Soft Touch Bases

Soft Touch Bases Progressive Release® bases are designed to help reduce the chance of injury from uncontrolled slides and are Made in the U.S.A.

Buy directly from the factory and save. Don’t miss out on these huge savings! Soft Touch® "Progressive Release" bases are molded from durable cut resistant polyurethane. Made in the USA, all of our bases are designed to flex and absorb energy as a player slides into the base. In case of uncontrolled slides, the patented "Progressive Release" action allows the base to flex until enough force is app

lied to "pop" the base free from the mount, unlike a stationary base. Proven in 20 years of play, Soft Touch® bases outperform standard bases. Soft Touch® bases are fully warranted against failure in craftsmanship and material for a full year.

A slide happens fast. One second a runner is sprinting toward the bag, and the next they’re dropping, reaching, and hoping they beat the throw.

There’s a lot happening in that split second, and the base is right in the middle of it. Players aren't just running over it. They're hitting it at full speed, sliding into it, stopping on it, and sometimes colliding with it.

It’s one of the most exciting plays in the game, but it’s also one of the hardest on an athlete. That’s why the base they’re sliding into matters more than most people realize.

If your school is replacing bases, upgrading a field, or planning improvements for the upcoming season, take a closer look at what your athletes are sliding into. Learn more about Soft Touch Bases at softtouchbases.com.

Think about every position on a baseball or softball field. Pitchers have their equipment. Catchers have theirs. Infielders and outfielders have their gloves. But there’s one piece of equipment that every player eventually runs to, steps on, slides into, or stands beside.

The base.

It’s involved in nearly every part of the game, but it’s probably one of the last things anyone thinks about when they walk onto a field. That’s something we’ve always found interesting at Soft Touch Bases. When something gets used by everyone, every game, every season, it’s worth paying attention to how well it actually does its job.

That’s the kind of detail we care about.

We didn't set out to reinvent baseball. We just started wondering why the base had to be the way it had always been. It's something players interact with constantly, but it's one of those pieces of equipment most people never really think about. So we started looking at it differently, asking questions, trying things, and figuring out what could be improved. That process eventually became Soft Touch Bases. We’re proud of what we've created, but we're even more excited about the reason behind it: taking something familiar and finding a better, safer way to do it.

We spend a lot of time talking about the players, coaches, and parents who make baseball and softball what they are. But there’s another group that deserves some credit too: the people who keep the fields running.

The ones out there early getting the field ready, fixing what needs fixed, checking equipment, and making sure everything is ready before the players ever show up. Most people probably never think about who did it, they just know the field is ready when they get there.

We appreciate those people. They care about the game just as much as the people playing it, and that’s something we’re proud to be a part of at Soft Touch Bases.

Most people don't give much thought to what happens at the base until a close play brings everyone's attention to it.
A runner is coming in, the throw is on its way, and everything happens in a matter of seconds. Those moments are part of what makes baseball and softball so exciting, but they also make the equipment players interact with incredibly important. That perspective is at the heart of Soft Touch Bases. We believe bases should be designed with those moments in mind, giving teams another option when they're looking at ways to improve their fields.

A coach can teach a player how to slide.
They can teach them when to go.
How to read the pitcher.
How to round the bag.
How to beat the throw.
But they don't control what the player lands on.
That's where equipment matters.
Soft Touch Bases were designed to give coaches another option when it comes to creating a safer playing environment.
You take care of the players. We'll think about the base.

There's something special about a game that's been part of American life for generations.

A kid picks up a glove.
A parent takes them to practice.
A team gathers around the field.
And another season begins.

Baseball has a way of bringing generations together.

We're proud that Soft Touch Bases are made right here in America and can be part of that tradition.

Proudly made in the USA. Proudly made for the game.

It starts with the choices made before the first pitch.
From the equipment players wear to the equipment they play around, every detail of the field can make a difference.

Soft Touch Bases were designed with player safety in mind, helping create a softer landing where some of the game's hardest impacts happen.

Because a safer field is something worth planning for.

For some kids, this will be their first season.
For others, it will be their last.
Some parents will watch their child put on a jersey that's a little too big.
Others will realize it's the last time they'll watch them take the field as a kid.
The seasons go by faster than anyone expects.

That's why every season matters.

At Soft Touch Bases, we're proud to support the athletes, coaches, and schools that make these moments possible. If your school or athletic program is planning field improvements for the upcoming season, we'd love to be part of creating a safer place for athletes to play.

Because every season deserves to be remembered for the right reasons.
