Vinny Cuviello

Pitching Coordinator – Prospects 10u-18u

A former standout right-hander at Kenmore East, Vinny Cuviello was a member of

Clingersmith’s first two teams at NCCC. He then transferred to SUNY Cortland where

he helped the Red Dragons to a runner-up finish at the 2010 NCAA Div. III World

Series.

From 2012-2020, Cuviello had annually helped develop one of the best junior-college

pitching staffs in the country as evidenced by four Region III Championships and a

quartet of appearances in the NJCAA Div. III World Series. In both 2012 and 2017, the

NCCC Thunderwolves finished second in the country. He has also helped move several

dozen hurlers on to four-year colleges and universities.

Since 2022, Cuviello joined the Prospects organization as Pitching Coordinator for all

age groups 10u-18u. I touch on many areas including pitch development, mechanics,

pick-offs/holding runners on, mound presence/body language, arm-care/recovery

throwing, band routine, strength training using weighted balls (age appropriate),

core-velocity belt use, etc. My main focus is developing kids to become pitchers and not

throwers. Anyone who buys in and puts the time in to work, and create good habits for

themselves will help lead to desired results.
