batting cage

Enclosed hitting area

A batting cage is an enclosed area, typically surrounded by netting, where baseball or softball players practice hitting.

Pitching machines or live pitchers deliver balls while the netting contains them safely.

Commercial batting cages at entertainment centers let casual players take swings for a fee: We spent an hour at the batting cages after mini golf.
