It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mario Ortiz, President of Illinois Premier and Partner in Baseball Institute. As we grapple with this devastating loss, we also reflect on the man Mario was and what he represented not only within our organization, but to all who came in contact with him. He was a man of faith, a cherished friend, a proud father, a devoted husband, and a humble leader. This leaves an irreplaceable hole in some of our lives, in our organization and the lives of all the players he coached along the way.
​Sincerely,
Chris Pack 

The Ortiz family and Baseball Institute announce the Mario Ortiz Scholarship Fund. This fund will be the starting point for current and future high school students to receive a college scholarship in his name.

Developing Players Since 2012

​Since its inception over ten years ago, Baseball Institute has been developing ball players as athletes and as people. Owned and operated by former and current professional baseball players, there is no better place to learn and grow. We provide team, group and individual instruction in all aspects of baseball and softball as well as our facilities for teams and athletes to use on their own accord. With the goal of being role models and examples for players both on and off the field, we hope to make a positive impact on young athletes everywhere. 

We are proud of the past ten years and are looking forward to serving and guiding the next generation of athletes for many years to come. We want to thank all past, present and future members of the Baseball Institute family.

Two great facilities with outstanding instructors. My son worked with Erik Lis for a few months and was a completely different hitter afterwards. He's definitely looking forward to scheduling more private lessons.
