Tryouts are player evaluations that are held prior to the player draft every Spring. Every player in the Rookie, A, AA, AAA & Major Leagues are required to attend the evaluation. Players will be evaluated on general baseball skills: Hitting, Base Running, Infield and Outfield. Additional Pitcher and Catcher evaluations will be held for the AA and above leagues. These tryouts help coaches to be able to assemble balanced, competitive teams for the league. Every player will be assigned to a team via a draft process in the weeks after the tryouts.
For Majors, players are evaluated during tryouts by the coaches. Our majors league has limited spots so not everyone who trys out for Majors is drafted to a Majors team. All possible Majors players not drafted to a Majors team have the option to be drafted to a AAA team for the spring season.

For AAA through Rookie, a player missing tryouts will be placed in the draft and their previous season information will be used to evaluate the player.
