When a baseball family moves cross-country and there's nowhere to hit, you build your own, and that's exactly how this indoor batting cage in Eagle, ID came to be. Brian's family relocated from Washington to five private acres and put a serious cage in the barn, then decided to share it.

The cage

The cage runs 55 feet long, 14 feet wide, and 14 feet high inside a lighted barn, anchored by a HackAttack pitching machine that throws every pitch you'd want, with fastballs clocked at 97 mph. Baseballs, an L-screen, and hitting tees are all provided, and amenities include parking, lighting, music, and restroom access. Sessions run $40/hour.

Who it's for

This is a private setup suited to focused individual work or small-group reps, with room for up to four guests. Hitters wanting to see real velocity (and pitchers looking for a quiet place to work) will find it dialed in.

The host

"We are a baseball family," Brian says, and the five-acre property gives the cage genuine privacy. His motivation is simple and generous: "We would love to share our cage as we know there are no options in the Eagle and Star communities." What started as a family's own training space is now filling a real gap for the whole area.

Good to know

The barn is lighted and the five-acre lot means real privacy and easy parking. Because it's fully covered, Idaho winters never shut down a session, and the HackAttack is ready for everything from timing work to high-velocity reps.

For Eagle and Star families who've had to drive out of the area to find live pitching, this fills a real gap close to home. The HackAttack's velocity range makes it as useful for a high schooler timing up 90-plus as for a younger hitter working on contact. Booking is by the hour through the listing page, so it's simple to lock in a weekly reps slot or grab a session when the weather turns and the outdoor options disappear.
