My Batters Box

Awesome facility and group of coaches. Unlike the other overly commercial facilities out there, this group truly cares about the kids… Not just in improving their skills, but growing them as young men and women. Glad we found them!

Great place to take your children to learn baseball and softball, good instructors, friendly staff. 5 stars

My review is based on my sons interaction with staff. They are horrible and disrespectful to the kids and talk to them like they are ignorant. For a place that is in business to help kids, this is not a place I will take my son or recommend to his team.

My review is only based upon an adult trying to take some slow pitch softball batting practice. I know nothing of the hitting instruction for kids that takes place in this facility.
I drove 30 minutes to this facility because it is the only one I could find that allows you to buy tokens for a certain number of swings. I only want to take about 50 swings per visit and return a couple of days later to repeat. Every other batting practice facility I found requires you to reserve the cage for no less than 30 minutes at $ 25. per visit. Unless you are bringing 4 or 5 other people with you, this is not realistic. No one person can take 500 swings at a time.
I found the only slow pitch cage at «My Batters Box» to be extremely small. The pitching machine is bolted to the ground and all pitches land 6 inches inside of the plate for a right handed batter. There is no adjustment possible. The problem is, if you are a right handed batter, you hit the net on your backswing every time you swing. The top of the net drapes down so low, some of the pitches hit the net before arriving to the plate. This did not work for me and I asked for, and received, a refund for the money I spent. They do require you to retrieve your own balls and «re-​load» the machine when you are through. If you are a left handed batter, you will have better luck. Right handed batters do not bother.

May not be the most high tech or fancy of facilities, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. You still have to retrieve your own balls, but since this is the country, we have manners and you don’t have to pick up the previous user’s balls. They use nets instead of cages, so you’ll have to lift and duck under. No big deal, just a heads up. No membership to buy and you can call ahead to see what’s available and reserve if need be. You can also just walk in if cages are open.
Ah’ll be bock…
