Baseball combines help you get important, verified measurements like your height, weight, speed and batting power that college coaches look for in recruits. Combines measure height, weight, arm span, raw arm velocity, catcher pop times, pitching velocity, broad jump, 60-yard dash, and batted ball velocity.

Combines allow you to measure your talent against the national leaderboard, as well as the event-specific leaderboard. Understanding where you rank against your peers can help you build a realistic list of target schools.
While combines serve their purpose in the recruiting process, they likely won’t help you gain exposure. Coaches generally don’t attend these events because they don’t include gameplay to evaluate. Instead, college coaches skip combines and put their recruiting budget towards attending showcases.
Expect to pay anywhere from free to $200 per event to attend a combine. When searching for upcoming combines, you can find them locally and regionally. If you’re unsure whether to attend a combine, consult with your high school or club coach to figure out the best recruiting event to spend your money on.

During the event, players are selected to participate in a tournament featuring eight games, as well as PDP Performance Assessments and a pro-style showcase workout.
Combines offer you the opportunity to collect verified stats, but these events don’t offer exposure to college coaches. Always remember to upload your new stats to your NCSA Recruiting Profile after participating in a combine. Don’t have one?
