Host Spotlight: Bryan's Indoor Bullpen in McLoud, OK

Bryan Tapley calls it Tap's Bullpen, and it's exactly the kind of cage a family builds and then shares. Set inside a shop in McLoud, Oklahoma, it's a comfortable, weather-proof place to hit year-round.

The cage

Tap's Bullpen sits inside a 40-by-55-foot shop laid with turf, with a cage running 50 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet high. Being indoors means it works no matter what the Oklahoma weather is doing. It's set up for both baseball and softball, and comes stocked with baseballs, softballs, and a hitting tee, plus lighting and a sound system. There's parking for 10-plus cars, an outside basketball court for little kids, and a play area in the back yard — so the whole family has somewhere to be. It runs a friendly $25/hour and holds up to 10 hitters.

The host

Bryan's a full-time Oklahoma City fireman, a former University of Central Oklahoma wrestler, and a father of four. "My oldest boy does hitting lessons and fielding lessons in our cage," he says. Sharing that space with other families is the CageList idea in a nutshell — a great cage shouldn''t sit idle when a hitter nearby wants to train.
