Tryout evaluation for baseball and softball

Every cut,
on the record.

Your whole staff scores against one rubric. Every coach's numbers roll into one ranked board. When a parent asks why, you have the evaluation in hand.

The problem

Ten coaches. Ten clipboards. Ten different sevens.

Tryouts move fast and every evaluator carries a private scale. One coach's seven is another coach's five, and by Sunday night the notes are spread across clipboards, phones, and a group text.

Then the calls go out, a parent asks why, and the answer is a feeling the staff had.

DiamondAudit replaces that with one standard every coach scores against and one board that adds it all up, so the answer is the evaluation itself.

One standard

A seven means the same thing to every coach.

Each score maps to a level of play, and the scale sits on screen while your staff evaluates. Calibration happens before the first swing, not in an argument afterward.

Evaluate

Built for the field, not the front office.

Big controls, steady sliders, and nothing to set up on game day. Coaches score from wherever they are standing.

Players come up in jersey order within each age group
Jump to any athlete by name or number in a second
A built-in stopwatch drops times straight into timed drills
Catching only shows up for catchers

The evaluation screen with skill sliders, the scoring scale, and Offer, Bubble, or Pass grade buttons

Combine

Every coach's view, one honest number.

Coaches score independently. DiamondAudit averages each skill across the staff, then ranks the field, so a player reads the same everywhere you look.

Rank overall or by skill, filtered to one age group
Exit velocity, run times, and pop times beside the scores
Big gaps between coaches stand out before decisions do

Why we built it

In 2025 I ran a 118-player tryout on pen and paper, and it was a disaster. I needed something fast, something I could get coaches onto in a few clicks, and something that kept every evaluator on the same scale. So I built it. In 2026 we ran our tryout on DiamondAudit and grew to 186 players, every one of them organized and fully evaluated. When a coach can grade several tools on a player right in the moment, they actually do it. Our evaluators did better work because of it.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do coaches need to install anything?

No. DiamondAudit runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Coaches sign in with the email you invite.

Can we use our own skills and drills?

Yes. Start from the default template or change it: rename categories, add drills and measurables, and set the order they appear in.

What do families see?

Only what you choose to send. Report cards show an athlete's own scores and where they stand in their age group, never another child's numbers, and coach notes stay internal.

Who can see our data?

Only the coaches and admins in your program. Each program is walled off at the database level, and player information is never shared with analytics or advertising services.

Why is it invite-only?

We onboard programs one at a time so every tryout goes well. Request access, tell us about your program and your tryout dates, and we'll get you set up.
