Frequently Asked Questions

What should a baseball tryout evaluation form include?
A good evaluation form includes player info fields, skill ratings on a 1-5 scale for hitting, fielding, baserunning, pitching, and intangibles like attitude and coachability. Our forms include a scoring rubric so all evaluators rate consistently.
What is the difference between the youth and high school evaluation forms?
The youth form (ages 8-12) focuses on fundamental skills: throwing mechanics, catching consistency, bat contact, and baserunning awareness. The high school form (ages 14-18) adds advanced metrics like velocity, command, plate discipline, and game IQ.
How many evaluators should use the form at tryouts?
At least two independent evaluators per station. This reduces bias and gives a more complete picture. After tryouts, compare scores and discuss players where evaluators diverged significantly.
Can I use these forms for mid-season evaluations?
Yes. The same form works for tryouts, pre-season assessments, and mid-season check-ins. Comparing scores across time points shows player development and helps identify areas that need focused coaching.
