From LaSalle County, the quickest way to get feedback from Coach Cinz is online. Online Baseball Lessons in Ottawa, IL come in three sizes: a quick video review, a live Zoom session, or a full scouting evaluation. The right one depends on what your player needs right now.
Coach Cinz has been in baseball for over 25 years and spent five years before the pandemic coaching pre-draft players with the Chicago White Sox organization. Our online lessons and swing analysis page covers each option in detail.
Video Analysis, Zoom or Full Scouting Analysis: which should we choose?
Video Analysis ($35) is best for one specific question, such as “why do I pop up?” Send a clip of the skill and get drills back.
Zoom Lesson ($65, 30 min) is best for ongoing progress. It is live 1-on-1 coaching online, with a consultation first.
Full Scouting Analysis ($390, 3 hrs) is best for a complete picture. Coach Cinz evaluates hitting, pitching, fielding and base running in depth and writes a detailed report. It suits older players who want to know exactly where their game stands.

When is a trip to Naperville worth it?
Ottawa is about 45.9 miles southwest of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville, roughly 73 minutes by car. That is too far for a weekly 30-minute lesson, but an occasional trip is worthwhile for a Personal Assessment ($195, 1-on-1) or a 1.5-hour hitting, pitching or fielding clinic ($204).
Making a great video from Ottawa
Good clips make better feedback. Film in good light with a steady phone, keep the whole body in frame, and send a few repetitions rather than one. For hitting, film from the side and from behind. For pitching and throwing, film from the side. Ottawa players who send clear clips get more precise drills, and they can compare new clips against old ones to see progress. Every athlete who books also gets a Play 2 Earn Sports player profile to track stats and goals. If your family is in Ottawa and wants a first in-person check, pair the trip with a clinic date.
Players from neighbouring towns train with us too, including fielding training for families in nearby Morris and hitting lessons in nearby Sandwich.
