9 months agoI felt like both a participant and a spectator in a cherished tradition, as if I were sharing my love for the game with a new generation, hoping to inspire them just as I had been inspired. Each moment spent there felt like a celebration of not only the sport I love but also of the many lessons learned—about teamwork, perseverance, and the joy of playing for the sheer love of the game. Ultimately, filming at The Cages was more than just a video shoot; it was a beautiful homage to my lifelong passion for baseball, illuminating the profound impact it has had on my life, and rekindling the dreams of that little kid who just wanted to play ball.

a year agoThe location here isn't bad but the equipment is older. The machines do not consistently throw strikes, the batting tees are mostly broken or damaged, and the hitting surfaces in the cages are torn/ripped. This includes a 3 wheel machine that "shorts out" as you're using it. Gunner who is a coach their is a really good guy, but be careful with the owner Mike. He's fairly aggressive and has called high school coaches to damage athletes reputations if he's ever had an issue with them or their parent. It's like dealing with a local little league.... you give them a little authority/power and they don't know how to handle it. REPLY TO OWNER: I could tell you replied to the original post quickly based on the comments. 1. you state "it's the 1st time in the history of batting cages that a machine broke down". I hope you don't actually believe that. 2. you state you never contacted a coach to damage a kid's rep but then go on to say you DID contact a coach 3. you want a call to outline concerns, sub standard equip, etc.... although you actually acknowledged everything in the initial review in your reply. I'm sure it's not easy getting called out when you over step and under deliver.

2 years agoCoach Mike and staff are awesome! We took our son there for Baseball Camp over the summer and he loved it. He has done every camp since! We also signed our son up for private lessons from Coach Mike. He was very patient and kind. Coach Mike walked our son through each step of hitting and pitching to make sure he was doing everything correctly.

a year agoThis is coach Gunnar . I’ve worked in this business over 50 years and have seen over 30 facilities in the country and I’ve never seen one as good as this one! My experience with pitching machines goes back a long time. And the iron Mike is very reliable and used by MLB PLAYERS of today. Other 3 and 2 wheel machines are available upon request. The tanner tees are what we use and MLB PLAYERS and is the best on the market they’re easily fixable. Mike is as professional as I’ve ever seen of all facilities. He’s incredible with students. His knowledge of baseball and instructional foundations are similar to what I’ve seen in managers like Angels Manager Joe Maddon and Manager Terry Francona whom I’ve known in my professional career with the Mariners. As forThe turf where they may have been torn (but I’ve never seen any torn turf in our facility) has very high quality turf. The same used in MLB Batting cages. Thank you so much Mike for all you do! Thank you all the amazing instructors, Jackie, Rachel, Aubree, Team Coaches and true fans of the game. It’s truly an honor and privilege to be part of your team!
