Mario Chiarini (born 7 January 1981) is an Italian baseball player who competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics.[1] Chiarini played for the Arizona League Mariners in 2000, then he continued his career in Rimini Baseball, team of his hometown. With Rimini he won 3 Italian championships, and 2 national cups.

At the 2009 World Baseball Classic, Chiarini made a spectacular diving catch to rob 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 Italy national baseball team he won two European Baseball Championships, in 2010[2] and in 2012.[3] He is actually the captain of the team.
