Program Evaluations – Data-Driven Athlete Development

 At DSA Baseball, we believe that performance should be measurable, trackable, and transparent. That’s why we’ve integrated Major League-level analytics into our program evaluations. Using industry-leading technology such as the Vald Performance Power Plate and other advanced tools, we capture detailed data on every athlete’s physical performance. These insights allow our coaches to build individualized training programs and help players see their measurable progress over time. 

Our evaluations go far beyond traditional coaching assessments. Each player undergoes a comprehensive testing protocol that includes:

• Vertical Leap – Measures lower-body explosiveness and overall athletic potential.
   
• Power Jump – Tracks repeatable force production and energy output.
   
• Grip Strength – Assesses forearm and hand strength, crucial for hitting and throwing performance.
   
• Acceleration & Sprint Speed – Captures quickness and top speed metrics over short distances.
   
• Agility Testing – Evaluates reaction time and ability to change direction efficiently.
   
• Balance & Stability – Monitored through PowerPlate technology to reduce injury risk and improve movement efficiency.
   
• Rotational Power – Assesses core strength and bat/throw velocity potential.

• Individualized Development: Every player receives a personalized performance profile.
   
• Objective Benchmarks: Track growth over weeks, months, and seasons.
   
• Injury Prevention: Identify imbalances or weaknesses before they become issues.
   
• Recruiting Advantage: College and pro scouts value data-backed evaluations alongside on-field performance.

Each athlete receives a digital report that highlights their test results compared to benchmarks at their age/competition level. Our coaches use this information to tailor training plans and help athletes focus on the specific areas that will make the biggest impact on their game.
