Host Spotlight: Cesar's Backyard Batting Cage in Santa Maria, CA

Some of the best hosts on CageList aren't facilities at all — they're coaches. Cesar in Santa Maria is exactly that, and his private backyard cage is the kind of quiet, no-frills spot where hitters just get to work.

The cage

Cesar's cage runs a full 50 feet long, 12 wide and 12 high — plenty of room for baseball and softball hitters looking for extra reps or team-free practice. It's an outdoor setup with LED lighting, so evening sessions after work or school are no problem. Inside you'll find an L-screen, a batting tee, and a softball bullpen mound, which makes it a genuinely good option for fastpitch pitchers who need somewhere to throw. Baseballs and softballs are available as add-ons, there's parking on-site, and the whole thing goes for just $30/hour — one of the more affordable private cages you'll find anywhere.

The host

Cesar keeps his own description short and to the point: "Family of 6, baseball/softball. Playing, coaching, training since '91." That's decades in the game, and it shows in how the cage is set up — built by someone who actually knows what hitters and pitchers need.
