Attention baseball lovers! There’s a new batting cage in West Valley, and this one has some unique features. We tried out The Cage Baseball and found it to be fun, family-friendly, and great practice for baseball players. Anyone can find something to do at The Cage.
All of our boys love baseball and play competitively. So when we got a chance to go to The Cage Baseball, we were excited. We took our own batting gloves and bats, but they also have plenty of choices of bats for all sizes and skill levels. You do not have to be a baseball player to enjoy your time at The Cage. They have everything you need, including a tee for those needing extra help.
The Cage is a fully interactive batting simulator. You can play multiple games, have a home run derby, or see who can hit the longest moonshot. There are also several adjustments that you can make to the settings to level the playing field for everyone.
First, you can choose any ballpark that you’d like to play in. This includes Major League Parks, college parks, and other places throughout the world. We played at Fenway Park in Boston, and at BYU’s field. Then, set your level from amateur to veteran. The level adjusts the dimensions of the park. So, at Fenway Park in the highest level, the dimensions of the field are just like the real stadium– 310 down the line, and 420 to dead center field. But if you play on a lower level, those distance as much shorter, allowing less powerful hitters to compete with Dad.
You can even set a “boost” level, which makes your hit travel farther. With full boost, our record was a home run hit just under 900 feet! Mom really loved being on rookie and having a high boost so she could just hit homers all night long. Finally, you can adjust the speed and angle of your pitch so that it is just right for each player.
Once you have the settings and players ready, hitting starts. Arrows on the screen converge on the pitching machine, and when they meet, it sends a ball right over the plate. Take your best swing and watch the result on the screen. There is a huge backdrop screen, as well as a TV screen outside the cage for other viewers. Your ball is tracked and depending on the mode, you’ll have a single, double, triple, or a home run!
This is a great venue for baseball fans. It is also great practice for teams or small groups of players. There are couches for those waiting to hit, and screens to watch, so it makes watching and waiting super fun. They offer lots of daily deals, so make sure to take advantage. The Cage Baseball is also on the Get Out membership, so if you have a pass, make sure to use your visit.
