Dante Nori has Kyle Schwarber to help him again. This time as a teammate of the Philis.

Clearwater, flower. – In a recent morning in the camp, shortly before Philises They were scheduled to leave for a road game in Lakeland, Florida, Dante Nori passed through the Club House.

The first round of 2024 had been summoned from the minor leagues camp as a reserve for the Pomelo de los Filis League game against the Tigers that March 1 in the afternoon. I had a bus to catch, but I had someone whom I wanted to greet first.

The clubhouse in Baycare Ballpark was full of regular customers of the major leagues and can be an intimidating place for some perspectives, especially those that experience their first professional spring. But it helps when one of the team’s veterans is his occasional batting partner out of season.

Nori made a line Kyle SchwarberThat he was not scheduled to play in the road game that day, to tell him the news.

It was a quick greeting. As a support gardener on the travel list, Nori was not guaranteed to go to the field that day, and indeed, he did not, but Schwarber told him to be ready no matter what.

Schwarber and Nori have known since 2012Schwarber’s first year in Indiana. Fred Nori, Dante’s grandfather, was a baseball assistant coach there and recruited Schwarber to play for the Hoosiers. Fred is known as “The Local Baseball Legend” in the hometown of Schwarber in Middletown, Ohio.

“(Fred) trained in the area for a long time, secondary and those things. And I got to know him when I was probably in high school, ”said Schwarber. “The grandfather (Dante) lives just 10 minutes from the street. I enter and steal your path of entry when it snows, I will take my side by side and start your entrance path. ”

When Dante began to get more seriously in baseball, Schwarber took him under his wing. Throughout Nori’s four years in Northville High School in Michigan, he hit Schwarber in the low season when he visited his grandfather in Ohio.

Nori is now 20 years old. This winter did the same. But instead that a high school student worked with a professional, they were two members of the organization of the Philis who arrived together.

“He has many resources around him to be there, to have conversations,” said Schwarber. “I, his grandfather, other people we all know. All this type of help on the road, if there is any help you need. “

On the plate, Nori and Schwarber do not have many similarities. Nori’s approach is oriented to contact, while Schwarber is known for his pure power and imposing home runs. But that also means that Nori has a lot that he can learn.

“It’s a great experience. You can listen to your way and how you think about hitting, ”said Nori. “I mean, we are two different types of batters. One hits balls as hard as anyone in the world. But just listen to what you have to say, your routine, see what you do and simply try everything.

“(I will ask), ‘Hey, what are you doing in the box here? What are you thinking here? Types of releases, types of pitchers, which is thinking of account. So only choose what you have to say. “

Schwarber is no stranger to Dispense batting tipsBut he is not trying to overwhelm Nori with instructions, since he embarks on his first complete professional season.

“You don’t want to try to say: ‘This is how it is done’, because they are all different; everyone will have their own experience,” said Schwarber. “You need to have those experiences. You can’t say: ‘This is how you do. This is how you don’t.

Nori has been in Clearwater since January, arriving early to participate in the Filis High Performance Camp and obtain the disposal of the Earth before the minor leagues camp officially opened the first week of March.

While Nori did not play in the Pomelo League game that day, he already has his professional debut to his credit. A month after the Philis selected him 27 in general, Nori joined Low-A Clearwater for 14 games at the end of the 2024 season. During that brief period, he hit .240 with a triple and had a 24%walking rate.

Nori, whose speed is one of its best attributes, also stole four bases.

“I think maturity is there, the aspect of understanding things and knowing itself,” said Schwarber. “I think it is a great thing in our game, it is to be able to know yourself and be honest, and be a good self -evaluator. He has that. I think the most important thing is not to retire from any challenge. And I don’t think that is going to do that. “

Nori is younger than Schwarber when he was recruited by the puppies as Junior of Indiana in 2014. But he is also equipped to deal with the pressures that entails being a first round selection. Dante’s father, Micah, is no stranger to the Professional Sports Center, as an assistant NBA coach for a long time.

And, of course, Dante is the grandson of a Middletown baseball legend, and is a friend of another.

“I remember when they recruited me, that everyone will always have an opinion, right?” Schwarber said. “It is their work to go out and keep them away from their heads, and just bury their heads and try to find a way to continue improving every day. And I feel that he has that mentality. “
