WHAT IS SKILL EVALUATION: Skills Evaluation results are used by Issaquah Little League to help the Managers draft balanced teams at the AAA, Coast and Majors level. Skills Evaluation results are also used to determine any pending Petition to Play Up or Down, based on our Petition Policy. Around 300 players will be evaluated at 5 different skills stations by 16 Evaluators including: Pitching, Hitting, Infield, Outfield and Speed. Each player will receive a total of 22 scores which are weighted to create an overall composite score for the player. These scores are used to rank players and prepare draft information to help the Managers draft balanced teams. The scores are kept completely confidential and players will not be told their scores or final results.
Players should do their best at each station to allow a fair evaluation heading into the draft.
Please direct any questions about the Skills Evaluation to the Player Agent.
