Champion Sports BH87 Pro Anchor Home Plate for Game Diamonds
The Champion Sports BH87 is a Pro Anchor home plate in molded rubber, with a metal bottom plate and an included ground anchor. At 20in by 20in by 1.125in it sets flush and locks to a ground anchor, so it stays fixed yet can be lifted for maintenance on a baseball and softball diamond running anchored bases like the M501 set.
The metal bottom plate and ground anchor give it a solid, low-profile hold that a bury-all plate cannot offer for fields that want a liftable plate.

Molded rubber Construction
The BH87 backs molded rubber with a metal bottom plate and locks to an included ground anchor. The 1.125in low profile sits flush with the field, and the anchor keeps it fixed during play while allowing removal for maintenance, much like the anchored base sets. It is the anchored, liftable alternative to a buried plate.
Installing the BH87
Install the ground anchor at the home position, set the plate with its metal bottom onto the anchor, and confirm it sits flush. Lift it for maintenance and reseat it. Pair it with the anchored M501 set and the 80 pitchers plate for a matched, liftable diamond.
Where It Fits by Field Type
| Field | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent game field | Best | Durable home plate |
| League diamond | Best | Heavy-duty rubber |
| School field | Best | Low maintenance |
| Practice field | Use 95 | Removable spiked plate |
| Portable layout | Use 96 | Waffle-bottom plate |
| Anchored bases | Use M501 | Welded-stanchion set |
Equipping a Permanent Diamond
For an athletic director, the BH87 sets the home plate on a game diamond, pairing with anchored bases and an official mound rubber. Compare home-plate options across the bases and home plates range.
Buyer and Field Workflow
Install the plate per its mounting, check it sits flush and level, and pair it with the M501 base set and an official mound rubber. Re-level after heavy weather if the ground settles.
Who Buys This Plate and Why
Athletic directors, groundskeepers, and leagues buy the BH87 to set a durable home plate on a game diamond. Molded rubber construction stands up to game play and weather.
A school finishing a game field is the clearest case, since the BH87 pairs with anchored bases and a fixed mound rubber.
Choosing This Style vs Companions
| If you need | Reach for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| This home plate | BH87 | Pro Anchor Home Plate |
| A removable spiked plate | 95 | E-Z Slide, three spikes |
| A portable plate | 96 | Waffle-bottom, no install |
| A full base set | M501 | Welded stanchion |
| An official mound rubber | 80 | Three-spike pitchers plate |
| A safety first base | M950 | Breakaway double first base |
Expert Recommendation
Choose the BH87 as the home plate for a game diamond. For removable or portable plates use the 95 E-Z Slide or 96 waffle plate; complete the field with the anchored M501 bases and the 80 pitchers plate.
Alternatives and Companion Styles
Companions: the 95 plate, the 96 plate, the 85 Save-A-Leg plate, the anchored M250 and welded M501 sets, and the 80 pitchers plate.
What Sets the BH87 Apart
Its value is an anchored, liftable home plate: molded rubber on a metal bottom plate that locks to a ground anchor for a fixed hold yet lifts out for field maintenance.

Care and Durability
Keep the plate surface clear and check it sits flush after heavy weather. Molded rubber resists weather and game wear; re-level it if the ground settles to keep it game-ready.
