistent performance throughout the season for leagues, schools, and athletic facilities.
