What is mound clay made of?
January 14, 2022
It is made of clay. Every dirt can be defined as the percentage of sand, silt, and clay sized particles. Sand particles are the largest. Clay particles are the smallest and silt is in between. Mound clay is not 100% clay particles as many people think. Most mound clays are 40-50% sand with the remaining portion 50-60% being silt and clay particles. This mixture compacts well and provides an excellent media for pitching mounds and the batter’s box.
