Ever wonder what’s in that “infield dirt”?

Taking into consideration a major league team’s budget and facilities and the access to water, irrigation, and drainage in the base beneath the infield skin, the ideal major league infield skin mixture is primarily sand, which makes up 50-70 percent of the total, with the rest comprising a mixture of silt and clay. The silt-to-clay ratio is between 0.5 and 1.0, ideally just below 1.0. An infield with too much sand can be dry and irregular, and an infield with too much clay will be too hard and clumpy.
