What to Look for in a Batting Cage
Pitching Machine Speeds
Match the machine speed to the player's level. Youth players (8–12) typically start at 40–55 mph. High school players should train at 70–85 mph. Ask the facility what speeds their machines offer and whether they have arm-style machines for realistic timing work.
