The Futures App alternative built only for baseball and softball
The Futures App is a facility and club platform. It combines registration, payments, facility booking, lessons and memberships with video analysis and a drill library, and it leans toward clubs and travel teams more than cage rental. It is a separate company from Baseline, which was formerly called StatStak.
CageList is built only for baseball and softball. No other sports.
Switching this season? Featured is free through March 31, 2027, no card. When you want online booking, it's 5% all-in.

The first minute of booking.
As of September 2026.
We have not tested The Futures App's booking flow ourselves, so we do not compare what a family sees before an account. Those cells say Not checked.
On CageList a parent picks a space, a day and a time and sees the all-in price with no account. They sign in, verify a phone and sign the waiver only at the end, when they pay.
