New York’s a baseball city, and both of its teams count some of the most passionate fans in the sport. Is your child one of them? Make sure your little slugger’s home run swing is ready by summer by hitting up one of NYC’s top batting cages. Located throughout the city, we’ve got the best spots for batting practice teed up and ready for you to hit out of the park. Go on and click through — spring is the time to swing!

For Bronx Bombers: Uptown Sports Complex

To practice inside, head to to the Uptown Sports complex in the Bronx. The facility is home to both automatic pitching machines (in the"Iron Mike Cage"), which pitch baseballs and softballs at three speeds. The complex also offers long and short tunnels if you want to pitch the ball yourself. Cages and tunnels can be rented by the half hour, or just buy tokens, which get you 10 pitches. ($2/1; $5/3, $10/6, etc.)
