Bullpens can be one of the toughest areas to maintain. Irish turns to ProDry to keep his bullpens playable when conditions get tricky. It performs exactly how a bullpen material should, even under pressure. Full video: youtu.be/Gv33FPpIi7U #Groundskeeping #Bullpen…
The difference is below the surface. Luke Yoder shows how the right topdressing (in this case, ProSlide Brown) holds just the right amount of moisture under the infield skin. That balance gives you true hops, consistent footing, and reliable playability all day long. Watch…

Dialed in our mound: Installed a new @bulldogfe pitching rubber, refined our slope and tabletop. Even skated the @DuraEdge BlackStick. I take pride in our circles! Some small refinements & we're prepped for the long winter.
Our newest video is live! When you’re cleaning up your mound, don’t toss those scrapings, reuse them. It’s a simple way to stretch your materials and keep your field in shape without extra cost. See the full video for more maintenance tips: youtu.be/oOcy56-jYHw?si……
Fall is one of the best times to get grading work done. Paul Zwaska explains why cooler weather and lighter schedules make autumn the ideal time to regrade your infield and fix low spots before winter sets in. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/L7x59R1leH4…
Consistency matters. Irish and Luke Yoder know that a pitcher’s mound and bullpen mounds have to play the same. It’s about giving players a surface they can trust and helping the game feel fair from every angle. Watch the full video: youtu.be/Gv33FPpIi7U?si… #Homefield…
For Patrick “Irish” Coakley, Director of Field Operations for the Hub City Spartanburgers, the best part of the job isn’t the hours or the routine. It’s the people. The fans. The kids. Seeing their faces when they step onto a professional field for the first time. Watch more…

The little details make all the difference. When setting a base anchor, it needs to be perfectly plumb so the base sits square and secure. Paul shows exactly how to measure and install anchors the right way. Full video here: youtu.be/t_JtN3zqMzE?si… #Baseball #Softball…
Thanks to @StJohnsTurfcare for getting the playing surface in pristine condition. @DuraEdge infield mix tilled in and laser grading getting done by the best in the business!
The players get the spotlight. The groundskeepers make it possible. In our new video, we follow Patrick “Irish” Coakley through a full day of prepping and maintaining the Spartanburgers’ field. From early mornings in the bullpens to the first pitch, you’ll see why groundskeeping…
