Host Spotlight: Chris's 4 States Sports Cages in Neosho, MO

Chris and his wife Dawn run 4 States Sports in Neosho, Missouri, where two covered, lighted outdoor cages have been helping build young athletes for the better part of 30 years.
The cage
There are two outdoor cages here, each a generous 70 feet long by 13 feet wide, both covered and well-lit so you can hit any time you need, day or night. They're set up for baseball and softball alike: there's a mound for baseball, a mat for softball pitching, z-screens for protection while soft-tossing to batters, and a pitching machine on hand if you want it. Balls, bats, and helmets are all provided, so you can genuinely show up empty-handed and get straight to work. There's a bathroom and parking on site to round things out. At $30/hour, it's a serious, purpose-built training environment at a backyard price — and with two cages running, there's usually room to get in when you need it.
The host
Chris and Dawn's focus is clear: "We are Dawn and Chris Garrett, owners of 4 States Sports. Our focus is training young athletes." With roughly three decades of building athletes behind them, they know what a good training space needs. Their cages are used mostly by their private coaches and athletes, but they warmly welcome outside hitters to come in too.
Book it — or list your own
If you're near Neosho and you need somewhere to hit, book Chris's cage here and go to work. Somewhere else? Find a batting cage near you and get in the box.
And if you've got a cage of your own sitting idle, Chris is a great example of what's possible. List your cage on CageList and see what it could earn.
