20-Yard Dash:Not even pros can rely on homeruns to let them take their sweet time rounding the bases. In fastpitch, you need to hustle.Home through first; first to second. The 20-Yard Dash measures both your acceleration from a standing start and your ability to transition to top speed, all in 3 to 4 seconds. And that's just for a single. A good 20-Yard Dash means you're an athlete who can round the bases. And rounding bases wins points. In addition to your speed on the basepath, a good 20-Yard Dash time also indicates your ability to sprint to the play in the outfield. Making plays and gaining possession is great defense in a game where position, acceleration, and speed will often dictate the outcome of decisive game situations. Vertical Jump:Why test a jump? A high score in the Vertical Jump reveals an athlete's lower-body peak power, and is a reliable indicator of whether you can move your body quicker off the line. This translates to how quickly you can explode off your lead for a steal, and how fast you can slide.Knowing your abilities in the Vertical Jump will help you and your coach make decisions in the clutch. And it doesn't hurt to be able to launch your glove an extra few feet overhead to snag a pop fly. Agility Shuttle:Change of direction speed. You're taking a lead and then "Strike that, reverse it!" In fastpitch, your direction can turn on a dime. The Agility Shuttle reveals your ability to change direction while maintaining control of your body.In a flash, what was a power hit is now a foul, and you have to react quickly to tag up safe. Or picture a runner caught in monkey-in-the-middle between bases; the runner has to slow down, turn around, and maintain control if she's going to make the base and outmaneuver her opponent. This deceleration, change of posture, reorientation, and acceleration again is exactly what the Agility Shuttle measures. With a good Shuttle time you're better equipped to succeed in reacting and executing the lightning-quick demands of the fastpitch ballgame. Rotational Power Ball Throw:Power is generated from the core. The stronger your core, the more potential you have generating power – in throwing or in batting.You're at bat. Your primary goals are power and direction -- you have to generate as much power as possible, and rotate your body to transfer that power through your core and arms, through the bat and into the ball. The Rotational Power Ball Throw measures rotational power and core strength - the same attributes relied upon in throwing and batting mechanics in fastpitch. It's also a reflection of total body power. Find an athlete with a high Rotational Power Ball Throw score and you've found an athlete with incredible batting and throwing potential. |
