The best player evaluation tools for youth baseball in 2026 are Rizzler (best for multi-evaluator events and draft-day scoring), iScore (best for detailed single-game grading), and Google Forms with spreadsheets (best free DIY option). Here's how they compare for tryouts, LL evaluation days, and ongoing player development tracking.

Rizzler's evaluation events feature is designed specifically for Little League evaluation days and travel club tryouts where multiple coaches score players simultaneously. Each evaluator uses their phone, scores are averaged automatically, and results feed directly into your draft board or roster decisions.

What makes it stand out: Rizzler connects evaluations to the rest of your coaching workflow. Evaluation scores feed into player profiles, inform AI batting order recommendations, and give you season-long development data. It's not just an evaluation tool — it's an evaluation system connected to your game planning.

Best for: LL evaluation days (5-8 evaluators scoring 60+ kids), travel club tryouts, and midseason player reviews.

Pricing: Player evaluations on the Pro plan ($14.99/mo). Evaluation events on the League & Club plan ($799/yr).

iScore's advanced scoring gives coaches the ability to grade individual plays during live games. After the game, you can review player performance with granular detail — every at-bat, every defensive play, every baserunning decision.

Best for: Coaches who want play-by-play evaluation data from actual games rather than structured evaluation events.

Pricing: Free basic version, paid tiers for advanced features.

Plenty of leagues still run evaluations with Google Forms and a shared spreadsheet. Create a form with your scoring categories, hand each evaluator a phone, collect the results, and average them in Google Sheets.

Best for: Leagues on zero budget that don't mind 2-3 hours of post-evaluation data cleanup.

Limitations: No automatic averaging, no connection to roster or game planning, no historical tracking across seasons.

GameChanger doesn't have a dedicated evaluation or tryout feature. You can review game stats to assess player performance, but there's no structured evaluation workflow for draft days or tryouts.

Still used by thousands of leagues. Print evaluation sheets, hand them to coaches, collect them afterward, enter scores manually. It works, but it's slow and error-prone — especially with 8 evaluators and 70 kids.
