Every team plays a doubleheader each week on HitTrax, which turns each batted ball into a live simulated game result. Pitches come from our ProBatter video simulator at age-appropriate, game speed. With only 3–4 hitters per lineup, players get far more plate appearances than a traditional game.
Every team makes the playoffs. After the 7-week regular season, teams are seeded into two brackets — Gold (seeds 1–4) and Silver (seeds 5–8) — for semifinals and a championship game the same night. Playoff games cannot end in a tie.
The ProBatter is programmed to throw age-appropriate strikes to keep games moving and maximize competitive at-bats. There are no balls and no walks; three strikes is an out. Coaches or league staff may correct the count when HitTrax clearly misreads a pitch.
Register for the division you’ll play in the 2027 baseball season — Friday 12U, Sunday 10U & 11U. Designed for intermediate and advanced players comfortable facing game-speed pitching. If a player can’t make it, arrange a substitute before game day; we can help coordinate a comparable-level player to avoid forfeits.
Metal and composite bats must meet USA Baseball, USSSA or BBCOR standards; traditional wood bats are permitted. Helmets required at all times while hitting. No bunting. Each team helps collect baseballs after its half inning to keep games on schedule.
Every cage rental includes our HitTrax games — six ways to turn a session into a competition. Perfect for a night out with friends, a team build, or a birthday party in the cages.
Build two teams and play a full simulated game — HitTrax calls balls and strikes, advances runners, and turns double plays. Play 3–9 innings and see who comes out on top.
Every hit is scored on exit velo, launch angle, distance, and outcome. Chase your personal best and compete with friends for the high score.
Swing for the fences in your favorite MLB stadiums off our pitching simulators. Fun for every skill level and a blast to watch.
Build custom sets of game scenarios and execute what the moment demands — with a “Clutch Factor” metric that scores your ability to do damage.
Work across the field at set intervals, adding hit-type criteria for an extra challenge. A directional game to test you and your friends.
Set goals for reps, target exit velocities, and launch angles while your success rate is tallied automatically.
Six modules today, with more on the way. Games are included with every cage rental — bring a friend and make your next session a competition.
