If I could give a zero I would. If you make a reservation for a lesson and a place blatantly deletes you and makes no attempt to accommodate you then they should not be in business. There business is disappointing children who are there to learn baseball. read more

I came in a couple week's ago with an old college friend of mine while she was in town. I live right down the street and have always wanted to give it a try. So, I gave them a call and spoke to Gabe who is the manager of the facility. He was very informative and was able to answer all of my questions, and believe me, I had A LOT! We got to the business and it was WAY more than expected! Who knew that there was a place this awesome in the middle of Los Angeles!!! I played softball in college so this place brought back a lot of feeling's being there. Gabe helped us from beginning to end of our batting time, from setting up the machine, being a gentleman by carrying our bucket of balls, as well as the checkout process. I will definitely be back if they keep up this kind of customer service! I would recommend this place to anyone of any age. read more

Baseball Central is a nice spot to train kids (or adults) to hit (or pitch) the baseball. Open late and usually can get in on short notice. Wish they had an automatic feed machine so I could hit a few solo. The indoor cages are great and staff are awesome. Parking is easy which makes it even better. Play ball! read more

Use to goto Baseball Central...NOT anymore. The people and service is bad. When confronted the lady replied, the owner is my brother, I'll let him know your not happy. Really, because the owner is your brother you can be rude and drive customers away. Talk about entitlement. The situation: had an appointment for 10.45. Showed up early and was told we can start earlier. Which I said great. Since we just got there we still needed to put on the gear (batting gloves etc) and stretch. But apparently, the minute she turns on the pitching machine the clock starts. We weren't ready, still stretching getting gear together. When she came back and said times up, I said that's not the start time I had. Her reply, I wrote down the time I turned the machine on and the clock starts. Apparently it doesn't matter when you actually hit a ball, because the minute the machine is turned on you clock starts. BS. I should have just waited for my appointment time and get ready. I would get it if that was our appointment time or if someone was going right after us. But 1) that wasn't our appointment time, we were there early and 2) no one was going after us because that was our original appointment time. When confronted with all of this her reply was, I will let my brother the owner know. If cheating me out of 10 minutes is worth losing a customer then so be it. I'll never go back. I will also tell all the coaches and parents in my girls softball league to never go as well, because they rip you off of your time. And when confronted your reply should no be my brother is the owner. Great then....tell your brother you just lost a long term customer and a bunch of their friends for 10 minutes. read more

Came with a friend to try the batting cages for the first time and were glad we chose to go here! Made an appointment ahead of time so when we got there all we needed to do was check in with the staff to go to the cage. Ritchie helped us and he was super nice and helpful! 10/10 would go again read more

It was ok. Waaaaaay too overcrowded. Someone needs to open another one. Not being able to make an appt within the week is ridiculous.....

A converted warehouse into a a few batting cage stalls - most of the stalls are manual feeds and you can have the guys there to adjust the speed as you wish. Since there aren't many batting cages in the WLA/LA area, I come here once in a while to hit some baseballs - good stress relief to say the least read more

As someone who has never hit a baseball before but just wanted to try out a batting cage for fun, this place was great. Really good service (helped us set up the ball machine and lent bats / helmets / gloves for free). Not too crowded; just make sure to reserve the ball machine in advance. Saw an instructor giving a little boy a lesson, and seemed like a great instructor. Quite a few kids practicing softball / baseball here on a Saturday afternoon. Clean and neat interior. read more

I live north of LA apx 45 min from the place. There are 5 batting cages 10-20 min from my house and numerous travel ball teams but yet for my son(13) serious about getting to the next level there is no place better. For years I have seen fellow parents of young kids still in their learning stages dishing out coin after coin feeding machines so their young players can take swing after swing with improper techniques and what they got for their money is muscle memory of improper techniques. With an impressive list of instructors/coaching staff, the difference between this place is the strong and genuine sense that my son and all the other students are not just clients. The interactions between the two is a joy to watch. It is rare to see a staff that has been at the highest level show they are enjoying what they are doing no matter what level the student. My wife noted " I think if Shawn (Chacon), TJ(Reynolds) and the rest can fit in those 11U jersey they will be out there with the kids taking practice." For the parent/coach who wants to do it yourself, what better concept of having control of the machine and lesson, instead of watching balls shoot continuously while yelling instructions behind the fence, not able to make corrections on the spot. For those looking for a travel team that has a staff dedicated to the primary purpose of improving your player's skills this place is worth the drive. read more

awesome to have a place like this in the neighborhood. that little stretch of venice blvd from thurman east is coming up ! Best of luck, BATTTTTER up!!! read more

Realizing my swing has rusted over, this is a great place to shake it all off. 3 bucks a bucket of 32. 4 sets later, I was drenched in sweat and on my way back to hitting home runs of the past. Don't expect awesome service. There are reason why this place is cheap. You have to pick up the balls yourself too. They had a worker there manually feed the pitching machine. I tipped her 8 bucks for the time. The workers there are a bit standoffish, but a few line drives at them got a few laughs from them. Prepare for inconsistent pitches, which is great simulated live pitching. Most are very hittable. Parking is tough on this part of La Cienega. I had luck on Sawyer, which is one street right before the building. If you're just looking to get some reps in, go here. read more

As long as you make a reservation you're well placed for batting practice here. Really nice staff.

This place is horrible. One of my first experiences here was when my parked car was hit in the parking lot. The parking lot is too tight and a number of people have their cars hit here by fellow patrons. The place is a bit out of the way in a high traffic zone, and thus can be difficult to get to during traffic times. As for the staff, the guy in the front is nice and courteous. The coaches on the other hand, are arrogant and not helpful. In fact, I had observed one of the coaches lose his temper at a patron. Very unclassy and unwarranted. The owner must be blind to temperamental issues of his/her employees since this type of immature behavior and lack of control can be displayed in public. I would look for somewhere else to go hit balls as their machines are old and not consistent. read more

I'm a fan. The people here are super awesome. You have to call ahead to make an appointment, especially during baseball/softball season. Take a friend because you have to feed the machine. It's an excellent place to let out some steam. read more

Came here for the first time with my girlfriend for a 'Date day' and couldn't have been more impressed! The Facilities and the young kid in charge were all top notch! Handing me a beer as I walk out of the batting cage would be the only other thing I could ask for when it comes to baseball central - will def. be back! read more

Great Spot, prepare to work up a sweat hacking away, and yes park in the back. Not many in West LA area, so we'll take what we can get. Pricing is fair. I got 2 buckets the last time I came and I was good. Making good contact isn't as easy as it looks, but practice makes perfect. read more

I've been to most of the batting cages in the LA area and this is by far the best. Great facility - very clean and well maintained. Friendly, helpful staff and good prices. Easy to find despite a fairly small sign out front. My dad and I prefer to pitch to each other rather than use the machines and this is the only facility with that option (real baseballs too!). We'll definitely be back. read more

Awesome customer service from Gabe. Took my seven year old son and we hit in a cage for 30 minutes then hung out in the lounge and watched the bad news bears. We'll be back soon and often. read more

A really good place for trying to bat, you can do it with a machine or with a coach. Half an hour is enough if you haven't tried it before. Call to make an appointment, then you don't have to wait. read more

Very friendly staff and good rates. Be sure to call ahead in order to reserve a lane. They also sell wooden YaYa bats, which has a lot of 'pop' and are a great deal for $65. read more

Real cool staff, they offer instruction or u can jus go with a friend and hit some balls. Facility is awesome and easy to get to. AND they have softball and baseball. Can't wait to go again! read more

My son loves this place and TJ. TJ runs a 1st class operation. Great lessons, great people. This is the place for the "real" baseball people----no frills, just a great baseball experience and training. Kids who come here learn to play the game the right way. read more

Great friendly family owned place to improve baseball skills. Highly recommended, especially for kids and dads can take a few cuts too. read more

This place is awesome!!! Child friendly (I take my 6 year old and he LOVES it) and great customer service. Would give 6 stars i I could read more

They are good. We go with my 4 kids and Elvis and Josh are very good. This is a great place to take your kids and have them hit balls and become better at baseball. read more

Came here with my girlfriend to try out batting cage for the first time. It was fun and a great experience. Also had a quick training session and that was very helpful too. Would definitely recommend! read more

Went here with my girlfriend because we thought it'd be fun (we don't play baseball normally) and it was super fun! Very easy to sign in and get set up, staff was super friendly and walked us through what to do. Seems like they easily accommodate amateurs like us and those looking to get some more serious cuts in. read more

Great place to practice. Clean, good cages, parking available. Aubrey at reception was very helpful! Highly recommended batting cages!

This is without a doubt the greatest place I have ever been to. The prices are great for the amount of fun that I had. The fun to price ratio is incredibly high. The bat selection is awesome! I have also been in for private instruction because everybody here knows their stuff. The instructors here have baseball knowledge that many dream of having. Also, the office service is great. Gabe, Peanut, and Casey are all fantastic at what they do. read more

Positive atmosphere, it's all about baseball and the owner JT is very cool. Also the location is clean and well maintained. Looking forward to returning. read more

Great facility. They keep their gear in like-new shape. Very personable and friendly.

My 11 year old son, Declan, has been working with TJ and he loves it. He's getting coaching and tips on hitting and it has helped him tremendously. TJ knows his stuff and takes the game to a whole new level! read more

my husband loved it here ...we came on a Saturday morning ...it was only a few people ...the staff was super friendly in explaining and setting everything up for us ...we did 30min for $25 plus and extra $5 to use the real baseball....I didn't think 30min was going to be enough for my husband but after about 15-20 of hitting, he was already getting tired lol ...we will be coming back 2-3 times a month on Saturday from now on ... thanks guys : ) read more

Called in Sunday morning to reserve a fastpitch softball cage for my 13 year-old daughter since her games were cancelled because of the rain. Came in and it was great, Richie was busy but still very helpful. When you come in you may not find anyone at the desk , he'll find you. The office is in the middle of the building. Looks like it may get busy. Cage balls were in good shape as was the pitching machine. read more

I really love this place. Every time I have come it has been easy, no hassle, and the employees have been really friendly. The only downside is that you really cannot come here alone because of the manual pitching machines, but that is not a huge deal. Make a reservation the day before and enjoy. read more

Awesome place! Great for kids of all ages! Make sure to reserve a time as they do fill up.

PLANNING A PARTY? THIS IS NOT THE PLACE - THEY DON'T WANT YOUR BUSINESS. I have been trying to plan a party at Baseball Central for two weeks. Twice I have been told that they can't commit to the August date and that I should call back. August is two months away - why can't they commit? I guess they don't want my money for a night when they would otherwise be closed - clearly they don't want your money either. Note to Management - tell prospective clients you are busy that night, don't tell people you can't commit. I wasn't asking for a relationship. And by the way, in order to get them to tell me they couldn't commit to the date, didn't know why they couldn't commit and didn't know when they would be able to commit, I had to send two unanswered emails, left two unanswered phone messages and had to call back a third time before i got GABE (the manager) on the phone. Never, ever using them for anything ever again. read more
