The building
An old tool warehouse with nets in it
Dana Whitcombe and Luis Arroyo coached town league teams for years before they found a warehouse with a ceiling high enough for a fly ball.
The building on Foundry Road made hand tools until the 1980s. Now it holds three batting cages, each 70 feet long, a pitching lane with a mound and a lobby with benches, a water fountain and a rack of loaner bats and helmets.
Four coaches teach here, two for hitting and two for pitching. Each one starts by watching, then works on one thing at a time.
The building is heated, has free parking by the loading dock and a step-free entrance on the side.
How we run the place
Slow first
Every machine starts slow. Nobody gets a fast pitch they did not ask for.
Straight talk
Coaches tell you what they see. No promises about teams, speed or the future.
Room for teams
From November to March the whole floor can be yours for 90 minutes.
Want an hour with a coach?
Sixty minutes of hitting or pitching is $70.
