The Scouts are Looking for Players
USA Baseball and their collegiate and national team scouts recently conferred with us about players.  Here are the questions they are asking when evaluating players:

 

GENERAL

Did this player play Varsity?

Is he a leader on the field and in the dugout?

Is he a “gamer” with a will to win?

Does he exhibit excellent composure in pressure situations?

Can he compete with 5,000 people rooting against him?

How is his general athleticism?

Is he polite and respectful? Is he coachable?

 

OFFENSIVELY

Where does he hit in your lineup?

Is he a contact hitter, gap hitter, or a power hitter?

Is he a good baserunner?

Statistics?

DEFENSIVELY

What is his best position?

What other positions can he play at a competitive level?

Arm Strength? Range?

Pop Time?

Footwork?

 

PITCHING

FB Velocity Range? (Please be honest and accurate. Nothing is more frustrating than looking for the 91mph FB on the nomination only to find the 82 mph FB on the mound)

How is his control?

How many pitches does he command?

Is he a “pitcher?”

Can he hold runners on?

Does he compete?

Does he have any experience out of the bullpen?

Statistics?
