What Are The Benefits of a Sports Evaluation App?
1. Efficient athletic evaluation
SkillShark allows you to create customized evaluation forms, track individual player performance, and compile data in a centralized location. This saves time and ensures a well-organized evaluation process. Additionally, a sports evaluation app enables you to assess baseball players objectively, focusing on their skills, strengths, and areas for improvement.
2. Objective assessment
SkillShark helps conduct unbiased evaluations. You can add third-party evaluators, admins, and even guests to score players during evaluations. SkillShark’s evaluation forms provide structured criteria and rating scales, guiding evaluators to focus on the objective aspects of player performance.
Unbiased evaluations ensure all athletes are evaluated fairly and objectively. Using this data, you can make well-informed decisions regarding player placement, team selection, and training programs.
3. Player performance tracking
Using an evaluation app enables you to record and track individual player performance over time. This valuable feature allows you to monitor player development, identify emerging trends, and make well-informed decisions regarding player placement.
4. Data analysis
SkillShark offers powerful analytical tools that allow you to analyze your player evaluation data. You can generate reports, charts, and graphs to gain insights into player performance, compare different players or teams, and identify patterns or areas of improvement for your baseball players.
5. Player development
You can provide valuable feedback to players and parents by conducting camps and tryouts using a sports evaluation app. The app allows you to share evaluation results and performance summaries, facilitating constructive discussions and personalized training plans to help players enhance their skills and reach their full potential.
6. Streamlined communication
SkillShark promotes effective communication among players and parents involved in baseball evaluations. With the ability to send player report cards, everyone stays informed and aligned regarding player development.
7. Increased engagement
SkillShark’s interactive features, such as real-time leaderboards and performance summaries, can increase player engagement and motivation.

We’ve evaluated approximately 1200 players this season. It was super simple and convenient. Data entry usually took us eight hours a day, for fifteen consecutive days. With the volume of athletes that we need to process in one event, SkillShark has probably saved me about 120 hours overall.

As baseball athletes are in the early stages of their development, conducting assessments and providing detailed feedback to each athlete will help them flourish throughout these pivotal years.
However, by assessing players and sending detail reports on one app, athlete evaluation software is the best format to provide clear, concise, and timely feedback.
Coaches can score athletes from their mobile devices and then instantly run individual reports, emailing them directly to athletes.
Rather than including numbered scores for every skill that was evaluated during a baseball tryout, include comments instead. I.e., When evaluating a player on hitting, comments could include, “Pay attention to your weight transfer, balance, and bat speed when hitting.”
With multiple evaluations comes the need to look at how your players are progressing. By creating a standardized evaluation template to use at each assessment, coaches & evaluators can score players on the same skills. Then, when a player development report is run, on baseball software like SkillShark, you can look at whether your players are improving on a specific skill or if they need further improvement.
For instance, if you notice several of your players have a declining score within the category of “hitting,” you can work with your players on baseball hitting drills at your practice sessions.
