For hitters about 47 minutes from our facility, the smartest plan mixes in-person visits with online feedback. Baseball Batting Training in Orland Park, IL with Coach Cinz is built that way, so progress does not stall between trips.
Coach Cinz brings over 25 years in baseball as a player or coach, including five years before the pandemic as a hitting instructor (among other roles) with the Chicago White Sox organization. Our baseball hitting lessons hub has the full approach.
How can Orland Park hitters train with a Naperville coach?
Orland Park is in Cook County, about 27 miles southeast of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville, a drive of about 47 minutes. That is manageable, but not every night. Here is the hybrid plan we suggest:
- Plan in-person sessions at the facility. The swing changes that matter most are best taught face to face.
- Double up on each visit. Two back-to-back 30-minute Private Lessons ($65 each) give time to learn a change and then repeat it.
- Stay on track online. Between visits, send a swing for Video Analysis ($35) or book a Zoom Lesson ($65, 30 minutes).
Orland Park families who follow this rhythm usually find the drive feels less like a chore, because each visit has a clear goal and the online check-ins keep momentum between trips. The Benchmark results help decide how often in-person visits make sense.
What the batting work looks like
Coach Cinz sees timing as the most important part of hitting. Many hitters who “can’t catch up” have a timing problem, not a strength problem. He works from timing into movements and mechanics, and explains the “why” behind every adjustment so the hitter can own it.
That focus on timing is also what makes the hybrid plan work for Orland Park hitters. Timing drills can be practiced at home with a tee, soft toss or front toss, then checked on video, so each visit to Naperville starts from a better place instead of starting over.
The mental side matters too. Confidence, mindset and consistency are built into each session. One review theme parents mention: a 12-year-old who used to freeze at the plate hit his first home run.
Group work is available as well. The Hitting Clinic is 1.5 hours of swing technique for $204, and players 16 and up can test themselves in Beat the Coach, with live at-bats tracked by HitTrax.

Orland Park families ask
How often should an Orland Park hitter come to Naperville?
It depends on the goals set in the Benchmark. The facility is about 47 minutes and 27 miles from Orland Park, so many families plan fewer, longer visits with two 30-minute lessons back to back, and use Video Analysis or Zoom Lessons to keep working between trips.
Can an Orland Park player get swing feedback without making the drive?
Yes. With Video Analysis ($35), a hitter submits a video of his swing and gets drills back. A Zoom Lesson ($65, 30 minutes) is a live 1-on-1 session online, with a consultation first. Both work well between in-person visits, and neither one requires the drive.
