Montebello Batting Cages

Was excited to hit the batting cages on a Tuesday afternoon but wouldn’t return to this location. The prices aren’t to bad $ 12 for 15mins, gives you a good amount of pitches & you are also provided with a helmet and bat. Although it isn’t the nicest, it’s still a fun set up. The service was very bad from the only guy there. Almost poking my bfs eye out when handing him the bat with no warning and then not letting me know when he was going to start the pitches causing myself to get hit. so s/​o to him for being a rude employee and for this bruise on my thigh. Seems like a chill job with no work so idk why he was so rude.

Went with my sister for some bonding time. We really enjoyed ourselves. It’s affordable and you get to bat for a good amount of time. They provide a bat and helmet for you and you can choose the ball and speed. There wasn’t someone hovering over you constantly either which was nice. We just got to have fun batting for a bit!

6 cages, 60mph to90mph and $ 12 for 15 mins (~135 balls) Great place to bring the kids or nieces and nephews, cousins or friends. While you wait for your turn you can watch the horses being rode around the trail here. Good spot, nothing else much to say!

Only 4 lanes, 3 for baseball, 1 for softball. Was there after work to check it out. Not crowded when I was there but there were little league games going on. I was there to hit some softballs. Saw the cage and thought it was looking good as I liked how it was setup with high ceiling netting. Been to other places like Homerun Park where the softballs skim the netting at the top but no such problem here. Went up to go pay. They had no change so I ended up paying for 15 minutes worth ($ 10). I knew from the first 3 pitches that this was no good. The majority (75%+) of the balls came up short and left of the plate by a COUPLE FEET. I ended up doing Happy Gilmoure walk up to the pitch swings since it varied where the pitch went. Ended up getting a blister trying to reach for balls ending up really low and inside. My bat hit the netting behind me most of the time since the balls came so inside on me. There was a big hole in the netting where my bat usually hit which tells me that this is a common problem here. Ended up swinging left-​handed just so I can hit the ball without trying to stop my swing so I don’t hit the netting. Bottom line. Cages are set up well with high ceiling but the pitching machine either needs to be replaced or better calibrated.

This place $ucks!!!
1) the services was not friendly
2) the cages themselves are out dated and un kept
3) you only get 6 pitches for $ 0.50 and sometimes the machine doesn’t pick up the ball so you are A$$ out
4) the pitching machines are wack… they do not pitch aligned… i had to keep shifting … let me tell you… i got no really practice out of them…
5) Diamonds in Santa Fe Springs give you 10 pitches for $ 0.50, the place is nicer and the ppl are a bit nicer…
I will never !!! EVER! go here again.

Not super expensive but not really that cheap either. It’s sometimes hard to position yourself as where you’ll get a majority of pitches in the strike zone. The equipment they have to rent is not great, but at least it’s free. However, if you bring your own equipment it can be a neat place to get some swings in. It’s mostly hassle free, aside from the occasional wait. But there are seats there in case you do need to, or if you brought someone with you that has to wait for you.
The highest pitch speed is 90 MPH which is fine.

No hassles just walked in, no reservations, $ 10 for 15 mins.
