Brickyard Cages

I have been playing baseball my whole life… I have been around many fields and different facilities… THIS PLACE IS COOL!!! Very clean and well put together… Everything seems custom made to fit and has a place… I like how we were able to use the iron mike pitching machines or slide the L-​Screen out and throw live to each other with real baseballs… In the middle of our hitting the workers/​instructors came over and asked if everything was ok and if we needed anything… Sure didn’t expect that at a batting cage… We will be back

I’ve never been to a batting cage before But we’ve been here twice and this place is great. We made reservations ahead of time to use the slow pitch machine so that I can practice for softball. The first time the machine was broken so we got extra time for manually filling it ourselves. The second time it was still broken but we didn’t get extra time. I guess it matters who is working that day.

We have a 9 year old son who is an avid baseball player. My husband is currently deployed for 2 years so all of the baseball stuff is left to me (which I know little about). I brought my son to the brickyard for a catchers clinic and the coach running it, Andrew Nist, far exceeded our expectations. He was knowledgable, organized and really met the player’s needs. My son walked out more confident than ever and even rocked his game that weekend. I’m so grateful to have met Coach Nist and we were excited to sign up for more lessons in the future. :)

Came here for the very first time, and i loved it.
my husband loved it here better than boomers or fun for all.
They have excellent customer service here.
We will be coming here from now on!
I highly recommend this place. Specially with kids too…

Such a great place! The two guys running it were super chill and helpful. Fun time for a good price.

Brickyard is one of the cleanest and well ran batting cages in San Diego. The machines are top notch along with their staff and instructors as well. The one thing I respected is they always politely ask you to pick up the balls and place them back where they came from when I stepped into the cage. This helps teach the kids that use the facility about responsibility and cleaning up after themselves.

As a former collegiate athlete, I’ve trained in a lot of facilities. Brickyard is definitely one of the more, functional, maintained, and up to speed venues I’v ever been in. Their nets and equipment are all top of the line and the staff is solid. It seemed as though most the guys working there had some type of collegiate or pro level background, which is very crucial.
Matters aside, I took my nephew and a couple of his teammates in for an hour to prep them before a tournament. We had a blast. What a huge difference it makes to have access to nice facility. The staff was helpful and I was able to provide my boys with some quality instructional time.
Lastly, I noticed a couple Unilocalers complaining about having to pick up the balls. I guess I can see where they are coming from if they haven’t been around the game long enough to understand. Sorry, but big whoopty doo haha. I was required to pick up balls my ENTIRE baseball career. It’s part of the structure, experience, and discipline. Anyway, I highly recommend taking your kids or team to Brickyard for quality reps. I heard the individual lessons and summer camps are worth it too. Even if you are just a dude wanting to take your girlfriend in for 30 mins, this is the place to be!

This place is awesome! It’s clean, friendly/​helpful staff, and they have a lot of bats to choose from and practice with. They have baseball and softball (slow and fast pitch!) I went to brush up on my swing before starting a new softball season. 200 swings later I was hurting! Chris was super helpful and also knows a great deal about baseball in general. This is definitely a kid friendly place with lessons and camps and good fundamental baseball/​softball skills being taught here. If you’re looking for some batting practice or a fun place to bring the kids, I would check it out!

Brickyard is a great place for kids to have some fun, or gain skills. The facility is well maintained and staff are very helpful and friendly!

Clean, friendly and fun. Not much more you can ask for.
Haven’t been to a batting cage since I was a young buck in T-​Ball. Staff was polite and helped me and my buddy get set up. We swung away till our arms were sore which happened faster then I expected. I guess i’m not young anymore :(
It was a fun way to spend an afternoon and would go back again.

Came here with high expectations but got terribly disappointed. Although me and my buddy were the only ones there, the guy working would not let us use one of their wooden bats and made us pick up the balls when we were done. He was just sitting there on his computer but wanted us to do his job. He also informed us that these batting cages were for people on teams which we thought was lame to say. Just bad service. Hope the place goes out of business. business.

I came into Brickyard cages on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30 PM. I was able to jump right in a cage and hit off pitches at 80 mph. I believe there are four normal size cages and two or three youth cages with additional space for fitness conditioning. Pretty simple stuff. They had helmets and lots of bats that I could choose from.
The staff was nice and friendly, they accommodated my requests and one if them even took a cell phone video of my swing so I could break it down later. I had a great experience. I had the cage for a total of 30 minutes. I would definitely go back and I have no reason not to request this location to my friends.

Excellent Staff!!! Our opening day got rained out so my son’s team went to the batting Cages to get some practice in. This happened to be our son’s birthday and we had Big plans to have his birthday cake and party at the field for the big day. Well thanks to the great staff at Brickyard Cages we were able to serve the cake and pizza in a room in the back. They really saved the day and made our experience here GREAT. Not only do they have an EXCELLENT staff but this place is a great place to take your kids on a rainy day. I had a blast. Thanks again and I will be sending everyone to you guys. See you soon.

Staff is courteous, friendly and knowledgable. Place is well kept. Nick was outstanding.

My son started Pony ball this year and instead of the pitching machine, he was now having live pitches to hit. Needless to say, he was struggling… BAD! I went through most of the season as one of the assistant coaches and watching my son get so frustrated and upset because of his performance.
After hearing him say he hated baseball for the 10^th time, I knew I had to do something to improve his game and rebuild his confidence. I signed him up for summer camp at the Brickyard and immediately started getting emails for $ 20 hitting clinics for my son. An hour for $ 20 with a max of 5 kids is such a deal these days that I couldn’t pass it up. After the first lesson with Nick (amazing coach) he started crushing the ball in games. Nick worked on his stance and grip and overnight, he was hitting the ball. Other coaches were amazed with his success that they moved him up in the batting order and my sons confidence was sky high.
I just want to give a big thanks out to Nick and the Brickyard for helping my son and bringing him back to loving baseball. He is enrolled in two camps this summer and looks forward to every morning when I take him to the Brickyard. Thanks again!

Use to love this place… but they have had a change in staff and it is not the same. The whole vibe is off and it is not nearly as fun as it use to be. I miss the old staff. I don’t mind paying a premium price — but only if you are going to get premium service… and I have to pick up my own balls… jut not worth it.

Without a doubt, the prettiest batting cages I’ve been to. Also one of the few cages that has L screens, so your buddy can pitch it, if you like that sort of action.
For such a pretty place, 2 stars seems harsh, but the bad out weighs the pretty.
This place is on the expensive side, and like others have said, filling your own pitching machine is lame. Self feeding pitching machines is pretty simple batting cage technology. Even places with bumper boats have those.
The other reason why I’m not a fan, the cages them selves are tiny. On half of my swings, my bat hit the fence post, not cool.

It didn’t really do me much good, but I popped in here to brush up on my swing before taking BP at Petco Park the other day. Never thought I’d be tired from a batting cage, but when you get a half hour of hacks for $ 24 it can happen.
It’s a pretty good deal considering you’re able split with a friend by simply flipping a switch and changing hitters. They also allow you to adjust the speed of the pitches so if you’re ready for some heat you can have it pretty easily.
There’s bats, helmets, and even batting gloves that you can borrow making it simple for all to partake even if not well equip. Lessons with instructors are also available so whether you’re triple A or just an asshole with some time to kill they’ve got you covered.

No big deal, but I used to be a stud baseball player back in my high school days. At times I brag about knocking dingers at Fallbrook High and it reminds me of the desperate flashbacks experienced by Al Bundy from Married With Children or Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. It’s sad, really… but since I stopped playing ball as a 17 year old spring chicken, the only rawhide I’ve taken swings at have been of the soft variety with middle aged office workers at company softball outings. That is, until I dipped into Brickyard with S. Horse
yesterday evening for ½ hour of batting cage fun.
Brickyard is a new spot taking up residency in the industrial zone along Morena. Not sure what was there before, but there really isn’t a better location for a batting cage. It’s an easy jaunt from interstate 5, there’s plenty of parking, and I suppose the price is right, but I really have no barometer of comparison.
I didn’t like idea of having to shag my own balls to refill the pitching machine. Not only was it my least favorite part of baseball practice, but it takes a good 5 – 7 minutes to collect all of the balls which cuts into your batting time. Had to refill the machine twice in 30 minutes, so if my math is correct, we really only had about 20 minutes of actual cage activity. A little whack, but hey — I still had fun.

Pretty nice place to hip up if you want to do some indoor batting. My boyfriend & I went during the day on Friday. It wasn’t busy, but they did have a group of kids their playing in their own area. Like a mini summer camp I think. The employee set us up in a cage with some bats and helmet. Showed us where the power button was for the machine and batters up! It was a cool spot. I think my boyfriend paid about 14 bucks for 30 minutes of how ever many balls we could hit. Only down side is you have refill the machine with balls. But that doesn’t count against your time.
