Baseball "L" Screen Basics

Hello and Good Morning. Having a baseball pitching "L" screen is a must if you are buying a new batting cage. The "L" shape design of this screen gives it its name and provides a protective barrier to protect the batting practice pitcher.

Buying tips for buying an baseball pitcher's "L" screen.
  • Do not try to save money by buying a small screen. The larger the screen, the better, when it comes to a pitcher's safety.
  • A "sock" designed net fits over the frame like a sock. The frame is constructed and then the net is slide down onto the frame and tied intot place. "Sock" nets provide "double" protection because they provide two layers of net protection.
  • Make sure that you buy a "L" screen made of "heavy-duty" netting. Most "L" screens are made of #36 netting. Anything lighter in weight is not recommended.
  • Regularly check your "L" screen for holes, tears, or loose bindings. If you find a problem, repair it immediately. If it can not be repaired, "shut down all cage work" until the "L" screen is replaced.

I hope these tips are helpful to you. Have a great day, Nick
