welcome

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, and attended Riverside University High School, where I played varsity baseball all four years as a pitcher and utility player. During my time at Riverside, I was named First Team All-Conference for three consecutive years in both positions.

 

After graduating, I continued my baseball career at Connors State College, playing two years of junior college baseball under the winningest coach in JUCO history. While at Connors, I also competed in the Junior College World Series. I then transferred to Oklahoma Panhandle State University to complete my playing career.

​

In addition to playing two seasons with the Lakeshore Chinooks, I have been training young athletes for the past eight years. As a trainer, I specialize in developing pitchers, focusing on enhancing their skills and performance.

A Milwaukee, Wisconsin native, Savier Pinales began his college baseball career in 2019 at Wabash Valley Community College (WVCC) as a starting shortstop, hitting .362 with 45 stolen bases and 4 home runs. In 2020, after committing to Illinois State, he returned to WVCC due to COVID, elevating his game to new heights with a .498 batting average, 64 stolen bases, and 6 home runs. He earned first-team All-Conference, All-American honors, was named the region’s Player of the Year, and the nation's Junior College Player of the Year.

In 2022,

 

Pinales accepted a full scholarship to the University of Gonzaga, starting at shortstop before transitioning to second base. He hit .297, stole 17 bases, and recorded 4 home runs, earning WCC Honorable Mention honors. That summer, he played in the MLB Draft League with the West Virginia Black Bears, coached by former MLB player Jedd Gyorko, and competed in the Cape Cod League with the Brewster Whitecaps.

 

Entering his senior year, Pinales is Gonzaga’s starting second baseman. A top-tier athlete and former MLB prospect, he has also showcased his talent in the Northwoods League and Alaska Baseball League.

Milwaukee Riverside High School

​ Throughout high school and college I was a primary catcher and secondary infielder. I have now switched to playing primarily second and third base after finishing college but love teaching the fundamentals and mindset of catching. I played all four years at Riverside University High School, receiving All-conference catcher my junior and senior year.

 

After graduating, played two years in junior college in Iowa, receiving All-region catcher my sophomore year. Following that, I finished my college playing career at Division II University of Illinois at Springfield, then transferred to University of Wisconsin-Madison to finish my bachelor’s degree.

 

Currently, I play for the West Allis Nationals in the Wisconsin State League. Since graduating high school, I have instructed baseball through many different outlets. I started training while in high school with the Boys and Girls Club of Milwaukee. I spent a couple years working with the Milwaukee Brewers Youth Baseball Academy and since have done private training. I specialize in training catching and hitting but have a good knowledge of all positions.
