On Deck Batting Cages

On deck batting cage is awesome. Get custom soto gloves. Workout with Zumba classes. Do faster for an hour. Even get private batting lessons from the best coaches I know. Or when there’s tryouts tryout for the USA athletics. Overall there is so much to do. Hope you try

Went in with a group, on a whim after a business lunch. We showed up well before they opened. The owner was there and opened for us, set us up with unlimited time and gave us a ridiculous deal. I would highly recommend visiting this establishment. Also had a look around, phenomenal training facilities.

Parking could be better. There’s a bunch of high traffic places and cars have specific places they need to park in. It’s not ideal. The batting cages are great. Staff is friendly.

I had a great first time experience, except the staff was young, I’d suggest to have the staff trained in customer service, this isn’t your teams locker room, it’s a running business. Have the procedures for first timers on lock, the guy who helped us, gave us a helmet and bat at different times and didn’t even seem like he knew what he was doing.
I would also recommend to have some ventilation or air conditioning. I only paid for 30 minutes but was interested in staying the full hour. Due to the uncomfortable heat, I could only withstand 30 minutes.

I’m not sure I’d come back here ever again.
The person at the front was more concerned with chatting with her friend than providing customer service.

Drove here on a Sunday with my son after he was bugging all morning to go bat just to find out they were closed even though website and Unilocal ad say open on Sunday’s, what a disappointment !

Super cool. Super value. My kids loved it and want to go back. Even good to make me feel young again. Not bad exercise. Staff friendly and helpful. They give you all the equipment. Check it out with the kids. Great place to kill an hour.

It’s actually really nice in here. We might book the teams batting practice here. It’s very spacious and has a separate sitting area for the parents. The prices are reasonable compared to other cages. The staff was helpful. Be sure to be on time if not early. The time slot goes from the time reserved, not the time you are assigned a cage.

Cool Spot.
They charge about $ 17/​half hour and you can bring as many batters as you’d like. That price includes helmets and bats (or you can bring your own).
Lots of parking.
Call ahead of time for a reservation. This place fills up quickly.

Came here for the 1^st time today with my husband and 5yr old son, it was great! We had a reservation at 7:30pm and everything was ready for us when we arrived. The staff is friendly and helpful. There was a miscommunication when we made the reservations however the staff did not hesitate and fixed it right away. Definitely coming back!

Great facility and well maintained

Love the place though it can get crowed. Arrive early, afternoons get the little league folks.

My son LOVES coming to this cage! He also gets private instruction from Bud Smith and he is AMAZING! My son thinks it is the best thing in the world to have private lessons from a real ex-​major league player! He tells ALL of his friends! And the price is very reasonable. All of the employees at this facility are very friendly and they have a great lounge for parents to wait in while their kids are getting instruction!

The people that work here are very friendly and helpful. It’s actually a lot of fun!
everyone should try to hit a baseball at least once in their lifes. I just got in the zone.

I love this place. Almost all batting cages are fun but this is a great facility and the guys at the front counter are awesome. If it’s ever crowded and we have to
son and I use the netted area in front to hit wiffle balls.
You can host birthday parties here too and they have instruction/​coaches although we haven’t used those yet.

Been here once. Wasn’t crowded at all when I came on an early Saturday afternoon. Rented a slow pitch cage for half an hour and it was $ 17. Not too bad of a price. Place was clean and looked pretty new. Plenty of parking. Will come back again if I am in the area.
No complaints here.

It had been literally 10+ years since I thought about how much I like going to the batting cages and I was so excited to see On Deck tucked away near Costco off Willow!
I took my lady here for a fun and cheap part of our date night and it was… well, a hit! For like $ 12 bucks we had plenty of time in a private cage for slow pitch and the staff here was really helpful and nice. From the looks of the place, its normally a little-​league /​softball practice place, but man it was SO fun to go in and hit some balls. This is definitely a place for anyone to come in and crank out a few homeruns.
Date night dinner and a visit to On Deck ended up being a hilarious time and we even worked up a bit of a sweat. Giggity.

So I play softball. Yeah, I know right? Crazy huh? In the beginning I had no clue how to play, how my stance should be and the very least how to catch a measley ball.
My softball team would occassionally venture to On Deck to hit a few balls. Get that practice swing warmed up. Also to get in a few hits to help strengthen your swing.
So aside from having field practice, being able to come into On Deck after a long day’s work just seems like a good deal. With a friendly staff, unbelievable rates and easily accessible from most nearby freeways.
If it’s your first time rest assured that you will be guided on how to manuever their machines, tips and might even help you feed the machines if you happen to stop by on your own. I mean, c’mon, now that’s service!
Know that I’m a fan of On Deck and plan on returning soon before the season starts up again.

Wow! It’s a little intimidating walking into this facility. This is sooo out of my comfort zone, but I psyched myself up to not worrying about how I looked after all, I’ve managed to make a fool of myself at Unilocal events. This is nothing new. I’ve recently joined a slow pitch softball team after attending an Unofficial Unilocal Event called the softball series LA vs OC. I had so much fun that it brought me back to memories of high school freshman when I tried out for the softball team.
I informed the clerk up front that this was my first time in their establishment. I didn’t catch her name, but she was really cool about helping me get started and even let me hit a little longer than the 15 minutes I paid for. I definitely recommend bringing friends or teammates to offset the steep price of $ 30/​hour rates. You’re allowed an unlimited amount of people to bat, but just be mindful of your time. It can fly by like the fastballs coming at you.
Nothing feels better than spanking some of those balls out of the park, the indoor park that is. The sound of the pitching machine making that distinct long beep sound as the light turns from green, orange, red and to green before the pitch is directed towards home plate.
So I wasn’t that great. But it was just nice visualizing what my home run would look like. The kid with the over sized helmet next to me made hitting a baseball look simple. Damn you!
What I like most about On Deck is the cleanliness of the facility topped of with a helpful and friendly staff.
I’ll be back… yeah like three times in one week and counting. Hopefully I can be an asset to my team (Pitch Please!)
BTW, I learned that I’m a switch hitter– Say what!!!

This place is great fun at a great price.
For our group, the casual Sunday afternoon bat swingers, an hour of somewhat physical entertainment cost about $ 4.00 a person ($ 2.00 for 30 slow pitch softballs, twice for each person). If you want to hit baseballs out of the fast pitching machine, it’s $ 4.00 for 30 balls.
Everything inside is new and clean. They have several rooms for birthday parties, team meetings, or other events. There’s also a really cool Players’ Lounge featuring comfy red sofas, a flat-​panel TV, food and beverage vending machines and complimentary coffee. Additionally, they run a uniform and team apparel service out of the same location. This is NOT the grimy outdoor batting cages of your little league days!
The staff was friendly and helpful. I can only imagine how much more I’d love this place if I coached a softball team or played on an adult intramural team. For those who are more than Sunday afternoon swingers, the website has information about coaching, team rates, and forthcoming pliometrics services.
Fun + clean + new + helpful staff + good website = a winning local business for Signal Hill.
