Evaluations are conducted to properly evaluate the talent of players in all leagues except Rookies.  These evaluations are mandatory for every player, including coaches' sons, and every attempt should be made to have a player evaluated to ensure that teams are evenly distributed. 

Players are evaluated on a 7-point scale, 1-7, in six different categories; batting, infield defense, infield throwing, outfield defense, outfield throwing and pitching.  The 7-point scale shall follow the general guidelines:

1-2: Developing Player

3-5: Average Player

6-7: Above Average Player

Players will be evaluated by independent evaluators who do not have a player in the league and are not coaching in that respective league.   Evaluators are picked by the league commissioner(s) with approval from the SYB board.  

League coaches will also evaluate players and will keep their respective scores.

Following the evaluations, the independent evaluators’ respective scores will be collected and compiled by the league commissioners.  An average score for each respective player will be established.  These averages will be used to assist in that leagues draft order.
