3 | Boys' | Baseball | There are two tryouts for baseball. Tryouts for baseball is a 2 week process which occurs two weeks prior to Thanksgiving break and the other is in the first ten days of school for baseball "onlys". The first is during the first ten days of school and with baseball "onlys" or the students in the baseball class period for the fall semester. After our tryout evaluations, we will cut and have those students change their schedule going forward with the semester. They will only be able to tryout the following school year. During these two weeks with both tryouts, players from 9th grade to 12th grade will be evaluated by the baseball staff. After the ten days, Coach Yoder will post the team on the Friday before Thanksgiving. They will begin with seniors down to freshman by alphabetical order. Baseball onlys will have to go through both tryouts. If they did not make team, they will change schedule for 2nd semester. They will have two weeks to study for fall exams. | The evaluation process includes: Hitting (2 categories)-consistency with swing, bat exit speed, fundamentals, balance-we video each player and watch their swings and talk to each one. Does cage work transfer to the field? We use a multiple ways of obtaining quantative data to help us make the most informed decisions. Categories include: Speed-Home to first, 40 yd. dash, 60 yd. dash, agility drill. Throwing-Velocity by position, accuracy, pop time by position, mechanics. Fielding (2 categories)-Balance, range, fundamentals, footwork, mechanics. Intangibles-where does he fit in program by position, lefty/righty switch, does he know the game and where to be, versatile player? We watch this as a staff through different drills and scrimmages. Each category is based out of 0-5 scale and there are a total of 7 categories.
