Top 6 questions about softball combines 

  • What is a combine in softball?
  • Why should you attend softball combines? 
  • Do college coaches attend softball combines? 
  • How much do softball combines cost? 
  • What should you do after a softball combine?
  • How do you prepare for a softball combine?

What is a combine in softball? 

Softball combines are designed to help athletes collect verified measurements. These metrics help college coaches evaluate recruits. During a combine, athletes will collect basic measurements, including: height, weight, arm span, raw arm velocity, catcher pop times, pitching velocity, broad jump, 40-yard dash, and batted ball exit velocity.

Insider Tip: Add your verified numbers to your NCSA Recruiting Profile so college coaches can easily see your updated performance metrics and measurements! 

Why should you attend softball combines? 

Attending a softball combine gives you the chance to gather verified data that can significantly boost your recruiting profile. With the opportunity to compare your results against national and combine-specific leaderboards, you’ll better understand how you measure up to your peers and where you fit within college programs.

Some of the top softball combines include:

  • Perfect Game
  • CBS Softball 
  • Ryzer 

Do college coaches attend softball combines? 

College coaches typically don’t attend combines because they don’t include gameplay. But just because coaches aren’t there doesn’t mean softball combines aren’t important in recruiting.

The stats you collect are often the first thing coaches look at when reviewing recruits. By keeping your profile updated with your latest numbers, you’ll increase your chances of standing out when coaches are searching for players.

How much do softball combines cost? 

Softball combines can cost anywhere from free to $200 per event to attend a combine. Athletes can find local and regional events to attend.

What should you do after a softball combine? 

After a softball combine, athletes should take these 3 important steps: 

  1. Collect your verified numbers 
  2. Update your NCSA recruiting profile with your new combine numbers and measurements 
  3. Reach out to college coaches at programs you’re interested in to share your updated measurements. Don’t forget to include your skills video.

How do you prepare for a softball combine?

The best way to prepare for a softball combine is by building your confidence, staying mentally focused and taking care of your body. Make sure you’re eating healthy, staying hydrated and getting enough rest in the days leading up to the combine.

Did you know you can get help with all of this through IMG Academy+ online coaching? It’s a great way to get support with mental performance and nutrition prep, so you’re ready to perform your best and stand out at your next event!

Softball combines play a key role in softball recruiting

Combines help you collect important, verified stats that can make a difference in your softball recruiting journey. While coaches may not be there, having these numbers in your recruiting profile increases your visibility and chances of getting noticed.
