Invest in the Airbnb of Baseball
CageList is the first marketplace for batting cage rentals — turning idle backyard cages and training facilities into bookable inventory for a year-round, weather-proof sport. We're building the category, and we're open to conversations with investors who want in early.
A real marketplace, already live
These numbers update live from the platform — not a mockup, not a waitlist. Real cages, real coverage, real bookings.

Why now
A fragmented, offline market
Finding a place to hit means group texts, gatekept school gyms, and cages that sit empty most of the week. There has never been a marketplace that makes that supply bookable.
Year-round, weather-proof demand
Unlike field sports, hitting practice happens indoors and off-season. Players, parents, teams, and coaches need reps 12 months a year — that's repeat, recession-resilient demand.
Idle supply, ready to unlock
Backyard cages and training facilities are already built. CageList turns that dormant capacity into income for hosts and availability for players — classic marketplace liquidity.
The product is shipped, not slideware
CageList is a working two-sided marketplace with payments, booking, and trust flows live today.
Real inventory, nationwide
Thousands of backyard cages and training facilities, searchable by location and bookable by the hour.
Payments built in
Stripe Connect powers a dual-fee model — a host commission plus a guest fee — with all-in pricing at checkout.
Booking + trust flows
Request-to-book, waivers, reviews, and safety tooling ship today — the operational spine of a two-sided marketplace.
From the founder
“I started CageList because getting quality reps shouldn't depend on who you know or what your school owns. There's a cage sitting idle a few miles from almost every player in America — and no simple way to book it. We're building the marketplace that changes that, the same way Airbnb did for spare rooms. We've got real inventory, real bookings, and a clear path to owning how this sport trains.”
