Pitchers warm up cage? Batting cage? (4/7)

`This cage sits behind the dugout on the softball field of Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. Didn't have these when I played ball. What is the purpose of this cage?. Batting cage? Pitchers warm up cage?

Olympus OM-D EM-1

As a professional pitching coach working for The Atlanta Braves, I've see a lot of these, but the one's I seen always had a mound with a rubber to throw off of, and to set up a ball throwing machine for hitters to take batting practice. I'm not well acquainted with girls' softball. But if I was their coach they wouldn't warm up there. I have them warm up in the on-field bullpen to become comfortable with the actual playing environment. They would be welcome to use the cage for keep loose and sharp between pitching in a game.
