I can’t say enough good things about Ball 2 Barrel. This place is exactly what the city has been missing for players who are serious about the game. It’s not just a place to rent a cage; it’s a real academy where they take your development personally. From day one, the coaches have been incredible. They did a full evaluation and put together a specific plan for my kid. The training is next-level and covers everything—not just hitting and pitching, but strength & conditioning, baseball IQ, stretching, and even sports psychology. The facility itself is insane, with all the top-tier tech like HitTrax and Rapsodo. The best part is the coaches know how to use that data to make a real difference. If your kid is serious about baseball, this is where they need to be. Highly, highly recommend!
