INField Batting Cages

they seem money hungry, I paid in advance and was running late and called to notify. We used it for half an hour charged for the full hour. Doesn’t make me want to come back.

$ 30 for 30 minutes… cannot beat it. 2 cages, plus a warm up area with a T. My boys had a blast taking swings and getting their hitch out of their swings.
2 3-​roller pitching machines… I think the one on the left is only baseball. The only problem is for lefties. The net is way too close so my son keeps hitting the net on the back swing.
Still had a blast though

It was a nice surprise to find this place nestled between the restaurants, coffee shops and dry cleaners on Clement and 20^th.
We came upon INField when my kid’s baseball coach held a one-​hour batting session this spring. (We normally practiced on a baseball field at a SF Rec park).
I was so impressed with the set up of this place that while my kid was practicing, I looked around and discovered that they have birthday party packages, where you can rent the entire place (both batting cages, the practice areas, and tables) for about $ 200 for 15 – 20 kids.
So we ended up having my kid’s birthday party here last month. What really sold it to me was that they allowed us to bring in our own food. Most places require you to purchase food (i.e. pizza, soda, etc) from their vendors and might only allow you to bring in birthday cake. We were able to bring in all of our own stuff, so that helped budget-​wise. Of course, if you were so inclined, you could order food through them, even buy goodie-​bags loaded with baseball-​related stuff.
They have a website through which you can reserve batting time, as well as party slots, so very convenient. Communication was mainly through email. The location (in the central Richmond) couldn’t have been more convenient for us and our party guests.
The only reason I’m going with 4 instead of 5 stars is that the male owner (?)/​manager (?) wasn’t the friendliest person. I had to work to talk with him. He wasn’t rude or anything, just wasn’t particularly warm or forthcoming with information when I was inquiring about making reservations.
Otherwise, I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to host a party or to just get your slug on. During the party, I was able to load the pitching machines as well as get some batting practice myself. It was a great sweaty stress-​relief session. I am tempted to go again. Without my kid.

Our nephew, my son, and I visited INField batting cages today. It was perfect. We booked in advance for an hour of fast pitch at noon. «Maria», one of the owners, was incredibly customer focused and since it was our first time at INField, gave us a very useful orientation to the cage and pitching machine.
From there, the workout for our nephew (who is trying out for Lowell’s varsity team) was awesome. The facility is incredibly convenient as we live in the inner Richmond (we used to go to «Triple Play» in San Leandro!), clean and well-​lit.
We were so pleased with INField that we purchased the $ 100.00 set of five half-​hour sessions that allowed us to save $ 5.00 per half hour session, normally $ 25.00 per half-​hour session.
Thank you, Maria, and INField!

Top rate neighborhood batting cage. Owner is friendly and knowledgeable. I like that you can get behind the machines and make adjustments in the fly. Prices are very reasonable. My two sons like going there.

This place is awesome. What I really like about this place is that you can adjust the machines. I usually went to future pro before this place, and what I really hated about that place was that the balls would come out at the same speed for one sequence, and same area every time. What I love about this place and their system is that you can adjust hot fast you want the pitch, and how high or low you want it. The deal is really good also. I mean $ 40 for an hour split between two people to hit about 90 – 120 balls each isn’t bad at all.
I am so happy that there is a batting cage in San Francisco, I’ve always wanted one to be here. I just wish this place was open on the weekdays as long as they are open on the weekends.

We had our son’s 12 year old birthday party. InField was GREAT. The boys had a chance to bat and play around. We even hooked up a Wii to the TV and they played that too. it worked out really well. Mike and the team did a great job including coaching the kids that had not batted all that much.
Prior to the party my son and I went by for an hour and had a great time.

This is definitely a hidden gem.
First off, let me say that it is totally centered around little league, which is awesome. But adults are totally welcome too.
The 2 cages are both little league length, and they are thinner in width, so if you bat switch like I do and you want to work out from the left side, the guy dropping balls is gonna have to adjust the machine to throw a bit of a curve so you can get a full rotation in.
There are also 2 warm-​up cages — one with a floating ball (suspended by elastic string), and one with a tee.
But regardless — the guy running the place was super nice and accommodating, even though my friend and I rolled up right before Kids Night (friday nights) started. They have a couple adult helmets and adult length aluminum bats. You are allowed to bring wood bats, but they have a rule (that is slightly bendable) about using a wood bat when the other cage is in use. So — don’t bring maple bats — when they break they tend to shatter.
Pricing is definitely reasonable too — $ 25 for a half hour, $ 40 for the hour — and it will be split between two people, so you get a good workout and its totally worth the loot.
But bring someone. Because the pitching machines require someone to drop in each pitch. They are adjustable for speed, height, and throwing a couple different pitches. Just make sure your friend knows how to work it right, or you’ll get hit by a pitch like me (its super easy — i think he kicked the leg of the machine by accident). I’m still nursing an apple sized bruise from a 70mph curve.
I’ll definitely be back!

I’m a little reluctant to review this place because I like having this secret in my back pocket. There is not a better place on a rainy day to take your team or baseball player to get a little extra batting practice.
With the rain we had (finally!) we still needed to get a little extra work with our baseball team. I gave a call to infield batting cages to see if we could get a reservation for an hour.
They had us slot of time that worked for us so we jumped right on it. Turns out their rates are better than most of the batting cages in the city. Just $ 40 an hour.
Place is clean, well set up, and the equipment is first rate. Our nine players got the equivalent at bats that would’ve taken 3 – 4 games normally.
Definitely going back on a rainy day, and probably some sunny ones too.

After eating dinner, I went to check out the batting cages. The owner, Mike, is a really nice guy. He’s personable and helpful. And I love that there are batting cages near me, let alone in the city!
The prices are great and you can go in for 30 mins or more. It’s a great way to get some practice if you’re a baseball player, or just need some physical activity to relieve stress. I love it and I would go back to perfect my swing.

I went to INField Batting Cages with my fiancée when we were in the city and it was a great experience at a great price. The pitching machines have a variety of settings suitable for all levels. The staff was great! They made sure everything was working and had us set up in no time. Throughout our 30 minute session they would stop by just to make sure everything was going all right while giving pointers on my swing.
If you are a Little League coach in the City and do not want to make a long trek to the batting cage I would definitely give this place a call!

This is a new batting cage in The Richmond. It’s very convient and it was easy just to walk in and get some swings in. The owners were very accomadating. I took my 11 year old son in twice so far and it has helped him with his timing and getting his batting form down. Can’t wait for baseball to start up to watch it translate on the field. This is so much better than driving outside The City just to get some consistent batting practice.

This a good little find in the Richmond District. It is a brand new place with 2 cages that are perfect for little league kids and teams. It sure beats driving out of the city to cages on the peninsula or TI.
The owner is a little league coach and he is very friendly and helpful. He gave us extra time after we ran right through the half hour we paid for.
Parking is a little rough after 6pm but you can usually find a space close by before then.

Fantastic! Great facility, great price and all from a really great guy. Mike was super patient and positive with me while I missed most of the balls that came my way and gave me great advice about my swing. My partner and I loved it and are excited to go back again. A REALLY much needed addition to this side of the city.
