Benchmarks for Player's Tools

Sling, go to www.perfectgame.org and then scan their older events for the player profiles. A picture will begin to emerge.

I have a few guidelines that may be useful to you. One organization that shall go unnamed uses the following rough guidelines for a middle infielder

60 yard minimum 6.8
home to first right hand hitter 4.2, left hand hitter 4.0

I am not certain about velocity throwing from SS to first, my guess would be 83 mph minimum

hope this helps a bit

Thanks very much for the responses.

6.9 has always been the traditional bench mark; but 6.8 is fine. 83 mph is a good toss for middle infielders. I would say that 80 mph is fine with the exception of SS (85).

What position do you play? --this will determine a lot of things for you especially foot speed and arm strength

There are many. many players at the D-I level who do not break 7.0 in the 60 especially 3B, 1B and catchers

If you watched the CWS this past June you saw a great number of pitchers throwing in the low to mid 80's---the 90 MPH guys where in the pen and were good for one maybe two innings.

My Advice to you: don't get hung up on numbers---play your game --you can't be something you aren't--never forget that--play hard and play smart and you will be fine not to mention that Division I baseball is not the end all be all for a college prospect.

I have had two sons and a stepson play college ball--one was D-I , another was D-III--- the stepson was D-III and then went D-I

Good Luck

All the numbers put on this thread are solid. One thing that some coaches look at sometimes....the slower the runner is, the better he needs to hit. Coaches tend to be more forgiving for guys that can run. Just thought I'd throw that out there!
