TOP TOOLS
 
Please Note:  Many players are selected for our Under Armour National Tournament and Training Camps that do not appear on the Top Tools list.  The Tournament and Training Camp selections take into consideration the player’s entire performance and how the scouts feel they will perform in a National
setting.  There are a number of instances where our strongest overall baseball players do not appear on the Top Tool lists.  A player might have 3 or 4 good tools, but none that are outstanding so his name does not appear in this section, however he might be selected for one of our National Tournaments because of his overall skill level.

The Top Tools were selected by Jim Gemler (Director of On-Field Sessions / Scouting).
