College Sports Evaluation™
Baseball
Is your son a D1, D2, or D3 player? Is he ready to play college baseball?
Play. Evaluate. Develop.
Baseball with CSE
Whether your son dreams of being the next Willie Mays or simply wants a scholarship to pay for college by doing something they love, CSE can help provide clarity on what their future in baseball can look like. The path of getting from a high school diamond to a college one is not always as straightforward as a line drive. College Sports Evaluation™ is here to help.
CSE College Coach Evaluator
The person evaluating your athlete on the field has an accomplished history of coaching a winning team at the college level. Each of our CSE College Coach Evaluators have an overall winning record and at least seven years of coaching experience. We’ve found that this experience means they have an exceptional knowledge of the sport and each position within the sport. Evaluators have the vision to recognize what division level an athlete fits.
Assessing Skill Traits
Each baseball position that we evaluate is assessed based on six main skill traits. For example, in baseball, a Pitcher Only (PO) has different criteria that measures up to a successful role as a player in college athletics than a shortstop and will be assessed accordingly. Pitching velocity will be weighted very different from throwing velocity for an outfielder. Some positions have overlapping traits, some are more specific to the position.
Compare the Data
Each skill trait is assessed both objectively and subjectively. The objective data is produced by measuring specific parts of each aspect - for example, averaging the speeds of different throws to produce a throwing velocity. This speed can be compared to other college athletes and placed on a scale of ready to play for a D1 school, a JUCO team, etc. Where your athlete ranks on this scale is called the CSE Score for throwing velocity.
Specific Feedback
Subjectively, the CSE College Coach Evaluator will offer their opinions and feedback by observing your athlete’s performance in drills and in-game. They will also produce a CSE Score for each of the six skill traits based on what they see. In the athlete's CSE Report, the CSE College Coach Evaluator notes from the CSE will be included. These notes will include things done well and things that can be improved, such as, “weight shift during throw needs improvement.”
With this helpful feedback, your athlete will know exactly what to work on to improve skills, how to develop them, and how to push to the next level.
Technology
Not every sport is the same, and although there is some overlap, different technologies will be used throughout the evaluation to capture accurate data. In baseball, CSE assesses its athletes arm velocity using top of the line analytics from Rapsodo, hitting power and contact from Blast Motion, and mental toughness using the Ryzer’s Mindset TAP Test.
