For the Kid Trying to Be the Next Jeter: The Baseball Center

The Baseball Center has got you covered no matter what your batting cage needs are. The center has both baseball and softball indoor pitching machines ranging in speed delivery from 35mph to 75mph. With a Pro-Batter Machine on site (the virtual simulation video projection screen will make you think you’re in the pros) kids can simulate any pitch a pitcher can throw. Be sure to reserve in advance, bookings can be done online as well as on the phone. The Baseball center also offers elite instruction, year round programs, clinics, camps, and birthday parties.
