Champion Sports M900 Breakaway Bases, Set of 3

Champion Sports M900 Breakaway Base Set for Safer Slides

The Champion Sports M900 is a quick-release breakaway base set built to cut slide injuries on a game field. Each base disengages from its stationary rubber base plate on impact, then reseats, so a hard slide meets a base that gives rather than a fixed block. It installs in standard ground anchors, fitting a diamond already set up with an anchored line like the M250 set in a baseball and softball program.

The set of three includes the bottom plate, top pad, steel ground anchor, and a rubber base plug for each position, so a field manager can convert an infield to breakaway safety in one purchase.

Specifications at a Glance

Quick Answer

• What it is: A set of three quick-release breakaway bases with anchors and plugs
• Best for: Reducing slide injuries on a fixed infield
• Installs: Standard ground anchors; releases and reseats on impact
• Why it stands out: Each base disengages from its plate on a hard slide
• In one line: The breakaway infield set that gives on contact

Quick-Release Breakaway Action

The M900 splits each base into a stationary bottom plate and a top pad. On a hard slide the top pad breaks free from the plate, absorbing the contact, then reseats for the next play. Molded rubber over a steel ground anchor keeps the system weather-durable and located, and the included rubber base plug caps the anchor when a base is removed. It shares the standard anchor system with the molded-shell set, so it drops into an existing diamond.

Installing a Breakaway Infield

Set the steel ground anchors at first, second, and third, then seat the breakaway bases. They release on impact and reseat between plays, and lift out for storage with the rubber base plug capping each anchor. For a complete safety infield that also covers first base, the M905SET pairs these bases with a breakaway double first base.

Where It Fits by Field Type

Equipping a Safer Infield

For an athletic director or league manager, the M900 brings breakaway safety to all three bags at once. It standardizes the infield on a quick-release system that drops into existing anchors. Compare safety, anchored, and portable options across the bases and home plates range.

Buyer and Field Workflow

Install the anchors, seat the bases, and test the release at the start of each season. Lift the bases for storage and cap each anchor with a base plug. Keep the diamond stocked with a breakaway double first base and an anchored M250 set as the fixed-base alternative.

Who Buys This Set and Why

Athletic directors, youth leagues, and schools buy the M900 to reduce slide injuries across the infield. The quick-release design lets each base give on a hard slide while standard anchors keep the bags located.

A program upgrading a fixed diamond to breakaway safety is the clearest case, since the M900 installs in the standard anchors already in the ground.

Choosing This Style vs Companions

Expert Recommendation

Choose the M900 to make all three bases breakaway on a fixed diamond. For first-base safety too, step to the M905SET; for a rigid hold use the anchored M250 or welded M501; and add a M950 double first base on its own where only first needs upgrading.

Alternatives and Companion Styles

Companions: the M950 breakaway first base, the anchored M250 and welded M501 sets, the 936SET rubber set for practice, and a rubber base plug for capping anchors.

What Sets the M900 Apart

Its value is a full breakaway infield in one set: three quick-release bases that disengage on impact and reseat, installed in the standard anchors a field already uses.

Care and Durability

Test each release before the season and rinse the bases and anchors to keep grit out of the action. The molded rubber and steel anchors are weather durable; store bases flat and dry and cap empty anchors with plugs.
