Grand Slam Baseball Training Center

Shabby. Rundown. Overpriced.
I would rate this place higher if the balls were more consistent (speed and location) and if you got more for your money (20 balls for $ 2). Customer service was the only reason I gave it an extra star (gave me 2 tokens to replace the two at bats when balls were not coming out). Facilities need to be updated with new netting, pavement, bats and re-​calibration of the ball machines. Location is excellent but it’s a shame they aren’t putting it to it’s full use. You have been warned!

My visit to the Grand Slam Baseball Training Center was precipitated by an unfortunate performance during a softball game two weeks ago. I went 0 for 3. With two strikeouts. Anyone who has ever played, watched or even contemplated the game of slo-​pitch softball should know just how truly sad that line is, particularly in light of the fact I’ve been playing some variant of the game since I was a pre-​teen.
In any event, Grand Slam, to my knowledge is the only batting cage in the entire Metro Detroit area. It wasnt particularly hard to find, and the staff was friendly. In fact, when I told them my cage had malfunctioned, they gave me two extra tokens for my trouble. The facilities themselves are aged, which defintely lent itself to some problems, but for the most part, you can get what you need here; solid batting practice. They have cages that are arranged from slo-​pitch all the way to hardball at the other end where pitches are thrown at 70mph and above. I plan on gradually moving through the cages until I’m crushing ‘em out as fast as they come in.
Also, while I’m here, I’m looking to join softball league in Metro Detroit and havent had much luck. Let me know if you need a good player with solid infield defensive skills!
