New Indoor Facility Stops Winter From Freezing Out Novi Baseball

For Major League Baseball, spring training has begun in the warmer climates of Florida and Arizona.

But how do Novi baseball and softball get back into playing shape before the season starts when the mercury doesn’t even reach 30 degrees?

A new indoor facility that opened in January is now providing that answer.

The Strike Zone Indoor Training Facility, 48155 West Road, Wixom, is a 7,500-square-foot practice center that was created through a partnership between the Novi Youth Baseball League, Novi Heat baseball and Motor City Madness fast-pitch softball, according to a HometownLife report.

The facility houses batting cages and a padded artificial turf infield area, the report said. Its most unique feature is that it’s a nonprofit center devoted to the needs of Novi area community baseball and softball teams, the report added.
