The StrikeZone features 3 Iron Mike Machines set to throw Slow (40 mph), Medium (65 mph), and Fast (85 mph).

These machines are fully automatic and hold 600 balls-no other person is needed to feed balls.

Unlike wheel machines, they feature an arm mechanism which reproduces the actual motion of a live pitcher, allowing batters to work on their timing as well as mechanics.

We rigorously maintain our pitching machines so they are always operational and functioning properly, unlike many outdoor cages whose machines are regularly out of service and jam frequently.

 

      

NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED

Cage Rentals
A cage rental guarantees exclusive use of any given cage(s) at a specified day and time. All of the cages can be rented on an hourly basis. The 72' and 55' cages rent for $60 per hour and include the use of a pitching machine. The 40 ft. cage rents for $60 per hour and does not include the use of a machine. Note: Cage rental allows for use of the specific cage rented only-no other portion of the facility may be used. Players will be required to pay a $20 guest fee if they are in cages other than those specifically rented.

For groups of 7 or more it is recommended that you consider renting at least 2 cages to get the most out of your practice time.

Now Available: Guest Passes
Individuals can practice as walk-ins for a guest fee of $20.00 per hour. Restrictions may apply during peak hours (we reserve the right to limit guest admittance due to high traffic in the cages). The 72' and 40' cages may not always be available to all walk-in guests, due to high traffic, reservations, rentals and lessons. Use of the Jugs machines in the 72' cage by non-members may require a $60/hr. cage rental fee during peak use times.

Please note that all cage time is shared time and exclusive use of a given cage is granted only via private/semi-private instruction or cage rental.
