Host Spotlight: Nicole's Softball Batting Cage in Moreno Valley, CA

Nicole Alvarado — Nikki to most — built her Moreno Valley cage for her daughters, and now she's opened it up to every hitter in the area. "I have 3 daughters, 2 of them live for softball," she says, and this cage is proof of it.

The cage

This is a softball-first setup, and it's dialed in. It's a Batco cage measuring 36 feet long, 14 feet wide, and 15 feet high — plenty of room overhead. Inside you'll find a batter's box mat, a hitting tee, an Atec pro pitcher's practice backstop, a combo screen for protection, and a Jugs super softball pitching machine with a bucket of dimpled softballs ready to go. It's an outdoor cage with parking on site, priced at $35/hour for a private session that holds up to five.

The host

Nikki put this cage together for a simple reason: "I put together this cage for them to be able to practice their skills and improve their game." Now that same space is open to other families chasing the same thing. That's the whole CageList idea — a great cage shouldn''t sit idle when a hitter nearby wants their reps.
