Our main goal was to provide a quality teaching environment with professional instruction to enhance the baseball and softball experience for players at all levels and help them reach their goals. In setting forth on the journey to accomplish this vision, D-BAT opened its original location in a small facility in North Dallas with 6 employees – D-BAT believed that the best way to teach the game was by getting into the details of baseball and softball with each and every player and instructing them as individuals.

2 months agoWhen you go to bed, you get what you get.The Garland Facilities is probably the nicest one I’ve seen in the east side of Dallas and up north. It would probably be the one in Melissa.But this one, definitely could use a little attention on the maintenanceA decent pitching machine is cage rent only and it’s pricey so then you’re left with the coin operated machine switch, barely fit a basic pitching profile that you would need for practice50 miles an hour ball balls were too high in both cages that were available60 miles an hour, still too high.A neighboring parent suggested using 70 and told me that it would come down lower, but on the cage we were at, when you push 70, the pitching machine with malfunction and you’d have to go get your credit backSure would be nice if these facilities were better maintainedWish they were as nice as the one in MELISSA

3 weeks agoSeriously Disappointed at D-Bat TodayAlright, let me tell you, today was hands down the worst experience I've ever had at any D-Bat location. I'm still pretty annoyed about it.I walked up to the front desk, ready to hit some balls, and what do I see? Five kids just glued to their phones. I stood there, waiting for someone to even acknowledge me, hoping for a simple "hey there!" or "how can I help?" Instead, after what felt like forever, one of them finally looks up and just goes, "whatcha need?" Seriously?So, I asked for two credits for the slowpitch machine. I swiped one credit, and the machine just... died. Lights on, but no balls coming out. I peeked in the little window and saw four balls just sitting there, not moving.Back I go to the front desk, telling them the machine isn't working. No "oops, sorry about that!" No "let me take a look." The guy just grabs some keys, still on his phone, slowly walks over to the machine, gives it one turn with the key, and casually says, "it should be good now."The whole thing was a total letdown. No apologies, no real help, just a bunch of people who clearly didn't care. Not the D-Bat experience I'm used to at all.

9 months agoDBAT Addison is a great location. From their camps to their baseball equipment very pleased. Our son has been taking batting lessons from Luke Knight for the past 6 months. He is a blessing to us in so many ways. Callan has progressed tremendously & the instruction he has received has turned him into a confident, talented, and powerful hitter.

3 months agoI hate to be this kind of person, but this location really needs to fix some things with their machine. I've been coming here for years, but after this time I won't be coming back for a while. The softball machine is practically unhittable. I had the speed set to 50 mph for softball, and even after trying to adjust the height , I was practically standing in front of the batters box and in the middle of the cage before I could even possibly make contact with the ball. Baseball seemed to work fine, but the softball machine was unbearable. Along with this, only one machine was operating at the time. I understand machines go down, but if you do have operating machines, they need to work for both sports, and not to the point where I have to stand in the others batters box 12 feet away from the machine just to make contact. (And this isn't the first time something has been wrong with the softball machines either.) I tried to talk to someone on my way out, but no one was at the front desk to talk to, so I just left. I really hope they get things fixed for all the girls who wanna practice their swings, but I was definitely extremely annoyed by my experience and won't be coming back for a while.
