Professional Baseball Instruction of Illinois

Professional Baseball Instruction of Illinois has been part of the local diamond scene since 2001, launched in Barrington as the Illinois branch of the PBI network started by New Jersey pro Doug Cinnella. The Lake Barrington facility features roughly 22,000 square feet of training space with multiple batting cages, pitching mounds, and a full-size indoor infield on Northpointe Parkway. [1][4]

Programming runs year-round: private lessons, skill-specific clinics and camps, plus travel teams that compete across age levels — recent slates have included 9U–15U baseball and 12U–14U softball — with structured practices, games, and tournament play. Tryout details and sample pricing are posted for families planning their seasons. [1][2]

The staff draws from current and former professional players, college players, and high school coaches, with deep local ties. In 2010, the operation listed a coaching group of about 25 instructors working with players as young as six through high school. [1][3]

A 2010 snapshot of the setup detailed a 35,000-square-foot complex near the Field House with a full indoor “major league” infield, professional turf, 30-foot ceilings, and Iron Mike batting cages, with Dave Trautwein at the helm at the time. [3]

PBI-Illinois remains a go-to for athletes looking to sharpen fundamentals through Midwest winters, with a Lake Barrington address and local contact keeping the focus close to home. [1][4]
