Champion Sports BH83 Anchor Style Pitchers Plate for the Mound
The Champion Sports BH83 is an anchor-style pitchers plate in molded rubber, with a removable in-ground metal anchor system that locks the plate into the mound. At 24in by 6in it is the official size, a more secure, permanent hold than a spiked plate like the 80 on a baseball and softball mound.
The metal anchor locks the plate firmly yet allows removal for maintenance, suiting a permanent game mound.

Heavy-Duty Mound Rubber
The BH83 locks to a removable in-ground metal anchor system rather than relying on spikes, giving a firmer, more permanent hold. The molded rubber is durable in outdoor weather. It is the anchored counterpart to the spiked {a("80","80 plate")}, for fields that want a fixed mound rubber.
Anchoring and Removing the BH83
Install the in-ground anchor at the mound, lock the plate to it, and confirm it sits flush; lift it from the anchor for maintenance. Pair it with the anchored {a("M501","M501 set")} and a {a("96","home plate")}.
Where It Fits by Field Type
| Field | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Official game mound | Best | Regulation mound rubber |
| High school / league | Best | Heavy-duty rubber |
| Practice mound | Good | Removable for frequent use |
| Youth mound | Use youth size | Smaller mound rubber |
| Indoor bullpen | Good | Needs a soft surface |
| Home plate match | Use 96 | Waffle-bottom plate |
Equipping the Mound
For a groundskeeper, the BH83 completes a game mound and pairs with the rest of the diamond. Compare mound rubbers across the bases and home plates range and the baseball and softball collection.
Buyer and Field Workflow
Seat the BH83, confirm it is flush and level, and pull it before dragging the mound. Pair it with the anchored M501 set and a home plate so the diamond reorders together.
Who Buys This Rubber and Why
Athletic directors, groundskeepers, and leagues buy the BH83 as a mound rubber for game and practice play. Heavy-duty rubber survives push-offs and weather.
A field that needs a permanent anchored mounds is the clearest case, since the BH83 anchors firmly yet pulls for mound maintenance.
Choosing This Style vs Companions
| If you need | Reach for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| This mound rubber | BH83 | Anchor Style Pitchers Plate |
| An official three-spike plate | 80 | Heavy-duty rubber, three spikes |
| A two-spike plate | RP81 | Two metal spikes |
| A step-down rubber | BH82 | Reduces mound damage |
| A home plate | 96 | Waffle-bottom plate |
| A full base set | M501 | Welded-stanchion anchored set |
Expert Recommendation
Choose the BH83 for a permanent anchored mounds. For a three-spike official plate use the 80 plate, for the rest of the diamond build on the M501 set and match a 96 home plate.
Alternatives and Companion Styles
Companions: the 80 pitchers plate, the anchored M250 and welded M501 sets, the 96 home plate and 95 plate, and the 93 waffle base for practice.
What Sets the BH83 Apart
Its value is a locked, permanent mound rubber: molded rubber on a removable in-ground metal anchor system that holds more securely than spikes yet lifts for maintenance.

Care and Durability
Pull the rubber before dragging the mound and store it flat off-season. Heavy-duty rubber resists UV and weather; rinsing the spikes or anchor keeps it seating cleanly each game.
