Host Spotlight: Kelly Pleman's Batting Cage in Canyon Country, CA

Canyon Country's Kelly Pleman runs one of the most thoughtfully equipped cages on CageList — with a perfect five-star record to match.

The cage

The centerpiece is a Junior Hack Attack machine set 46 feet out, throwing fastballs, curves, sliders, splits and knuckleballs up to 70 mph (it plays like 90+), paired with Driveline Smash Factor balls so nobody leaves with sore hands or a dinged-up bat. Add a Tanner tee, L-screen soft toss, hitting plyos and weighted balls, and a full arm-care kit — Jaeger bands, wrist weights, throwing plyos, and recovery gear. There's a Pocket Radar to dial in speed, plus seating, a basketball hoop, foosball, and a big speaker. Sessions are $45/hour.

The host

Kelly's a self-described "hardcore Dodgers fan and proud parent of three active boys." What began as a backyard skate ramp became a baseball training zone when the boys fell for the game — and on a college coach's advice, she added the Hack Attack and Smash Factor balls, then built a plyo wall for strength and arm care.

What hitters say

"Incredibly friendly and accommodating. He helped with the batting machine, and the boys had a great practice. I would rent again." — Eric

"Great cage, extremely helpful and a lot of different options to get your work in!" — Leonel
