Falmouth High School baseball boosters is funding the construction of a new 3 tunnel batting cage at the FHS varsity baseball field.
The cages will be located directly behind the home team dug out and will consist of 3 – 50 foot enclosed hitting tunnels and will provide for several hitting T stations.
Coach Mike D’Andrea and Scott Kidder are overseeing the construction. The foundation was completed in the spring.
In early October the 8 6×6 posts that will support netting was installed. Special “thank you” to Far Horizon Property Maintenance for donating their equipment and services.

All 8 poles installed. Ready for the turf to be installed.
The initial installation of the turf is complete.
The cages will be complete for 2021 spring training.
The batting cages are a top priority for in-coming coach Mike D’Andrea. He emphasized that it is a necessary component to allow the players to get the swing reps they otherwise would not get. The boosters are anticipating that this will be a cornerstone for the baseball program for years to come.
