The Utility of the Portable Batting Cages and Pitching Machines
The Utility of the Portable Batting Cages and Pitching Machines
By Harry S. Sampley
With the growing popularity of baseball and softball most of the coaches find it difficult to be able to cater to training needs of all the teenagers and adults wanting to be trained in this sport. To facilitate mass training the coaches and organizations have to utilize the pitching machines and batting cages.
While the commercial pitching machine is able to facilitate the training of teams, the batting cage makes sure that the players don't have to run around behind the ball when they should actually be spending time in practicing batting.
Both the pitching machines and batting cages come in a lot of different varieties and price ranges and depending on the preference of the buyer, he or she can be sure to have a wide variety of options within his/her budget.
For those who travel frequently it is always better to go in for the portable versions of these equipments. Moreover the utility of the machine is actually beneficial when people buy these machines after keeping in mind whether these pieces of equipment would be used for personal or commercial use.
While people finding it exciting to buy the machine and cage by looking through them in a store, buying them online can help people get additional discounts and save them a lot of money. However, people buying these products online have to make sure that they are well-versed with the quality and durability of these products and manufacturers so that their not being able to touch and feel the material does not amount to their buying low grade equipment.

Baseball Coaching Digest - Home Batting Cages - Two Misbeliefs Concerning Baseball Batting Cage Use
Baseball Coaching Digest - Home Batting Cages - Two Misbeliefs Concerning Baseball Batting Cage Use
By Nick Dixon
Two Batting Cage Misbeliefs that baseball people need to know about are (1) Many people belive that a Batting Cage must be long for it to be usable for all ages. That is not true. (2) Many people believe that a batter must see 75 miles per hour pitches to receive maximum benefit from cage work. That is not true.
This article discusses how many buyers are mistaken or misled in the buying or building a new baseball batting cage. The article outlines Two Batting Cage Misbeliefs that are simply not true:
1. Batting Cage Misbelief Number One - A Cage must be long for it to be usable for all ages.
This is simply not true. Players of all ages, even the high school and collegiate levels can benefit from batting practice in cages that are 35 to 50 feet in length. A cage does not have to be 70 feet long for it to beneficial to advanced players. The reason for this is that long-toss, front-toss and various other batting practice drills can be performed at distances under the regular pitching distances. When batters take swings at pitches thrown at 35 feet, the batter is seeing and reacting to pitches that simulate higher speeds at the normal pitching distance. The player must perform the swing with the proper trigger, separate, and load actions. All of these elements of the swing must be done at the same speed, rhythm, and timing as under normal game hitting.
2. Batting Cage Misbelief Number Two - A batter must see 75 miles per hour pitches to receive maximum benefit.
Most hitters at all levels of play including high school, college, and pros would rather see and hit live arm pitches at 45 miles per hour at 30 feet than pitches thrown by a machine at 75 miles per hour. Live-arm batting practice is batting practice thrown by a person not a machine. We must remember that advanced batters benefit most from seeing pitches thrown by a person. The batter must pick-up the pitcher arm-slot, the pitcher release point and time the speed of the pitch thrown. When a person is throwing batting practice the speed and location of every pitch can be changed. It is also a fact that many people are not adept at throwing strikes at longer distances. However, most people can throw an accurate pitch for a strike from 30and 40 feet distances. The batter gets more work in because more pitches are hittable. Not as much time and effort is wasted by with bad pitches out of the strike zone. The shorter distance makes the workout more efficient.
What does this all mean to a potential batting cage buyer?
For the average home user shorter batting cage is suitable for all drills, batting practice, and applications that you will need for your player to be successful through the high school level. I think it is important to realize that the system you buy will be used for a variety of batting drills. The function of the net is safety, ball containment, and practice efficiency. The batting net is no better than the parent or coach that dedicates time for its use. If you use it, you will experience incredible results. It will be a wise investment. Kids can not use the cage without parental or adult supervision and participation.
I hope that you found this article useful and informative. You may find more like it at the Baseball Coaching Digest and at the Youth Baseball Digest. Thanks for reading my article. Have a great day. Nick

How To - Baseball & Batting Cage Netting

A Bit of Advice on Purchasing Your Batting Cage Net
http://baseballtips.com/batting-cages... All Nets are not created equal... and you don't want to buy this stuff twice!
Price only isn't where you stop shopping... compare type of material (nylon should cost more) & its strength for instance (#36 will outlast a #21) All nets look good right out of the box ...but the true value, the cost you will pay is based on years of service... like ballplayers...lol!
Then, the internet gives you plenty of choices but unfortunately, some may "fudge" on the true strength and weight of your net... There's just a very low price without concern for repeat business.
As a consumer, how would you know? How do you know a good net from a bad net?
Now that's a tough one... your buying decision may come down to whether or not you feel the company is trustworthy and your own gut feelings.
And you just wanted a batting cage... thanks for reading.
Hope it helps you.
