Overview

Batting cage facilities provide baseball and softball training including automated cages, pitching tunnels, and instruction.

With baseball participation strong and year-round training needed, facilities generate revenue of $200,000-$700,000 with 50-65% margins.

The business requires facility (8,000-15,000 sq ft), batting cage installation, pitching machines, turf, and safety netting.

Services include batting cage rentals, private instruction, team training, pitching lessons, memberships, and birthday parties.

Pricing typically $25-$50 per hour for cage rental.

Success factors include cage automation and efficiency, combining rentals with instruction revenue, off-season indoor training appeal, memberships for recurring income, and location in baseball-heavy areas.
