Young athletes often know what they want before adults ask: to make a team, to pitch, to stop being nervous at the plate. Youth Baseball Training in New Lenox, IL with Coach Cinz starts by asking, then builds a plan to get there.
Coach Cinz Baseball is a baseball and softball company established in 2019, with the tagline “Play. Develop. Belong.” Kyle, the coach, has over 25 years in the game, including five years with the Chicago White Sox organization before the pandemic. Our youth baseball training page explains how the program works.
What do kids gain beyond better mechanics?
Mechanics matter, and Coach Cinz teaches movements, mechanics and timing. But the mental game gets real attention too:
- Confidence to step in the box or on the mound.
- Mindset for bouncing back after a strikeout or error.
- Consistency so good days become normal days.
Parents in his Google reviews talk about improved confidence and a coach who stays patient with kids who learn differently. For young pitchers, he recommends following the MLB/USA Baseball Pitch Smart guidelines and resting a sore arm. Any pain should be checked by a doctor or athletic trainer.

Youth Baseball Training in New Lenox, IL: where to begin
The free Benchmark is the recommended first step. After that, families usually pick from:
- Private Lessons ($65 for 30 minutes), 1-on-1 on any skill.
- The Personal Assessment ($195, 1-on-1) for a full opinion on where your child stands.
- The Fielding Clinic ($204, 1.5 hours), built around the 6 F’s of a great infielder.
A membership saves $20 per lesson, and every athlete who books gets a Play 2 Earn Sports player profile.
How do we know it is working?
Progress should be visible, not just a feeling. The Benchmark measures your child’s starting metrics, so later sessions can show what has changed. New Lenox parents also tend to notice softer signs first: a player who is keen to practise, calmer before games, and more willing to try something new. Those changes are a good sign that the plan fits.
Kids from neighbouring towns train with us too, including softball hitting lessons in nearby Frankfort and baseball clinics for Joliet players.
