We would like to thank the players and parents for hanging in there with the rain in the morning, but then it turned into a beautiful day. We also want to thank Sean Hall and the Forest Lake High School for hosting the tryout.
While we had a lot of good players, we have start by mentioning Sydney Schwartz (2022 P/3B) a solid strong athlete. She can hit for power, has a really good glove and shows potential as a pitcher. Anna Kelly (2020 3B/1B) can hit for power and drives the gap. Avery Johnson (2021 OF) is a good outfielder, with a quick release and is confident and aggressive in the box. Finally, Gabrielle Fakes (2024 P/1B) showed good command and velocity in the circle and does a good job at 1B.
There were quite a few players that are very close and we look foward to seeing them play this summer. If you were not selected, please don't be discouraged. We want to see you play again. We will be out scouting games during this summer. Please keep us updated on your tournament and game schedules; email them to info@ondecksoftball.net.

Please remember that the ODM numbers, while growing increasingly important, are only a snapshot of a player’s evaluation and potential. They are also just a portion of the Tryout selection process, for more information read Your Tryout & ODM Numbers. Use these numbers as a tool and work at developing your athleticism, but constantly work on improving and refining your softball skill set – both offensively and defensively.
These numbers have also been posted to your profile. An Allister Index is not given with Tryout ODM numbers.
Email ODM at kj@odmtesting.com if you have any questions about the ODM Numbers.
Player evaluations are available for purchase for two weeks after the Tryout ($20/player). Evaluations take about a week to be written and formatted from the date of purchase. All evaluations will be emailed to the address provided. If you are interested in a detailed tryout evaluation:
