Once or twice a week is a good way to get in a lot quality reps, especially in rainy weather or when pressed for time. Also allows you to evaluate mechanics and diagnose problems quickly, removing pitching as a variable.We usually go off-peak hours and are often the only people there. But even during busy times you put your name on the white board for a particular cage and kids get two sets (40 balls) before they are supposed to rotate out. Folks are pretty good about following that.

First time there and this place is great. Our 9 year boy, who is in Minors Baseball, spent his time between the 40mph and 45mph cages. It was packed when we went, but still not super long waits between turns, and the staff is great and keeps the place running smoothly.

There are four indoor cages here. The options range between softball, fast baseball, and slow baseball. The cages are suitable for adults and kids. Helmets and bats are available to use for free. It costs three dollars per token, and each token gets you twenty throws. There are arcade games and plastic tables here too.

A fun place to shake off the rust and take some hacks. It also has a back area that can be rented as a pitching tunnel or a place to do some more hitting drills. Overall its a great spot and Ill definitely be coming back.

This place is outstanding. Steve the employee is personable, informative and will show you everything about how the machines work. (Also talk baseball if you want!) It can get a little busy from time to time but youll still be able to get your hits in and you dont have to wait more than five minutes on a cage. Its great they have cages for all skill levels as well as a 70mph cage for us ball players :) Id go every day if I had the money and I recommend you all do they same. Good job guys, 10 out of 5 stars!

Jugs for softball are very random, and its a bit spendy, but close to home and they keep good hours.

My dad and I were going to go here to practice some softball on 09/09/2019 right when they opened..... 40 mins later and they are still not opened! 10 people also came by wanting to hit some balls but they weren’t “opened” even though they said they open at 3. If you’re not going to open on time or at all, post a sign!! Wasted my time....

My therapist says I have anger issues. I told her to shut her face before she gets a bat to the face. After she winced in fear, she recommended this place. Now I can hit things with bats without going to jail.

Great place to go for batting practice. My kid loves it. The owner is very nice and makes sure everything is working like it should. My boy is 6 and the slow pitch softball was perfect for him. Have been several times and will continue to go.

Low key and relaxed fun. A nice local spot to play arcade games and swing a bat.

Batting A Thousand has a decent set of batting cages and the price point isnt too bad. However, the place can get packed very quickly. If you are going to hit with a bunch of people, call ahead and reserve a cage. The wait isnt worth it.

The only batting cage left around, however they have been providing solid, reliable service for the 25+ years that I have been going there.

Review №25

Great service. A cage shorted me the 20 balls due to malfunction. The operator apologized, fixed the problem and gave me 3 more rounds to compensate. Thought that was a first class gesture. Highly recommend for all skill levels.

Admittedly I grew up coming both with family and with various teams, and now I am coaching my own kids and bringing them here is just part of playing baseball. Batting a thousand is an awesome place for many levels and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a great alternative for baseball/softball practice for those many PDX rainy days! There are 4 cages with different speeds to accomodate all the different levels of baseball & softball. Keep an eye on the batting lists though... my son Nelson missed his turn because some older gentlemen decided that his name was now Nelson! Thank goodness that jerk isnt always there!

Good place to do batting practice,especially when its rainy or cold because its indoors. Only a few cages so sometimes u have to wait. But at least they are open.. The other cages close thru alot of the winter season.

The machines were inconsistent and trying to locate the ball prior to being pitched was very difficult. Not recommended.

I grew up in a batting cage because my father owned a batting cage business. I have very high standards for batting cages and this place lived up to them.

Need More Staff!! Thats my only real issue. There are some games to keep the little ones that are not uses the cages busy, and the cages are in okay shape. The place is usually packed so make sure to put away some time to get through waiting list.
