Hitters get better with regular feedback, and that feedback doesn’t always have to happen in person. Baseball Hitting Lessons in Orland Hills, IL with Coach Cinz mix in-person work at the Naperville facility with quick online check-ins, so a young hitter hears from the coach more often than the drive alone would allow.
Coach Cinz has over 25 years in baseball, including five years before the pandemic as an instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization. His hitting method is laid out on our baseball hitting lessons page.
Is the drive from Orland Hills to Naperville practical?
Orland Hills is in Cook County, about 30.2 miles southeast of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville. The drive takes about 49 minutes. That is fine now and then, but tough every week during the season. So we suggest a simple rhythm:
- In person: plan a facility visit and book two back-to-back 30-minute Private Lessons ($65 each).
- At home: send swing clips through Video Analysis ($35) and get drills back.
- Online: book a 30-minute Zoom Lesson ($65) for live feedback, with a consultation first.
Baseball Hitting Lessons in Orland Hills, IL: what we work on
Coach Cinz focuses on movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing. A swing that looks good but starts late won’t hold up against real pitching. He also works on confidence and consistency, because a hitter’s mindset decides a lot of at-bats. Reviews highlight how he explains the “why” behind each adjustment, which helps hitters practise the right thing when they are on their own.
How do I film a swing for Video Analysis?
Keep it simple. Film from the side and from behind, keep the whole body in frame, and use a steady phone. A few clean swings are enough. Coach Cinz replies with drills matched to what he sees. Softball hitters can use the same process.
A membership saves $20 per lesson. Every athlete who books also gets a Play 2 Earn Sports player profile to track progress.
A realistic month for an Orland Hills hitter
One facility visit with two back-to-back lessons can set the direction. Then two or three Video Analysis clips keep the hitter honest about the changes, and a Zoom Lesson in the middle of the month gives live correction. Orland Hills players who follow this kind of rhythm get regular touchpoints with the coach without spending every weekend in the car. The exact mix depends on goals and schedule, and Coach Cinz will suggest one after the Benchmark.

Orland Hills families ask
Can an Orland Hills hitter train mostly online?
Yes. Zoom Lessons give live 1-on-1 feedback, and Video Analysis turns a swing clip into drills. Many Orland Hills families combine these online options with an occasional trip to the Naperville facility, about 49 minutes away, for hands-on swing work with Coach Cinz.
What should an Orland Hills family book on a facility visit?
Because of the drive, two back-to-back 30-minute Private Lessons often make the trip worthwhile. The Hitting Clinic, which runs 1.5 hours and focuses on swing technique, is another good option. Coach Cinz can suggest what fits best after the free Benchmark.
