About six years ago, John Magri and Adam Froemming met while coaching their boys in Alexandria Little League. Now they’ve teamed up for a new pitch to the community: a place to practice indoors year round.
The veteran-owned D-BAT ALX West End opened Nov. 2 at 6200 D Little River Turnpike just outside city limits in Lincolnia. The 15,000-square-foot facility includes 10 batting cages, three machines throwing baseballs and softballs at varying speeds, five cages for hitting and infield lessons, two dedicated pitching lanes and a Rawlings and Easton pro shop.
