If you have played or coached baseball at any level, you have no doubt experienced many days of tryouts.

Usually these tryouts bring about a lot of questions from both the coaches and players.

Coaches- What should I be looking for? How do I evaluate players at each position? ext.

Players usually just assume the coaches know what they’re doing and ask the same question over and over- What is are the coaches looking for?

Regardless if you are a coach or player, today’s interview article digs right into the core question of “How to evaluate talent at the high school and summer ball levels and beyond?”

Our expert today is longtime scout for the Tigers and now Indians, John Mirabelli. John is currently the Indians’ Senior Director of Scouting Operations and was formerly their Assistant General Manager for 9 seasons.

All that fancy language just means that he has been evaluating baseball players for a long time and we’re lucky to have him swing by NLB and share his expertise.
