MWR Batting Cages

The three stars is primarily because they are open by reservation only! Must give at least 24 – 48 hour notice before you want to come.

For those that did not know, the Fort Huachuca Morale Welfare & Recreation (MWR) built a facility in the summer of 2011 that contains six batting cages. The small adjoining paintball field is closed until they upgrade the perimeter safety netting. The facility provides helmets and all the bats needed for baseball or softball. They have three cages for baseball ranging from slow (45 mph) up to fast (80 mph) pitch. The other cages are for softball with two for slow-​pitch and one for fast-​pitch (45 – 50 mph) with clearly marked plates and batters boxes in all six cages.
Cost of play is ten balls for $ 1.00 and they issue tokens to use in the machines. The lighting is very good if you’re hitting away after dusk night and the pitching machines are in great shape. The attendant can even vary the speed of the pitches for you and change the height/​distance on the slow-​pitch if you ask nicely. The slope of the ‘field’ was built just right so all balls return to the collector to fed back into the pitching machines.
All-​in-​all a very nice facility, actually the only one of its kind in town, that doesn’t get enough recognition since it’s located on the base. The cages are open for use by the general public and there really hasn’t been a lot of waiting to go in and take some cuts at a ball.
I know that can all change now that I’m spilling the beans but I don’t mind sharing and from all the popcorn I’ve seen at the downtown ball fields some of yall would benefit from a couple sessions in the batting cages! I’m just sayin…
