- Video of our fall infield maintenance. Follow along as I show you exactly how I get our infield dialed in, looking beautiful for the season! This 3 week process shows dethatching, aerating, overseeding and topdressing.

NOTHING more satisfying than watching a baseball field get proper TLC. Good work sir!
Thank you!
Great stuff Coach. Thank you for sharing all of the information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Was looking at doing this to our infield this fall. Very helpful video to help me figure out the process.
Thank you. Hit me up if you have any questions.
Love it Coach! Looks great. Little jealous of your weather down there.
Thanks buddy!
Great to see how this work is done on a sport field. That's allet would be a dream to operate let alone own it. Would like to use some of this processes on my home lawn.
Looks awesome dude! Great video
Thank you!
Love what your doing man im a groundskeeper in goodyear arizona at the Cincinnati reds spring training facility we just started this process getting the fields ready
Awesome. Hit me up anytime
Awesome video. Thanks for the info. We rent dethaching equiment usually not in the best shape.
Great work!
Coach......great video! Thanks so much, I appreciate it. I'll email you specific questions.
Tip- cut the music so we can hear you.
Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely consider in future videos
Great video!
Thank you
This is nice.... i wanna do this to my lawn.....
Great work as usual. Love the new mower. Are going to put more seed on those bare spots? We are going to start doing our field on Nov 15th. Hopefully the weather stays warm and the prep goes well. Wish me luck.
Would love to see the progress! Yes I threw down a little extra late this week in some spot.
Looks good, but you should’ve gone with Fescue. JK😂. We can’t wait to get going at GV. Thanks for all your great info, coach!
Ha! :)
Great video! Very informative!! ⚾️🏟️ Do you follow the same process in the outfield? Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi, thanks for the kind words. I don't follow the same process with the outfield, because of time purposes. I do a pretty generic overseed with a lot of shortcuts.
What didn’t you like about the loam, what benefits do you anticipate by using just sand next time? And does that affect the germination rate?
There was a lot of rocks in it, and it kind of clumped up and hardened up in spots. I actually found a few chards of class, which I couldn't believe. I had used it before last winter to level before SOD and it was great.
In regards to the germination rate, that wouldn't be affected, but the Silica sand is so easy to work with, is perfect for leveling, never has any other material in it and it drains so well. The only downside is the cost.
Great job! Looking to do something similar for our high school field in Wisconsin. Right now, we have lots of weeds/crab grass growing on the infield, would you recommend spraying for weeds before you mow to 1” and dethach? You have this type of weed killer that supposedly kills the weeds/crab grass but not the actual grass. Thanks for the help!
I use Speedzone Southern for weeds, however it won't kill crab grass. I haven't found anything effective that will kill crabgrass, but not everything else.
Do you keep your players off the field during the fall? We do fall baseball where we are and don't get done until the end of October. What type of grass do you recommend for cold climate areas? GREAT VIDEO!!!
We are off it for about a month to a month and a half or so. Definitely use Perennial Rye or KBG for cold climate. You can even do a mixture of both.
Great Video! I know you didn't like the topsoil mix, but how much top soil did you have delivered for the infield?
I believe it was 4 tons, if I remember correctly. 55 bags of those bags, so need to do math conversion
Why do you like perennial rye for the field (eg as opposed to other types of grass, blends, etc.)?
Germinates fast, looks great!
What do you use to cut your straight edges? Walk behind edger, handheld shaft edger?
Regular edger
have you ever heard of rhizome split aeration, also called other names depending what state you're coming from? They look like thin ninja stars instead of plug aeration. You cut the runners in two directions and they sprout out faster than over seeding "Bermuda Grass"
Are you basically referring to verticutting?
@@CoachTooz no not as aggressive, and less stress to the turf. But yes that works well too, in the off-season
What height did you cut grass to prior to dethatching?
1". Sorry for the slow reply
how much sand is required for a project like this? I have a high school field in central Indiana that needs some love!
4-5 tons
@@CoachTooz thank you!
What was your height of cut at the end ?
1"
What would be your suggestion for amount of seed needed to overseed a baseball infield and outfireld, roughly 2acres. We are trying to contract out as we are new coaching staff for our team, and we have received different amount numbers from 100lbs(from former head coach) to 400lbs. Do you have any suggestions?
Depends upon type of seed. Email me coachmatuszak@gmail.com if you have specific questions or want help
what kind of seeds you use
Perennial Rye
It would be cool if we could hear words
You should turn up the volume, might help
This was a fantastic video but without a quality mic it was hard to understand and where music was added, Well, I had to give up on you demonstration. That was a disappointment because it could have been a classic tutorial.
Sorry about that. I'll work on getting a better mic!
Great video but why the masks ?
School required masks due to covid
@@CoachTooz outside ? Wow
@@Ove896 Woke
@@Wearedoom wow, do you even understand the meaning of woke? Pipe down pip squeak
Using plastic garbage bags to clean up organic material is super wack.
Never mow up the cores - rookie mistake .
Thanks for stopping by. Works for me, and I'll do it again this year.
@@CoachTooz robbing yourself of free nutrients
It made sense to me to mow up the cores specially if new top soil gets added
@@JuanRodriguez-qe7hk you mulch the cores
