“We could not be happier with the expert training our son has received at Northern Nevada Baseball Club. Chris and his professional staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about teaching kids the game of baseball. Jace has not only learned the necessary mechanics and strategies to succeed at the game, he's developed confidence, effective communication skills and has become a better teammate, leader and player. We are so grateful that professional athletes like Chris Aguila, are committed to helping local kids succeed at the sports they love.”

“Northern Nevada Baseball Club is such a great asset to our area. At NNBC they teach hard work, dedication and a genuine love of the game. Chris Aguila is such a wonderful mentor and role model. He and his coaching staff aren’t just building good baseball players but also hard-working and dedicated young men off the field. We are so glad that our son has the opportunity to be part of NNBC. Chris is a first-class individual, running a first class organization.”
-Steve Talafuse (parent)
“I’ve known Chris Aguila for 14 years and have played against him at the Major League level even longer. Chris is a former teammate and friend that I would highly recommend to any baseball player who is extremely competitive and looking to get better. He understands how to combine the physical and mental side of the game as well as anybody. He is able to look at mechanics and combine that with technology and data to help players improve in areas of strength and weakness. Chris’ knowledge and experience are huge assets to any player that has the drive to be the best.”
-Nick Green (former MLB infielder and MLB Broadcaster)
“I’ve known Chris for over 18 years. First as his agent and most recently as his friend. When I first started representing Chris as a player I was struck by his serene calmness and genuine humility. I’ve seen him make tough decisions with the confidence of a man that is certain of his purpose. We’ve had long conversations about how much he cares about making a difference in a player’s life and it’s that belief that makes Chris one of a kind. If only I lived closer, I would send any player to him that had an interest in playing professionally.”
-Matt Hannaford (Executive Vice President and MLBPA certified sports agent at MVP Sports Group)
“We have seen such growth in our boys since joining NNBC. They are not only better baseball players, they are better teammates and leaders. This organization has taught them about integrity, perseverance, hard work, and overcoming adversity and disappointment. They understand how to win, as a team, with pride and humility and how to lose with grace and determination. I cannot recommend the NNBC family enough.”
-Julie Mathews (parent)
“Chris Aguila and Northern Nevada Baseball Club completely changed the athletic path my son was on. My son went from receiving offers to play Division 1 football to hitting game winning homeruns in his Senior year of high school. Chris created a love of baseball within my son that had not existed prior to joining NNBC. Chris’s kind demeanor, professionalism, and patience allowed by son to play baseball at Lassen Community College and fulfill his desire to compete at the next level. We are truly grateful for Chris and Northern Nevada Baseball Club.”
-Dave Lariviere (parent)
“My son went from earning all Cs and Ds before coming to NNBC. NNBC gave him another outlet to channel his emotions after his mom passed away. It's ironic that Chris Aguila has made it to the highest level of baseball, MLB, yet remains the most humble, approachable, and knowledgeable travel coach in our area. NNBC helped my son have the confidence to earn all As and Bs during his 8th grade year and receive a scholarship to Bishop Manogue High School where he is currently a freshman showing much promise in academics, baseball, football, and life overall. Thank you especially to Coach Chris Aguila, Coach Drew Clark, Coach Pete Daley, and ALL of the NNBC coaches and staff for making such a profound difference in the life of a young man growing up in a single father household. Adam and I are beyond grateful for this organization.”
-Rondel D. Methvin (parent)
"I first met Chris when I was a Junior in college. He instantly became a great mentor and then after spending many years together he became a great friend. He helped me launch my MLB career and also my coaching career. He has been there for me every step of the way. I can’t thank him enough and what NNBC means to me."
