Triple Crown Indoor Batting Cages, Saint Paul

Ever since the first pitching machine wound up and hurled its inaugural strike in 1993, Triple Crown Indoor Batting Cages has helped baseball and softball players build upon their skills. Aspiring sluggers can log cuts inside any of the seven cages—three apiece for baseball and softball, plus one for fast-pitch softball—or trade the confines of the cage for open-area hitting. Here, players can practice their line drives and work on developing a pop-up that makes infielders comically run into each other. Hitting and pitching instruction is always available, and arcade games give players a chance to unwind after long hours of practice.
