A well-maintained baseball field is essential for the safety of players, the enjoyment of the game, and the longevity of the field itself. Regular upkeep ensures a smooth, playable surface, reduces the risk of injury, and keeps the field looking professional. Key tasks such as dragging the field with a machine, raking the base paths, managing standing water, and marking foul lines and the batter's box with chalk are fundamental steps in ensuring optimal field conditions. Additionally, prepping the pitcher's mound before each game is crucial for maintaining consistency and performance.
