Host Spotlight: Richard's Covered Batting Cage in West Covina, CA

Some of the best cages on CageList belong to people who just love the game — and Richard in West Covina is exactly that. He opened up his private, well-kept cage so hitters around the San Gabriel Valley have somewhere clean and reliable to get their reps in.

The cage

Richard's covered cage runs 35 feet long and 12 wide, so you're protected from the elements and can hit year-round. It's built for real work: a Jugs 2-wheel pitching machine that throws breaking balls, an L-screen, a hitting tee, plus clean baseballs and dimple balls on hand. Whether you want tee work, soft toss, front toss, or you crank the Jugs up to full speed, it covers it. There's great lighting for evening sessions, parking, a bathroom, seating, and music — and it goes for $40/hour. In Richard's words, it's "a clean environment, cage is always maintained."

The host

Richard's a lifer. "I've been playing baseball all my life and at 43 years young I still play amateur baseball," he says — and he's a travel-ball coach with two sons who play, so he spends plenty of his free time working with hitters. That's the exact kind of host CageList was built for: a baseball person opening up a great cage when it would otherwise sit empty.
