Spring Baseball Evaluations 2.17!
Player evaluation details below! Participation is mandatory. If you cannot attend this session, we have a make-up session on 2/20 at Cedar Hills Park. Please let us know ASAP if your player will attend the make-up session or if you will not be able to attend either session.
Location: Mountainside High School Baseball Field
Time: Saturday, 2/17, Time has been assigned via email.
MAKE-UP Location: Cedar Hills Park Baseball Field
Time: Tuesday, 2/20, 7:30-9:30 PM
Check in: Please arrive 30 minutes early, but no more than 45 minutes prior to the designated time slot.
- Parents and players are to arrive at the designated drop off and proceed to the Registration table for check in.
- We will be taking UNIFORM & CAP sizing, with samples of all available sizes on hand for try-on.
- Parents will not be allowed to be on the field during tryouts, but will be allowed to stay outside the field (even along the field fence) for viewing.
- Once checked in, a Mountainside JBO representative will guide the players to an area of the field to begin stretching and warm-ups.
** Please be on time, as we will need adequate time to get them registered, try on this year's uniform samples for sizing and allow for proper warm-up prior to the start of evals.
What to Bring: Baseball glove, baseball bat, batting helmet and cleats, turf baseball shoes (no metal spikes allowed on the Mountainside turf!)-- remember, it is your job to come prepared!
What to Wear: Neutral clothing is required. Long sleeve shirt. Players cannot wear clothing that identifies them by name, number, or previous team. Be prepared for inclement, cold and rainy weather and dress appropriately.
KEY TOPICS:
- Players need to come prepared for inclement weather-- by bringing sweatshirts, jackets, and to dress appropriately-- as the forecast calls for a chance of rain and/or cold temperatures.
- Parents and family members will not be allowed access to the turf baseball field- only Mountainside JBO representatives, Mountainside High School coaches and players who are assisting with evals, and youth players asked to assist.
- After evaluations are completed, player pickup will be in the parking lot area of Mountainside High School, near the athletic fields.
- Participation is mandatory to be considered for the Federal and American teams. No exceptions except extraordinary ones. For a player who evaluated at the Senior level prior and made a team, we may go off that previous evaluation.
Skills Evaluated:
- Infield Fielding- using solid mechanics to field ground balls and then make accurate, strong throws to a specified base
- Outfield Fielding- using good fundamentals and athleticism to pursue and catch fly balls, then making quality throws back into the infield to a specified base;
- Hitting- (USSSA Bat) using solid hitting mechanics to consistently make contact with pitched balls; show power in the swing and hits
- Baseball Speed- each player will run 2 reps of 90' dash, the same as baseball at the Senior level and beyond. This will show how successful they may be at this level, both in terms of successfully being safe on hits, as well as stealing bases.
- Given sufficient time, we may evaluate other key baseball skills, including pitching, catching, etc.
These evaluations will determine what level our Senior players will play at for the 2023 Spring season. More Info about JBO skill levels here.
Remember, evaluations are to take place, RAIN or SHINE. Best of luck and Mav Up!

About Mountainside JBO
Mountainside Junior Baseball Organization (JBO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 2017 to compete as an affiliate in Oregon's Westside JBO district, while offering a youth baseball playing alternative in the Mountainside High School district.
The Mountainside JBO program is directly aligned with Mountainside High School and works closely with Ryan Fobert, the Mountainside High School Head Varsity baseball coach, and his coaching staff. This strategic alignment aims in helping to provide the area's youth with the development, skills and competition needed to not only flourish as youth players, but also provide a segue to high school baseball.
The goal of Mountainside JBO is to build a league of players who reside in the Mountainside High School boundaries and allow them to compete against other players of equal age and skill, while ultimately achieving their full baseball potential. And because of its connection to the the high school program, Mountainside JBO is in a unique position to prepare your child to play High School Baseball at Mountainside.
Sponsors
We're very grateful for all of our league sponsors! It takes a village to raise a youth baseball league and they are a big part of our village.
