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.

Unique facility in Las Vegas February 19 2016, 0 Comments

Wanted to post this picture of a unique facility in Las Vegas that BATCO has the pleasure of furnishing balls, equipment, iron Mike, for this facility. What makes it unusual is that the machines throw into better stalls and the batters get it out onto an open field. And if they're good enough they can even hit over the fence. It's very large and accommodates 10 iron Mike's at a time with. Levels of speed.

If you're ever in Las Vegas and want to just check this out it's worth your time it's at the end of South Point Road

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.

BATCO Contributes to Success August 16 2015, 0 Comments

I just received these pictures from a Little League in New York and was very pleased and proud to have BATCO be part of their success.  BATCO was always willing to help kids and organizations succeed. In turn we want to show those teams congratulations and best wishes in the future:

This notice from the director:

I wanna tell you how happy we are with our batting cage purchase, it is awesome. Our Monroe Woodbury district all star team used it a lot and it paid off with a championship. Unfortunately we could not keep it up and lost before our goal of Williamsport. Also our travel team, Crusaders Baseball Club loves coming over to use it. Below are a couple of pictures. Thanks again.

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.
