Host Spotlight: Daniel's Backyard Batting Cage in Hicksville, NY

Long Island hitters, take note: Daniel's backyard cage in Hicksville, New York is a wide, well-equipped lane that makes it easy to get quality swings in without leaving the neighborhood or booking a crowded facility.

The cage

Daniel's outdoor cage runs 55 feet long, a generous 15 feet wide, and 12 feet high — and that extra width really matters, giving you room to move, set up, and swing comfortably without feeling boxed in. It's built for baseball, with a baseball pitching machine so you can face live speed, an L-screen to protect whoever's helping out, a hitting tee for focused tee work, plenty of baseballs provided, and a baseball bullpen mound so pitchers can get their reps in too. There's a sound system on site if you like a little music while you hit. It's a private backyard cage, so the space is yours and your group's for the whole session — no waiting, no sharing. Sessions run $40/hour, which is a solid rate for a fully-loaded cage in the New York area.

The host

Daniel opened up his private backyard cage to hitters in the Hicksville area, giving Long Island players a dependable, well-equipped spot to train on their own schedule instead of driving all over the island for a decent lane.
