Set on a quiet private drive, this indoor batting cage in North Branch, MI is the kind of tucked-away, covered home setup that lets a hitter get real reps in without ever worrying about the weather or an audience, just you, the machine, and the work.

The cage

The tunnel is covered and turf-lined, equipped with a baseball pitching machine, an L-screen, a hitting tee, and a soft-toss station, everything you need to move through a complete session, from tee work to soft toss to live machine reps. There's a seating area, LED lighting for evening sessions, and a sound system to set the mood. Sessions run $45/hour, and if you'd rather not haul your own, you can use the host's baseballs for a small add-on so you can just show up and hit.

Who it's for

Rated extremely private and set up specifically for individual sessions, this cage suits youth and high school hitters working solo or with a parent or coach. With room for up to four guests, it's ideal for focused one-on-one work (a place to iron out a swing without distractions) rather than full team practices, which the house rules don't allow.

The host

Jack Enen keeps this a clean, well-maintained private setup on his own property, with a U-shaped driveway and space to park out by the barn. It's the sort of place a family builds for their own hitters and then shares with the area's players, a home cage run with care, not a commercial rental churning bookings.

Good to know

The cage is covered and lit, so it's a dependable year-round option through long Michigan winters. Parking is easy on the private drive, out by the barn, with about five spots. House rules keep it respectful and simple: no cleats, food, seeds, gum, glass, pets, alcohol, smoking, loud music, or team practices, this one is built for individual reps, and it does that well.
