The goal of Round 2 is to allow the evaluators to see each player and rate them on their skills and baseball IQ. To do this, players are put through a combination of individual skill stations along with scrimmage situations.

The scrimmage situations allow the evaluators to see their skills as they present in game situations along with baseball IQ.

The format is as follows:

Infield 

• Each player will receive 3-4 ground balls hit to them at SS which they will field and throw to 1st. The hits will be at them, to their left, and to their right. 
• Players will be evaluated based on abilities, including: 
  • Footwork and hands 
  • Proper throwing technique/body control 
  • Quickness/Lateral movements 
  • Arm strength

Outfield 

• Each player will receive 3-4 balls hit to them in right field which they will then throw to 3rd base hitting a cutoff man. The hits they receive will be a combination of fly balls and line drives/ground balls.
