The Cage features six rental lanes, including three with automated pitching machines capable of fast-pitch, slow-pitch and baseball speeds. It also offers two hitting simulators that provide players with real-time performance data.

The Cage is independently owned and operated by Jerry and Erin Book.

Jerry Book, who has coached youth baseball for years, said the facility is founded on Christian values with a focus on both skill development and character.

In addition to lane rentals, The Cage offers memberships, private lessons and softball camps. Equipment such as bats and helmets are provided for guest use. Memberships are not required for public rentals.

Hours: 2-9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, 2-8 p.m. Sunday
