The Ontario Royals Baseball Club is excited to announce that
Fabio Del Rio has been appointed our Program Pitching Coordinator. Coach Del
Rio joined the Royals organization last season at the 16U level and helped
guide that pitching staff to a fantastic season that ended with a PBLO
Championship.
Coach Del Rio, originally from Ottawa and now living in
Waterdown, is also a Pitching Coach with the Brock University Badgers in the
OUA. Fabio played an integral part in
the development of all their pitchers, most notably 2019 Toronto Blue Jays
signee, Alex Nolan. That experience — working at the college/university level,
and developing pro-level talent — are just two of the many skills Coach Del Rio
will bring to the Ontario Royals program.
In his role as Pitching Coordinator, Coach Del Rio will oversee the pitchers’ programs for 15U, 16U, and 18U, while maintaining his day-to-day role as Pitching Coach for the 16U team.
Royals 12-week Pitcher Development Nights begin this Monday, September 23rd at the Royals Indoor Facility.
