 2020 Evaluations Procedures 

Evaluation Process
 
Evaluations primarily are based upon the 5 Tools that build a sound fundamental baseball player: 
  1. Hitting for Average
  2. Hitting with Power
  3. Arm Strength (including pitching accuracy)
  4. Fielding Ability
  5. Speed 
Scoring rubrics are located at bottom of page

Hitter Evaluation
Three separate evaluated stations:
T-work warmup
  • Rotate through 3 evaluated batting cages.
  • The first cage will feature x8 pitches provided by a coach underhand in “front toss” fashion. 
  • The second again featuring x8 pitches from the batting machine, and third cage x8 pitches provided overhand from a coach. Scored ranges for age group will be averaged into a 0 to 5 scale for mechanics, power, and contact for a total score of 15 points. 


Pitcher Evaluation
Two separate sessions, each session will consist of:
  • Groups of 10
  • Throw from 2 separate pitcher’s mounds at the appropriate age distance.
  • Mosquitos get 6 pitches; Peewee 7 & Bantam 8 pitches from each mound.
  • Throw to a catcher / evaluator tandem behind each plate. Each mound will be evaluated out of 5 for mechanics, velocity, and control for a total of 15 points. The velocity will be calculated by skill shark for median bell curve in each age group. 

Infielders Evaluation
A single session fielding at 2 infield positions; short stop and third base, consisting of:
  • Groups of 10 players. Half at each position
  • 4 consecutive opportunities at each position. Fielding opportunities will range the players to effectively evaluate the players ability to move to the ball. 
  • Balls will be regulated and thrown by a “fungoman” baseball machine. 
  • All throws to 1B.

Outfielders Evaluation
A single session consisting of:
  • 6 balls hit to each player.
  • Combination of all scenarios (fly balls; left, right, back, short, and grounders) 
  • The player will be evaluated for their overall mechanics while making the play, as well as their overall arm strength and accuracy while throwing to a target.

Speed Evaluation

  • 40-yard dash.
  • Only need to run once.
