Field Maintenance

Raking / Dragging the Field

  • Fill the pitcher's mound and any low gravel areas as needed.
  • Rake parallel to the edge of the grass to prevent the formation of a lip or build-up of dirt on the edge of the grass.
  • When dragging, drag at least 6 inches away from the edge of the grass to prevent dirt from getting on the grass. Rake the dirt edge near the grass slowly by hand.
