I wonder how popular it would be if someone opened some... think they'd catch on? It's not like people have big back gardens for practicing at home.  Hmm...

Ok! Base MCR has batting cages!! 25 quid for 1/2 hour for party of 5.
Its actually under an overpass, built into the base of the bridge.. tiny....the cages are like 30 ft long and have a net ceiling at 7 ft, not ideal but ya work with what your given here  ;D
On the plus side they have a bar and lounge area with big ass screen to play Mario Carts on ;D ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to Britain hahahaha

Closest one to where I am in Berkshire is Richmond I think...They do exist here, they are just few and far between (and probably not as great as the ones you're used to back in the US.

I live near Richmond and have never heard of it.  Not something I’m into though, so could have missed it.

How about golf?  I saw a massive driving range the other day with two levels of places to Tee.  Absolutely huuuuuuge.

Just across the river from me!  Too bad I would rather eat dirt than play baseball.  Of all the American things to have close by....
