Batting Cages
Originally donated by past parent John Toth, our batting cage facility was transformed in 2022 into a fully enclosed, all-weather training space with the support of an anonymous donor. Climate control was generously provided by Mr. Reid and our Player Commitment Wall—highlighting the dedication of our athletes— were made possible by DRS Roofing and Rich Rao. This renovated facility offers a dependable space for skill development, giving players the opportunity to train and grow year-round, regardless of weather conditions.
