After plenty of work, the garage indoor batting cage in Heiskell, TN is finally finished, and it's exactly the kind of home setup that turns "someday" into "let's go hit tonight."

The cage

The full-size cage runs 55 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 12 feet tall, with a fastpitch softball pitching machine, a hitting tee, an extra net for safety, and plenty of 11-inch softballs and 12-inch machine balls on hand. There's a restroom, LED lighting, a sound system, a seating area, and parking. It can even double as a golf driving-range area, with a couple sets of kids' clubs and softer balls available. All that for just $20/hour.

Who it's for

It's a great fit for softball players and families near Powell, Halls, and Knoxville, with room for up to 10. Baseball players are welcome too. Rachel suggests bringing your own baseballs while the on-site supply grows.

The host

Rachel built this herself and is starting at an easygoing $25-an-hour rate “to see how everything goes and gauge interest.” She'll send the keypad code and exact address once you book, a personal, welcoming touch from someone genuinely proud of what she's created in her own garage.

What hitters say

“Took my wife here for her birthday. We had a blast. Very private, indoors, and easy to find. Host was easy to work with and extremely nice.”. Josh

Good to know

The cage is indoor and private, with a keypad entry code sent after booking. There's a restroom on site and parking out front. Message the time slot you want and you're set.
