**Mario Chiarini** (born 7 January 1981) is an Italian professional [baseball](/source/Baseball) player who competed in the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics).[1] He's the current captain of the [Italian team](/source/Italy_national_baseball_team).

## Career

### Club

Mario Chiarini was 16 years old in his senior debut, in 1997, for his hometown team [Rimini Baseball](/source/Rimini_Baseball_Club).

### Minor league

Chiarini played for the [Arizona League Mariners](/source/Arizona_League_Mariners) in 2000.

### Back to club

After his stint with Mariners, Chiarini continued his career in Rimini from 2001 to 2015. With Rimini he won 3 Italian championships, and 2 national cups. Chiarini currently plays for the [T&A San Marino](/source/San_Marino_Baseball_Club).

### International

Mario Chiarini has played for [Italy national baseball team](/source/Italy_national_baseball_team) since 2002. He made the roster for the [World Baseball Classic](/source/World_Baseball_Classic) for the first time in [2009](/source/2009_World_Baseball_Classic). He also represented his country in the [2013 edition](/source/2013_World_Baseball_Classic).

At the [2009 World Baseball Classic](/source/2009_World_Baseball_Classic), Chiarini made a spectacular diving catch to rob [Bobby Abreu](/source/Bobby_Abreu) of an RBI. In the process of doing so, Chiarini suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction: Mario's belt split in half.

As a member of national team, he won two [European Baseball Championships](/source/European_Baseball_Championship), in [2010](/source/2010_European_Baseball_Championship)[2] and in [2012](/source/2012_European_Baseball_Championship).[3] He missed the [2016](/source/2016_European_Baseball_Championship) edition because of an injury, to which manager Mazzieri said to be "strange to coach the team without him for the first time".[4][*[non-primary source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources)*]
