Champion Sports M700 Low Profile Pro Model Base Set

Champion Sports M700 Low Profile Pro Base Set for Safer Slides

The Champion Sports M700 is a low-profile, breakaway-style pro base set for fields that want a safer slide without giving up a fixed feel. Each 15in base is molded rubber on a breakaway mount, so it gives on hard contact and reseats for the next play. It sits between a permanent anchored set and a portable throw-down set in a baseball and softball program.

The set of three ships with ground anchors, so the field installs once and the low-profile bases drop in for play and lift out for storage.

Quick Answer

• What it is: A molded-rubber, breakaway-style set of three low-profile 15in bases
• Best for: Fields wanting a safer slide with an anchored feel
• Installs: Ground anchors included; bases drop in and lift out
• Why it stands out: Low profile plus breakaway action for slide safety
• In one line: The safer-slide pro set that still anchors to the field

Low Profile, Breakaway Action

The M700 keeps a low 2.5in profile and a breakaway mount, so a sliding runner meets a base that releases rather than a rigid block. The molded rubber stands up to weather and repeated impact, and the included anchors keep the base located for normal play. It is a gentler alternative to a fully fixed molded-shell anchored set while still installing into the ground, unlike a flat throw-down set.

Installing and Playing on the M700

Set the ground anchors at the base positions, then seat the low-profile bases. They release on a hard slide and reseat for the next play, and they lift out at season end for storage. For a permanent fixed install instead, the welded M501 pro set or bolted M500 step up the hold.

Where It Fits by Field Type

Equipping a Safer Diamond

For coaches and rec leagues focused on injury reduction, the M700 brings breakaway safety to the whole infield at a low profile. Standardize the infield on it and pair a breakaway double first base at first. Browse the full bases and home plates range to match field and level.

Buyer and Field Workflow

Install the anchors, seat the bases, and check the breakaway tension at the start of each season. Lift the bases for storage and cap empty anchors with a rubber base plug. Keep a spare base for quick exchange, and add a base spike where a field needs extra hold.

Who Buys This Set and Why

Youth leagues, schools, and recreation departments buy the M700 when slide safety matters but a portable set feels too loose. The breakaway action plus a low profile lowers the chance of a slide injury while keeping bases located by anchors.

A rec league converting from rigid bases to a safer infield is the clearest case, since the M700 drops into standard anchors and reseats itself after each slide.

Choosing This Style vs Companions

Expert Recommendation

Choose the M700 for a field that wants slide safety with an anchored feel. Step to the welded M501 for a permanent fixed diamond, the molded-shell M250 for a rigid hold, or the 98 throw-down set for a fully portable layout.

Alternatives and Companion Styles

Companions: the M250 molded-shell set, the welded M501 and bolted M500 pro sets, the 936SET rubber set, and the M950 breakaway first base. Match safety, permanence, or portability from this line.

What Sets the M700 Apart

Its value is safety with structure: a low-profile molded-rubber base that breaks away on impact yet still anchors to the field, so slides are softer without the bases drifting.

Care and Durability

Check the breakaway mounts each season and rinse the bases and anchors to keep grit out of the release. Molded rubber resists UV and weather; store the bases flat and dry, and cap empty anchors to protect them off-season.
