Host Spotlight: Chris Jennings's Batting Cage in Pasadena, CA

If you want a backyard cage that's basically a full training lab, Chris Jennings in Pasadena is your guy — a perfect five-star rating and one of the most loaded setups we've seen.

The cage

Chris's cage runs 55 feet and is stocked deep: an Atec Casey machine that throws up to 100 mph and adjusts for curveballs, plus a soft-toss machine, a "Z" screen for front toss or overhand BP, leather balls with a ball cart for easy pickup, a two-sided bounce-back net for fielding, and a pitcher's plate with a 9-hole strike-zone target (up to 54' pony distance inside the cage, or a full 60'6" bullpen outside). Add shaded seating for parents, a quiet neighborhood, and optional team-practice and training-aid add-ons. It goes for $40/hour.

The host

"Love baseball and seeing kids learn the game," Chris says. He's got two sons who play and built the cage during COVID so they could keep training when the game shut down — and now he wants other players to get to use it too.

What hitters say

"The best, well-organized cage/yard I''ve ever used." — Jeremy
