Players will be given number ratings on speed, arm strength, defensive ability, and hitting ability based on the average player at each given class level. Players are also evaluated on intangible concepts like coachability, work ethic and overall attitude. How players act as well as how they play is important to the program’s success. Team levels will possibly be fluid for some players throughout the season based on level of improvement as well as opportunity. Questions can be directed to Coach Bishop who will be the primary decision maker relative to levels/cuts.
The above schedule may be adjusted due to weather, in other words, if we have a dry day forecasted for one day rather than another the offensive evaluations would be adjusted accordingly. The timing of the workouts will not change. All workouts will begin on time but ending times are in general assuming we get the necessary work done.
