The GOLDEN STATE GRIND HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL ATHLETE COMBINE – How to Better Test Athletes for Baseball Playing Ability.

Learn more below about why our High School Baseball Athlete Testing is crucial to an athlete’s development.

No athletic performance test or series of tests will ever be able to accurately predict baseball knowledge and performance due to the strong emphasis that the game places on skill. You don’t need to have blazing speed if you can “hit ‘em where they ain’t”. Today’s high-level baseball players demonstrate a blend of physical abilities (Speed, Strength, Agility) coupled with baseball specific skills (throwing accuracy, hitting, fielding, catching). Some players rely more on skill while others may lean on their abilities. The really good ones have a lot of both.

We have designed tools that you can use to better evaluate baseball players in regards to their physical tools. The information that you get from these tests will give you a ton of information about a player’s athletic abilities which you can combine with your own assessment of baseball skill in order to project that player’s overall potential.

How does your game stack up against others?

Knowing how your athletic movements help or hurt your baseball skill development can mean the difference between being good or being great. The GOLDEN STATE GRIND has spent years testing and recording thousands of player’s athletic and baseball skills. We have used those results to help build a college baseball recruiting resume and get players offers. Our goal is to become the #1 Baseball Evaluation organization in the industry.

Why is it important for an athlete to be evaluated?

All parents want the best for their children. Families are hurrying from travel ball to competitive showcases at high levels. Players are receiving incredible opportunities to showcase their skills, but lack the necessary development of a well-rounded game. The problem becomes there is not enough time for self-evaluation. Most coaches only have so much time to provide necessary adjustments and tweaks to an athlete’s game to help them improve in those crucial areas. This is where we separate from our competitors. We value practice and training as much as competition to achieve the ultimate goal of achieving success. Practice and training are the tests and games are the exams. We work on specific skills and knowledge that benefit and increase a players testing measurables. We believe that through a strong work ethic, determination and perseverance anything can be achieved.

Our BLUE COLLAR BLUEPRINT provides training, specific testing, highlighting key factors, athletically and mechanically to one day become the best player they can be. Having this information, an athlete understands exactly where their skill set is and can focus on becoming more balanced, working on key areas of their game. The athlete then can work on maintaining their strengths while improving their weaknesses. At our GOLDEN STATE GRIND HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL ATHLETE COMBINE we measure your skills and metrics then validate the results for college baseball recruiters and your self evaluation.
