Love home runs? You're in the right place. Home Run Dugout (HRD) is a brand new way to play America's pastime.

HRD is a baseball/softball-themed entertainment company looking to “Make America’s pastime more accessible and entertaining for players of all ages and skill levels.” The experience is centered around HRD’s patented Batting Bays where players compete against friends/family/coworkers in various batting games tailored to all skill levels using proprietary ground-up pitching machines and virtual baseball stadiums. Additionally, HRD locations offer high-quality food and beverage offerings from a full-service sports bar/restaurant.

After proving the concept’s popularity and economics at their first facility in Round Rock, TX, HRD recently opened its first full-scale venue in Katy, TX. Backed by Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan (Ryan-Sanders Baseball) and entertainment industry experts Ring on Hook and Arco Murray (TopGolf, iFly, Chicken N Pickle, PuttShack, Andretti, etc.) HRD is on track to open 3-5 additional facilities in the next three years. Additionally, HRD started execution on a product licensing strategy that leverages their patented technology to put HRD Batting Bays into partner facilities.
