Rogers Break-Away Bases Baseball Plates

The Rogers three-part Break Away Base System is unique and unlike any other base on the market. Central to the successful safety and durability record of the Break Away Base System is the stationary anchor system, the strategically-placed flexible rubber nipples molded to the base plate and the ability to control the appropriate release of the base top from the plate. Natural rubber construction of the base top allows for varying degrees of firmness to match the level of competition.

Quality and Performance

The popularity of this base has grown due to the fact that it is versatile and adaptable to youth, teen, adult and professional players. The youth model, base top, is the softest and requires the least impact to release. The base top footing becomes firmer and the impact force required to release the base top model from the base plate is greater as the base top models progress from teen to adult to professional. There is only one style of base plate and anchor. Only the base tops are different for the various levels of play.
