German term

Baseball-Abschlaganlage

German to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Baseball
This is in a list of facilities to be offered at an upmarket holiday resort in Mexico, so in addition to the tennis courts, swimming pool, skatepark, etc. It is listed as a Baseball-Abschlaganlage and then further described as "1 Trainings-Abschlaganlage".

Since I know virtually nothing about baseball, I am likely to end up with the wrong answer if I try and guess.
Proposed translations (English)

@gangels A "Schlaganlage" or "Abschlaganlage" appears to denote the whole batting cage, not just the pitching machine.

"Abschlaganlage" is also in use for driving ranges for golf.

ball-throwing/pitching machine you can practice your hitting in some sort of a cage. I know what it is, term is on the tip of my tongue...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "O no - a question that's impossible to grade without offending someone - the classic Kudoz dilemma of whether to give the points to the first quick answer or the second more thoroughly researched one. In this case I chose the latter, but thanks to Kathi too."
