Wake Forest has a turf pitcher’s mound.

I don’t believe our pitchers liked it much.

The two tone stripes are the in thing in baseball

Agreed.**

Looks like a turf mound??! That’s a bad idea**
NOVAbasebllfan • 12/07/23 07:07 PM ET
I believe turf will be cut off the mound and will be a dirt mound.**
HokieJack • 12/09/23 08:44 PM ET

I see more turf mounds than dirt mounds on the turf fields I have seen on

HokieJack • 12/13/23 03:04 AM ET
College of Charleston has one

RJHokie • 12/10/23 06:20 PM ET

HokieJack • 12/12/23 04:35 AM ET
Good info.**
