Get the right mix for the right field
Having the best baseball dirt on your field matters. We’ve worked closely with coaches and groundskeepers to create baseball infield mixes that are top performers – offering safety, endurance for everyday play, and quick recovery after rain. Mar-Co baseball clay is a controlled blend of clays, sands, and baked clay. Every mix is a complete solution, requiring no additional conditioners or additives.

Erie Ball Mix
Now with a smaller aggregate size, Erie Ball Mix is changing expectations about what an affordable baseball infield mix can deliver. Like Washington Ball Mix, it offers durability, minimal maintenance, and good moisture control, but has a slightly softer, smoother texture because of its higher silt and clay content.

"Adding Mar-Co’s #15 Standard mix to our infield and the Clay Track Surfacer to our warning track has greatly enhanced the appearance of our ballpark and made prep time easier. In the spring, we’re playing when most other games are rained out."

"Maintenance of the fields is so much easier and faster then it ever was before we installed the MarCo Clay. If time, looks, and play are important to you then I would recommend installing the MarCo Clay mix on your field."
"The MarCo Clay has increased the playability of our fields from the stand point that we can get fields ready for play sooner after a rain storm. We have been asked to host the Williamsport Little League District tournaments in our area. We have had positive feed back from many of the teams that have played on our new MarCo Clay fields. Maintenance of the fields is so much easier and faster then it ever was before we installed the MarCo Clay. If time, looks, and play are important to you then I would recommend installing the MarCo Clay mix on your field."

"Mar-Co improved drainage to the infield, reduced labour costs for the municipality, and decreased the number of injuries during play with the softer clay. Not only that, but now it looks like the kids are playing on a big-league field, which brings smiles to their faces."

It’s great to see the smiles on the kids’ faces as they walk onto the field. It looks like they’re playing on a big-league field, and maybe they will someday, thanks to Mar-Co Clay."

"We’re very happy with the results on our baseball field since switching to Mar-Co warning track and infield materials. The great drainage of Mar-Co products have allowed us to play when other teams in the county have cancelled due to weather."

"In my 35 years experience in testing and installing baseball and softball field skinned area soil, I recently found the best mixture ever – Mar-Co Clay Ball Diamond Products."
"In my 35 years experience in testing and installing baseball and softball field skinned area soil, I recently found the best mixture ever – Mar-Co Clay Ball Diamond Products. It’s the best in evaporation rate, playability, ease of maintenance, and stability (resists rutting and moving into the grass edge). And the number overall quality is it doesn’t get muddy when wet. It’s amazing. All my customers love it."
