On Behalf of Coach Sinacori….

“Chris has an innate ability to coach and uncover the talent in a baseball player. His players love him because of his high energy and his ease in conveying to them the adjustments they need to make to improve their game. His knowledge of pitching mechanics makes him irreplaceable within the industry. He is one of the best young coaches in the game of baseball, and I sure do wish he was still with the White Sox organization.”

- Don Cooper, Big League Pitching Coach, Chicago White Sox

“I have known Chris since recruiting him at the University of Tennessee, and our paths have crossed numerous times throughout our playing and coaching endeavors within both college and professional baseball. He’s the same great guy I have always known. One thing is for certain, his name brings knowledge and experience in the art of pitching, as well as smiles from his players because of the powerful impact he seems to have on their game and their lives.”

- Mark Connor, Big League Pitching Coach, Texas Rangers

“When Chris came to the Mariners organization he took us by surprise with his knowledge and incredible ability to coach. He rejuvenated an organization with his passion for the game and his philosophy of pitching inside. He then went on to help inspire his team to win a championship with the same enthusiasm he tackles everything. His impact will continue to be felt by his players as well as our staff for years to come.”

- Norm Charlton, Big League Pitching Coach, Seattle Mariners

“I started taking lessons from Coach Sina at age 11.  Even though people always overlooked me because of my size, he always knew that I had it in me to compete with the best, and he gave me the confidence and the tools I needed to get to where I am today. I made it through being able to play big time Division I College Baseball as a Friday night starter at Arizona State, and have gone on to play pro-ball with the Tampa Bay Rays. He has taught me everything from mound presence to reading hitter’s weaknesses to pitching in off the plate. He is by far the best pitching coach that I have ever had.”

- Josh Satow, Pitcher, Tampa Bay Rays

“For me, the difference between being a mediocre college pitcher and, at present, being in triple A with the Boston Red Sox, is Coach Sinacori. I went from being released from a small Division I program in 2002 after posting an ERA of around 7.65 to being a 5th year senior walk-on at ASU in 2003 where I left as a 3rd round draft pick by the Red Sox after instruction from Coach Sina. With him, I developed a change-up that I never had, velocity I never knew I could throw, and the philosophy of attacking a hitter with conviction. I probably would have never pitched past college if I had not met Coach Sinacori.”

- Beau Vaughn, Pitcher, Boston Red Sox

“Coach Sina is a great marriage between college and professional baseball because his instruction primes high school and college athletes for the next level. It is very rare to find a coach that has the experience that Chris has with his time working between college and pro, both as a coach and as a player in each, and his instruction is second to none and his ability to produce and assess talent in players is rare.”

- Therron Brockish, Scout, Philadelphia Phillies

“When Sina introduced me to the concept of pitching inside and how to pitch inside, it not only gave me another pitch, but it elevated my game to a whole new level. He is the one coach I call anytime I am out of wack mechanically or mentally and Sina always seems to get me back in a groove.”

- Jake Wild, Pitcher, Seattle Mariners

“My son was a highly touted high school prospect that was recruited by most of the nation’s top schools. He ultimately chose Wake Forest University where Coach Sinacori made the recruiting process easy for our entire family.” We knew all about his mechanical knowledge, but we felt that his mental training was the best of any college coach that we had met with and researched. We were deeply saddened when he departed Wake Forest.”

- Scott Adzick, Parent, Wake Forest University

“Chris brings an extensive amount of pitching knowledge to the table, but what separates Chris from many other pitching coaches is his ability to make the complex simple. Chris understands not only the mechanics of pitching, but how to uniquely implement this to each individual player based upon their age, personality and learning style. From my Major League pitchers down to my high school players they all love Chris and have seen immediate results that come from working with him. Chris is a huge asset here at Fischer Sports, and we are happy to have him.”

- Brett Fischer, P.T., A.T., C., C.S.C.S. Owner, Fischer Sports

“Being a pitcher that loves to pitch inside, it is hard to find many pitching coaches that understand the art. Well, Sina is one of them. He understands the intestinal fortitude it takes and the aggressiveness you must posses. Mechanically he seems to always find the one thing that I am not thinking about. Sina has great feel for delivery.”

- Sergio Mitre, Pitcher, New York Yankees

“Chris and I have had many conversations about pitching inside and what it takes to be a guy who can pound the ball inside to both right handed hitters and left handed hitters and still beat them.  He is a pitching coach that understands that if you can not pitch inside at the big league level, you probably can’t pitch at this level.”

- J.J. Putz, Pitcher, New York Mets

“The one topic of conversation that Sina and I have gotten in depth about is the adjustments that a pitcher needs to make with regards to pitch selection and the types of pitches that he throws. What works in today’s game compared to what worked 10 years ago is completely different; the one exception being that pitching inside works in any decade. I enjoy talking to Chris because he understands this concept.”

- Mike Hampton, Pitcher, Houston Astros

“I have never met a coach who can relate to a Big League pitcher and then turn around and relate to a high school player without skipping a beat. It is very rare to find a pitching coach that knows both pitching mechanics and the mental side of the game and has the ability to then convey each of these to pitchers. This really separates Coach Sina from most when it comes to finding a pitching coach that you can trust.”

-Carl Pavano, Pitcher, Cleveland Indians
