How can you keep the dirt in your baseball field from getting so hard?

The dirt will compact over time and poor maintenance. I find this procdure works: drag it flat and even, then soak it with water until it is wet several inches down, this may take several applications depending on how hard it is. Now wait until it becomes just damp ( the dirt is workable when damp but not soaked )and using a drag with 3" spikes ( a 12x12 piece of wood works) break up the dirt by dragging it over and over until you have a uniform 3" loose soil distribution over the whole area and drag it again ( with a normal drag mat )until smooth and wet it normally. try to keep the infield from drying out completely from now on. Soil conditionor, or field topping can be used to help also.

What is the advantage of baseball cleats over shoes?

Shoes ( I assume we are talking normal athletic shoes) tend to slip and slide on the infield dirt, and sometimes in the grass if it is wet. Wearing cleats (especially metal spikes) help dig into the ground and prevent slipping. They make a huge difference in performance and reaction time.


If a sterile field becomes wet with sterile solution is the field no longer considered sterile?
