Custom Cover for BATCO

This is a custom cover that a high school in New York State wanted as a third-party add-on..  This was done by high school in New York and BATCO created this cover, as part of our service. It has a giant zipper on it they can be pulled down or pushed up with a stick or long string, the school is going to experiment with that. In the back it just comes down about 3 foot over the arches is not a full 100% cover. But it looks good and is attached at the top so when it's unzipped it is pulled open like curtains. Then use it again to back it up against the wall and pull the cover forward. It has a learning curve but the truth is it turned out very nice.


Notre Dame clinic February 26 2016, 0 Comments

We at BATCO have had the pleasure of working with University of Notre Dame coaches and players in the development of a new batting cage.

We took it to them and they put it through the testing procedure with through their clinics, as well as two high schools have set up and used it extensively and it is a very good batting solution for a cage on the field, but easy to use.

This cage is now on the website and we invite anybody to take a look at it, cause or get one for your team.

This is brand-new cage and a new concept that we hope solve a need coaches have while hitting on the field.

Senior League Denver Colorado September 29 2015, 0 Comments

There is a baseball league in Denver that caters to the senior players. With levels for 50 and up, 60 up, and even 70 and up. They play from the early spring through the summer for the pure enjoyment of the game. BATCO is extremely pleased to join with Come to Play.  Here to Play is a full-service league with a training facility, hitting facility, clubhouse, pro shop, along with the full league of games.

BATCO is extremely pleased to a furnished the netting, for the entire facility.  One very unique thing about this that is worked out extremely well is that the front of the dugout instead of being chain-link is number 42 net in place of the chain-link. And even more unique is that the outfield fence is number 36 nylon netting instead of chain-link fence. This allows them to take it down and put it up each spring. The cost savings was extraordinary over the cost of chain-link fence and the installation of that fence. Mark took a risk there and has proven to be more than functional it really works, for this league.

I want to share this with you as it is the result of one man's effort. Howard set out to give the kids of Taft one of the best hitting facilities that any city had, and he succeeded. With BATCO's help with built cages, put in turf, stance mats, iron Mike hitting machines, and chain-link the all set of cages and then put them under the lights. It took Howard over two years to get all the help, money and the okays, but I want to tell you this is the best facility any kids had because one man's total effort.  If you happen to play against Taft CA, or ever by their you need to see this facility at the baseball park.

"How Has BATCO been important to your successes since starting your Baseball and/or Fast pitch Training Facility?"

BATCO was a tremendous asset from the very beginning as we began to discuss our ideas with them and the way Coach Arnald treated us as part of the family all the way to opening day. He was very helpful in bouncing ideas off of him and him giving us great advice as well. The equipment we purchased through BATCO was top of the line and we have had no complaints, it was delivered on time and went beyond our expectations. Our clients have been thrilled with our facility and we have grown at an incredible speed to the point of us already discussing expanding our facility within the next three months and opening three more facilities within the next two years, we continue to receive praise for our facilities equipment and design.  BATCO
