A comprehensive sport skill spanning pitching, hitting, fielding, and baserunning fundamentals through game management, tactical decision-making, coaching, and contributions that advance the sport.
Baseball is a team sport centered on the pitcher-batter matchup, combining fielding, baserunning, and tactics. Growth progresses from playing catch and batting tee practice through situational judgment, position-specific expertise, competitive league experience, player development and coaching, to redefining how baseball is played and taught. The seven levels are designed around the USA Baseball LTAD player development pathway and the MLB Farm System's competitive tier structure.
You're just getting started with baseball. You can grip a ball correctly and play catch at short distances, and you can make contact with a stationary ball on a batting tee. You understand basic rules like three outs per half-inning, the strike zone, and foul balls, but live game situations often feel overwhelming. You rely on a coach or experienced teammate for guidance.
What Comes Next
If you've achieved most items in this checklist, you're ready to enter the Learn to Train stage, where you'll work on fielding ground balls and fly balls, hitting live pitching, and developing baserunning judgment.
