Reply to "Standardized Testing in Baseball"

The standardized test would include a standard set of pitches (ex. 10 rounds of 5) with each round focusing on one thing (3 fastball rounds, 2 breaking ball rounds, etc.). Each pitch in each round would be identical (every FB @ 85mph 2200RPM for example). The batted balls would be recorded for exit velo, distance, etc. and those results would drive the rankings.

I am talking to coaches and travel coaches as well but wanted to specifically get parent insight because they would be the ones taking their sons to these testing days. It would definitely take some time to get established and get the requisite buy in from coaches, but it would greatly help small town kids that don't have the means to get to Florida for tournaments or who live in places where baseball is not big.

If you have had a son go through the recruiting process, please help me out and fill out the short survey and share your thoughts.
