Champion Sports BH89 Universal Home Plate for Game Diamonds
The Champion Sports BH89 is a universal home plate in molded rubber, shipping with a metal bottom plate, a ground anchor, and five spikes, so it can install either anchored or spiked. At 20in by 20in by 1.125in it sits flush on a baseball and softball diamond, fitting fields that use anchors or prefer spikes, alongside bases like the M501 set.
The combination of anchor and spikes makes it the most adaptable home plate, working on a wide range of fields without committing to one install method.

- Why it stands out: Molded rubber build
- In one line: The universal home plate for a game diamond
Molded rubber Construction
The BH89 backs molded rubber with a metal bottom plate and includes both a ground anchor and five spikes. That lets a field choose an anchored install for a liftable plate or a spiked install for a fixed one. The 1.125in low profile sits flush either way. It is the most flexible plate next to the anchor-only anchored comparison and the spiked 95 E-Z Slide.
Installing the BH89
Choose your method: set the included anchor for a liftable plate, or drive the five spikes for a fixed one, then seat the plate flush. Pair it with the anchored M501 set and the 80 pitchers plate to finish the 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 BH89 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 BH89 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 BH89 pairs with anchored bases and a fixed mound rubber.
Choosing This Style vs Companions
| If you need | Reach for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| This home plate | BH89 | Universal 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 BH89 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 BH89 Apart
Its value is adaptability: a universal home plate that ships with both a ground anchor and five spikes, so it installs anchored or spiked on whatever field it lands on.

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.
