*This is subject to change.
How is playing time determined?
Each player will be guaranteed at least one full game at their primary position over the course of the event. However, this does not mean all innings at the primary position will be played during the same game.
How much can I expect my player to pitch?
Innings will be spread evenly among all pitchers on the roster, with the coach reserving the right to adjust pitching limits based on performance.
What is the Player Evaluation?
Every player will be evaluated throughout the event in three different forms by their coaches: during team practices, evaluation drills, and gameplay.
How is the batting order created?
Your coach will implement a rolling batting order to ensure that all players receive an equal number of at-bats.
ADD-ON OPPORTUNITY: Each All-Ripken location features a Player Card Combine conducted by Baseball Factory a day before the event. Players participate in different skill evaluation stations to determine their stats for their official All-Ripken Player Card while gaining valuable instruction by Baseball Factory Staff.
The Player Card Combine is a great way to determine where your player stands in comparison to other players from around the country in your players age division. A scaled rating system based on the specific age division of the player is used to determine the scores.
All players cards (in a digital format) are released after all the summer events are completed. Once released, you will also have the opportunity to order a set of Baseball Cards of your Player Card for a family keepsake.
The Player Card Combine is additional Add-On Opportunity that costs $125 per player.
