In a bold move to elevate their game, the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles baseball team has recently completed the installation of a new AstroTurf Diamond Series field.

As the competitive spirit of collegiate baseball heats up, this project not only highlights Oral Roberts' dedication to maintaining performance standards but also showcases United Turf Track's growing reputation as a leading provider of athletic playing surfaces.

The Importance of Advanced Playing Surfaces

The new Diamond Series system offers a meticulously engineered surface designed specifically for baseball. It ensures true ball hops, dependable footing, and consistent playability, all of which are crucial for maintaining competitive integrity during high-stakes matches. For programs facing the unpredictable nature of spring weather—where cold rain can quickly disrupt play—having a reliable surface is essential. AstroTurf's baseball systems feature advanced drainage capabilities, ensuring that all games can proceed as scheduled, even when natural grass fields may be unplayable.

The installation also aligns with an industry shift toward synthetic solutions that reduce weather-related interruptions while enhancing athlete safety and performance.

This success story emphasizes the trend among Division I programs across the nation, where over sixty now rely on AstroTurf fields for both training and competitive play.

Head Coach Ryan Folmar expressed excitement about the installation, stating, "We are extremely grateful to United Turf and Track and AstroTurf for their partnership and craftsmanship. This upgrade positions our program to continue competing at the highest level. The quality of this surface reflects our shared commitment to excellence and will enhance our student-athletes' training and competitive experience for years to come."

AstroTurf’s Diamond Series baseball fields are tailored to support fast-paced offenses and precise defensive plays, enabling teams to focus more on rigorous practice and game strategies rather than worrying about field quality. With this installation, the Oral Roberts baseball program underscores its intention to not just participate but excel in a demanding sports landscape.
