League Tryout Dates
18, 30, and over 55 and
over Player Workout
and Draft |
See what you need to
be ready to do...and
what Managers want
to see.
Let me list what
positions need what
attributes:
Catcher- Needs to be
a very loud, aware
take charge guy; May
be even the smartest
and most
baseball-knowledgeable
player on your team.
You can't have a
slow catcher, he
must be agile and
quick. If not,
sooner or later it
will come back to
haunt you.
1st baseman- Also
can't be very slow
or it will hurt you.
He must be able to
cover some ground as
more infield errors
occur from bad
throws than missed
balls!
2nd baseman- Quick
hands and quick
feet. Doesn't have
to be very big so he
needs to be able to
make contact at the
plate especially if
he is small and
doesn't bring too
much pop with the
bat.
Shortstop- The
leader of your
infield and very
quick and hopefully,
fast. If he can't
cover the whole left
side of the infield,
than he should be a
2nd baseman. Should
be very athletic and
maybe your leadoff
or #2 hitter.
3rd baseman- Strong
arm, doesn't have to
be the quickest but
should be able to
cover the line
because your
shortstop will cover
to his left if he
can't reach it. The
older the player,
the more he is
looked at as a power
guy.
Left Fielder- Should
be able to charge in
very well because he
needs to play deeper
than most of your
outfielders due to
so many right-handed
pull hitters.
Doesn't need the
best arm but
couldn't hurt.
Center Fielder- Good
to great arm, should
be one of the best
and quickest
athletes on your
team. If he can't
cover much ground,
don't pick him or
put him in left or
right if he has a
superior arm. He
gives the corner
outfielders
confidence.
Remember. the game
is won "Up the
Middle"!
Right Fielder- Big
arm, needs to make
the longest throws
on the field. Again,
the older the
player, the more he
is expected to hit
for power. Doesn't
need great speed,
covers limited
amount of ground.
Our Tryouts Consist
Of:
Outfielders - Any
player who thinks he
might be an
outfielder goes to
right field. We hit
them fly balls and
they throw to 3rd
base and then home.
We measure velocity.
We look for ability
to judge fly balls,
arm strength and
accuracy.
Infielders - Any
player who thinks
they are a 3B, SS or
2B goes to the
shortstop position.
We hit them a series
of ground balls (at
them, right, left
and slow rollers)
and they throw to
first base. Again we
measure velocity. We
look for ability to
field ground balls,
athleticism, arm
strength and
accuracy.
First Basemen - We
do the same for
these guys except
they are stationed
at first base and
throw to third base
Catchers - We put
them behind the
plate and get a
glove to glove
stopwatch time on
throws to second
base. We look for
timing and accuracy.
We put them behind
the plate during the
hitting tryouts and
pitching tryouts to
judge their ability
to receive pitches.
Pitchers - We are
simply looking for
arm motion,
especially players
who don't "shortarm"
the ball. Obviously
accuracy and
velocity are a
factor.
Hitters - We watch
swing mechanics. We
don't care if they
touch the ball or
not. Do your swing
mechanics show that
you have the ability
to be a potential
hitter show you can
hit to onsite field
hit deep fly balls
and when hitting hit
the ball hard
