Baseball Standings:

What to Expect at the 2018 Evaluations

Posted by Paul Skuta at Dec 29, 2017 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )
Player evaluations for divisions Single A through Majors are scheduled for Jan. 20 and 21 with make-up days Jan 27 and 28. Please arrive at least 1/2 hour before your age group's scheduled time to allow for check in and warm ups. We go from oldest to youngest. The schedule will be posted to this website soon. Players should be in baseball attire including a hat (ok if you don't have baseball clothing, athletic type clothing that is appropriate for the weather will do) and bring their glove, bat and batting helmet. If you don't have a bat and batting helmet the league has some loaner equipment. During evaluations, players will 1) field fly balls, 2) field infield hits at short-stop and throw to 1st, 3) hit and 4) run the bases. The best way to prepare your child is to work with them on their catching, throwing and hitting skills.
