Baseball has been America's pastime since the sport was started. Baseball is a game played on a diamond with 2 teams of 9 players and one ball. A pitcher pitches to the batter and the batter hits the ball hoping to score runs. Batting skills are a pivotal skill in baseball as the only time a team can score runs in baseball is by hitting the ball.
To help a batter work on their own batting skills, there are batting cages. A batting cage is an enclosed rectangle with a pitcher or a pitching machine at one end and a batter at the other. This cage is enclosed to help with the retrieval of the balls. The baseballs are kept close and are not lost.
Batting cages are both indoor and outdoor. Outdoor cages like the rectangle design are most often found near baseball diamonds. These are used during baseball practice where the players work on their skills. A pitching machine makes this feat so much easier. The machine is placed on one end with the batter at the other end. The balls are thrown at the same constant speed and retrieval of the balls is made easy by the cage enclosure.
Other versions of outdoor cages are of a slightly smaller scale. There are cages that can be purchased for the backyard. There are mini cages which is a smaller version of the enclosed rectangle design. There also are solo trainers. This is basically a stand up net with a ball dangling from the top and you hit the ball at the net. The net stops the ball from flying too far and the string the ball is dangling from keeps the ball close as well.
Indoor versions are available. These batting cages are usually in buildings that are set up only to be batting cages. On one wall are many pitching machines lined up and on the other end is where the batters go in. The floors of these types of facilities are sloped so after the ball is hit, it follows the floor sloped and is returned back to the machine for continuous batting.
Pitching machines can be used by anyone of any age or skill because the speeds of the machine can be adjusted.
Baseball has always been America's pastime and will continue on this path. This sport is played in every city and town across the county. Batting cages allow baseball players and anyone looking for afternoon fun to develop their skill and enjoy baseball at the same time. - 31492
