So here's my conundrum:
We are doing evals for my 12U and 14U divisions this season. First round of the draft will be any girl who shows even a little talent at pitching. 2nd round will be catchers - I hope. What I need is some way to evaluate something catcher-ish without requiring a girl to gear up.
My first thought was very simple: have them get into a receiving stance, soft-toss a ball and have them pop and throw down to 2B.
Beyond judging whether they're comfortable doing that, what else can I do?
