Excited to welcome Chris Corbett to the instruction staff!

Chris combines a focus on fundamental skills and an analytical approach to development that is underpinned by a belief in the importance of character. He will instruct players of all ages in hitting, catching, pitching, fielding, and basic baseball skills.

Chris graduated from High Point Christian Academy in 2013 before playing college baseball at Rollins College from 2014-2017. He was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 18th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. Chris played in the Giants minor league system from 2017 to 2019, reaching High-A with the San Jose Giants.

Chris began his coaching career in 2020 as an assistant coach and head junior varsity coach at North Carolina Wesleyan College. He worked primarily with the team’s hitters and catchers. He then served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Randolph-Macon College for two seasons (2022-2023).

In 2024, Chris joined the Kansas City Royals organization as an assistant hitting coach for the High-A Quad Cities River Bandits. He was promoted in 2025 to the same role with the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals and will remain with the organization for the 2026 season.
