Berwyn sits in the western Chicago suburbs, one of the areas Coach Cinz serves. Baseball Batting Training in Berwyn, IL is designed for hitters who want real, lasting changes to their swing rather than a quick fix before the next game.
Coach Cinz spent five years before the pandemic as a hitting instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization, mostly with pre-draft players. The way he teaches the swing is laid out on our baseball hitting lessons page.
How long is the trip from Berwyn to Naperville?
Berwyn is in Cook County, about 26.7 miles east of Naperville. The drive is about 42 minutes. Batting sessions run at The Play & Thrive Club in the off-season and on rainy days, and private lessons can also be arranged at a location of your choice within Chicagoland.
Because the trip takes some planning, many families choose a rhythm like this:
- An in-person session, often two 30-minute blocks back to back.
- A Video Analysis ($35) between sessions: send a clip of the swing and get drills back.
- Another in-person session to check progress.
Where does Baseball Batting Training in Berwyn, IL begin?
It begins with the hitter’s goals. The free Benchmark starts with an online form, and Coach Cinz replies within 48 hours with times to measure current metrics. From there, lessons focus on three things:
- Timing, which he treats as the most important piece.
- Movements and mechanics, so the body works in the right order.
- Confidence, so the hitter trusts the swing in a game.
One review describes a 12-year-old who went from freezing at the plate to hitting his first home run. Results like that come from steady work, and every player’s path is different.
Parents from the western suburbs sometimes ask whether they should wait for the weather to warm up before starting. There is no need. The Naperville facility is used in the off-season and on rainy days, and winter is often the best time to change a swing, because there are no games to worry about. By the time the season starts, the new movement has had weeks to settle in. Video Analysis then helps check that it holds up once the hitter is back on the field.

Berwyn families ask
Do Berwyn hitters need to drive to Naperville every week?
Not necessarily. The facility is about 42 minutes from Berwyn, so many families pair in-person sessions with Video Analysis at home. Private lessons can also be held at a location of your choice in the Chicagoland area, which may shorten the trip for some sessions.
How does Video Analysis help a Berwyn batter?
The hitter records a swing and sends it in. For $35, Coach Cinz reviews the clip and sends back drills that target what he sees. It is a low-cost way to keep working on timing and mechanics between in-person batting sessions in Naperville.
