Where did the phrase Texas leaguer come from?
According to John Marshall of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: " It is agreed that this term for a bloop single into the outfield dates from around the start of the 20th century. But where it came from is the subject of at least a half dozen theories, as recounted in Paul Dickson's authoritative "New Dickson Baseball Dictionary." The Texas League theories range from a team in the Texas League that specialized in the use of the bloop single as an offensive weapon; to the effects of strong Gulf Stream winds on outfield flies in the Texas League; to the debut of Ollie Pickering, either in the majors or the Texas League, who came to bat and proceeded to run off a string of seven straight bloop hits.

How many balls can a pitcher throw in one inning without the other team scoring?
23 - If the pitcher picks-off 2 of the runners, he can then walk two more batters before pithing 3 balls to the final batter.
I think that it could be 24. If the pitcher picks off 2 of the runners after loading the bases as you say. The pitcher walks two more hitters to load the bases. Then the pitcher throws 4 balls to the next hitter but the runner from third fails to touch home plate and on appeal, that runner is called out to end the inning.
The question is about a practice facility, not a stadium.
As a General Contractor that owns a private baseball team and has built numerous "sports structures" such as batting cages, fencing, dugouts, etc. - my best shot from the hip would be around 875K for the buildings, cement work, infrastructure, and planning. Land costs and development expenses are a whole other issue and planning commissions may want the surrounding area to be improved or have you fit the bill for public safety items like street lights , sidewalks, and road construction.
