1. Batting cage

   A batting cage (or tunnel) is an enclosed area for baseball or softball players to practice the skill of batting. The optimal material for batting cages is netting, and they are typically rectangular in shape. Chain-link fence is not required but can be useful to enclose the netting to prevent vandalism. However, this material is not suitable for the primary impact layer because it will warp the fencing and damage balls. The ideal netting for a batting cage is either diamond- or square-shaped. Both types of netting have their advantages and disadvantages.

1. Batting cage

   A batting cage is an enclosed cage for baseball players to practice the skill of batting. It is usually made of netting or a chain-link fence, and is rectangular in shape. A batter stands at one end of the cage, with a pitching machine at the opposing end. The pitcher or pitching machine pitches baseballs to the batter, who hits them. The cage is used to keep the loose baseballs within a certain range so that they're easy to pick up and are not lost. Batting cages are found both indoors and outdoors. The interior floor of a batting cage may be sloped, to automatically feed the baseballs back into the automatic pitching machine. The automatic pitching machines using sloped floors usually pitch out a synthetic baseball or softball, rather than an official solid core leather hardball. Commercial batting cages pitch with several different speeds, which can range from 30 miles to 90 miles per hour. Cricket nets, used by cricket batsmen are similar in purpose, but bowling machines are much less common than facing a live bowler.
