Train Like the Pros at The Hitting House
Tucked inside The St. James — one of the largest multi-sport complexes in the country — the Hitting House is an 8,000 square foot, all-turf indoor training space built for serious baseball and softball development.
Whether you're a youth player working on bat speed, a high school athlete chasing a college roster spot, or a team looking for a consistent off-season training home, the Hitting House has the space and technology to meet you where you are.
Six fully enclosed hitting and pitching tunnels are outfitted with Hack Attack pitching machines — trusted by coaches at every level for their ability to replicate real pitch movement across fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. HitTrax performance tracking gives hitters immediate feedback on exit velocity, launch angle, distance, and more, so every session translates to measurable progress.
