312 Baseball Lab is a nonprofit youth baseball and softball training facility on Chicago's south side, founded to lower the cost barrier for players from low-income neighborhoods. The services listed on its site are private lessons, semi-private lessons, team training and its own 312 travel teams, taught by former and current professional players, former college players and area coaches; all instructors pass fingerprint background checks, and the organization hires female instructors for fastpitch where possible. A sponsor-a-player program and fundraising events subsidize participation.

★★★★★M HMy son recently met with coach Martin for a hitting and fielding assessment. From the start, it was clear that the coaches truly care about helping young players develop their skills. One thing I really appreciated was how coach Martin took the time to break down and clearly explain the proper way to hit and field. Instead of just running drills, he focused on teaching the mechanics step by step so my son could really understand what he is doing. I highly recommend 312 Baseball Lab, to any baseball/softball player looking to develop strong fundamentals.
★★★★★Alma PreciadoWe just started working with the expert team at 312 Baseball Lab, and I am beyond impressed with the level of professionalism every coach brings to the table. Working with kids of all ages and skill levels, the coaches truly meet each player where they are and focus on specific skills to help them improve over time. They explain each drill in clear detail, pause to provide feedback and make adjustments when needed, and keep the kids motivated every step of the way. As a mother of two boys, what I’ve loved most is the genuine connection my kids have already made with their coach after just a few sessions. They are excited, engaged, and genuinely look forward to their next session! If you’re looking for a high-quality, thoughtful, and supportive baseball training environment in Chicago, I can’t recommend 312 Baseball Lab enough.
★★★★★Marseilla CollinsI have been looking for a place to sharpen my sons baseball skills and I’m glad I found this place. Martin was very helpful and explained the different techniques to help his hitting improve. With the hour lesson he received it definitely improved and he also had a great time learning. Sometimes my son feels defeated at practices but Martin made him feel comfortable with making mistakes and letting him know it’s a learning process. My son is excited to return for weekly sessions.
★★★★★Ygmar MonagasTo the 312 Family, From the very beginning of your project, 312 opened its doors to us and welcomed my 12U son as family, giving him an opportunity right from the start. The parents of 312, the coaches, and especially Coach Martín, have been a fundamental support for my son’s growth and development. Now, you have given us the opportunity once again with the new 8U generation, and we are truly grateful. We are committed to working hard as a team to proudly represent the name of 312 and continue building this amazing journey together. Thank you for your trust and support. 🙏
★★★★★Guillermo BerubenI can't recommend Coach Martin and 312 Baseball Lab enough! Having worked with many 1 on 1 coaches for both my son's baseball and my daughter's softball, Coach Martin truly stands out. His passion for teaching and his personalized approach—where he tailors his instruction to each player's unique swing—set him apart. My daughter, Viviana, has not only improved her skills but also gained the confidence to hit the ball with power. If you're looking for a place to elevate your child's game, 312 Baseball Lab is the best choice. Coach Martin's passion is contagious!
