Champion Sports RP81 Pitchers Plate, 2-Spike Official for the Mound
The Champion Sports RP81 is an official-size pitchers plate in heavy-duty rubber, anchored by two metal spikes. At 24in by 6in it is the two-spike regulation rubber, a lighter-anchor alternative to the three-spike 80 plate on a baseball and softball mound.
The two spikes anchor it to the mound and pull out for field maintenance, and it removes after the game to protect the rubber.

Heavy-Duty Mound Rubber
The RP81 is heavy-duty rubber that withstands all weather, with two metal spikes that anchor it to the mound. Two spikes seat it quickly while the heavy rubber resists push-off wear. It is the two-spike counterpart to the three-spike {a("80","80 plate")}.
Anchoring and Removing the RP81
Seat the plate, drive the two spikes flush, and play; remove it after the game or before dragging the mound. 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 RP81 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 RP81, 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 RP81 as a mound rubber for game and practice play. Heavy-duty rubber survives push-offs and weather.
A field that needs a official game mounds is the clearest case, since the RP81 anchors firmly yet pulls for mound maintenance.
Choosing This Style vs Companions
| If you need | Reach for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| This mound rubber | RP81 | Pitchers Plate, 2-Spike Official |
| 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 RP81 for a official game 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 RP81 Apart
Its value is a quick two-spike official hold: 24in heavy-duty rubber that anchors to the mound with two spikes and removes cleanly 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.
