FirstStrike Wheeled 6-Inch Portable Pitching Mound is a full-size, portable pitching mound built for pitchers ages 10 and under. It delivers regulation 6-inch height and a full-length stride area with a true one-inch-per-foot slope, so young pitchers train on real mechanics — not backyard habits.
Built to Regulation 6-Inch Specs for Youth and Little League
The FirstStrike matches official youth and Little League mound height requirements. Its true one-inch-per-foot slope develops the downhill mechanics young pitchers need to build a foundation before moving up in age and competition level.
Full-Length Stride Area for Real Pitching Mechanics
The FirstStrike's full-length 7.5-foot landing zone gives young pitchers room to complete their stride and follow-through naturally. Short or undersized mounds force compensations that become bad habits. FirstStrike Wheeled 6-Inch Portable Pitching Mound eliminates that problem from the very first rep.
Rolls to the Field — All 91 lbs Feels Like 35
The Stow & Throw™ wheel system uses oversized 12-inch solid PVC wide-track wheels with an axle that distributes weight evenly across the mound — so 91 lbs rolls like 35. Quick-release stainless steel pins stow the wheels flush underneath for storage. It fits in an SUV and sets up in under a minute.
Built from Exterior-Grade Baltic Birch with Marine-Grade Hardware
Every component of the FirstStrike Wheeled 6-Inch Portable Pitching Mound is engineered for outdoor durability — exterior-grade Baltic Birch core, 316 marine-grade stainless steel hinges, 304 stainless steel push-button quick-release pins, waterproof Titebond III glued joinery, and waterproof nylon bolts. Optimized for turf shoes.

Great mound for my 8 and 10 year old. Easy to move around and fits nicely in the back of my truck.
Ryan, thank you for this review! Hope the team is out there yelling 'Bye You' as your son's out there throwing fuel!!!
Picked this up for my son and it’s been a great addition for practice at home. It’s easy to move around and doesn’t take long to set up, which makes it more likely we actually use it during the week. It feels solid and has held up well so far.
