Whether you need a retractable, stationary or customizable portable indoor batting cage system, together we can find a solution that works with your space.

Deciding on your indoor batting cage dimensions for softball & baseball can depend on the size of space you have available, your budget and the experience level and size of the players you accommodate.

The typical size of a batting cage net is 70 feet long by 14 feet wide by 12 feet high. This standard allows enough room for players to avoid creating back-swing contact with the netting.

When it comes to an athlete’s size, the distance between the pitcher’s mound and home plate can differ. For example, various mound-to-plate distances include 38, 44, 54 and about 60 feet, starting at a range for beginners up to professionals:

• Batting cage length: The standard length for an indoor batting cage is 70 feet. It’s an adequate amount of space for the pitcher to store equipment such as portable mounds, ball machines and ball carts. The length also allows for plenty of room between the pitcher and batter, according to particular regulations for different age groups.
  

• Batting cage width: Indoor baseball netting has a standard width between 12 and 14 feet. If a coach works with younger children, a 12-foot wide tunnel is ideal, although bat lengths and wing-spans can vary between kids. In other cases, a 14-foot wide cage is more common and comfortable for athletes of all sizes.
  

• Batting cage height: The typical height of batting netting is 12 feet. About one foot of extra mesh is necessary to sag on the ground to contain stray balls. So, 11 feet is available as playable height. The taller the cage, the better, as an athlete’s experience increases.
  

If you opt for an indoor batting cage design that has a shorter netting height, it can work in most situations. But be aware that shorter cages can reduce ball flight tracking for coaches dedicated to improving their players' technique. The mesh will knock down the ball quicker, preventing the player from knowing where to focus his or her hitting. Lower cage heights can also reduce the lifespan of the netting because of its proximity to the bat and ball.

Tunnels with shorter lengths may be ideal for coaches who want to work on soft-tossing for a player’s hand-eye coordination. The space is better for focusing on specific techniques and can also save money.

However, a larger cage is better for players to grow into. Teams can also use the extra space to store their equipment. Wider and taller batting cages allow players to track their ball flights more efficiently, helping them improve their batting.

Because repetition is key for baseball and softball athletes, they require an area where they can perform different routines over and over — baseball indoor batting cages allow them to do just that.

Proper batting cage installation and setup is crucial. When you rely on the experts for your baseball batting cage nets, you receive benefits such as:

• Tensioned bottom: Decrease the amount of excess slack within a cage’s netting to eliminate tripping, while also preventing balls from rolling underneath.
  

• Dividing net: Transform your softball or baseball batting cages into one or two areas to maximize your available space. A removable center divider can boost practicing capabilities without sacrificing safety.
  

• Open weave: The open weave material offers incredible visibility for coaches, teammates, spectators and parents who want to watch the action inside the cage.
  

• Recessed pole: When a bat comes in contact with a pitched ball, the bat sends it flying into the outfield, or batting cage, with a lot of strength behind it. To keep everyone inside the cage safe, you can rely on recessed poles, in our stationary cages, to reduce the rebound effect of batted balls.
  

• Unique soft toss area: The design of your cage becomes multi-functional with recessed poles that form exterior areas for athletes. Players can use the space for soft toss, even when others are inside the area.
