A private lesson is the most direct way to fix one thing well. For families looking at Private Baseball Lessons in Batavia, IL, Coach Cinz offers 1-on-1 sessions built around a single player’s goals, whether that is a quicker bat, a cleaner throwing motion or more confidence on the mound.
Each Private Lesson is $65 for 30 minutes and can cover any skill: hitting, pitching, infield, outfield or catching. Players who want more time can book several 30-minute blocks back to back. Our full private baseball lessons overview explains how sessions are planned.
Why choose 1-on-1 training over a team practice?
Team practices have to serve a whole roster. A private session serves one athlete. Coach Cinz watches every rep, spots the pattern behind the miss, and explains why each adjustment matters. His focus is movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing, along with the mental game: confidence, mindset and consistency.
That approach comes from over 25 years in baseball as a player or coach, including five years before the pandemic as a hitting, fielding and pitching instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization, working mainly with pre-draft players in the local area.
It also means the pace fits the player. A younger athlete might spend a whole session on balance and a simple load, while an older player getting ready for a tryout might work on handling velocity or turning a double play. Parents in his Google reviews (4.9 stars from 66) often say he explains the “why” behind each change and stays patient with kids who learn differently.
Where Batavia players train
Batavia is in Kane County, about 13.4 miles northwest of our Naperville home base. The drive to The Play & Thrive Club Naperville takes about 25 minutes, which suits a lesson before dinner. Families can choose between:
- the indoor facility in Naperville, especially in the off-season and on rainy days, or
- a location of their choice within the Chicagoland area, such as a field where the player already practices.
Private lessons can also run virtually, which helps when a Batavia athlete wants a quick check-in between in-person sessions.

Batavia families ask
Do Batavia players have to drive to Naperville for every private lesson?
No. The Naperville facility is about 25 minutes and 13.4 miles from Batavia, but private lessons can also be held at a location of the client's choice within the Chicagoland area, or run virtually. Many families mix the indoor facility in the off-season with outdoor sessions closer to home.
What skills can a Batavia player work on in a private lesson?
Any skill. A 30-minute Private Lesson can focus on hitting, pitching, infield, outfield or catching. Coach Cinz uses the goals from the free Benchmark to decide where to start, and players who need more time on one skill can book two or more blocks in a row.
