What are tryouts and who has to tryout?
A – Tryouts are where the coaches and managers of each team get to see the playing ability of players. Many rate the players and use this information later to help make draft (see below) choices. All players league age 9 to 12 tryout for teams. Some will be selected to Major League teams and some to Minor. 7 and 8 year old players do not tryout. They are placed at random on Farm League teams.
