2022 Canada Summer Games Team Selection Process;
The team roster will attempt to include the following:
-at least four players that can play the outfield, and two must be able to play centre field at the national level
-three players that can catch at the national level
-three middle infielders, two of which must be able to play shortstop at the national level
-three corner infielders, two of which must be able to play third at the national level
-roster should include some balance between left-handed and right-handed hitters
-pitching staff will include at least one left-handed pitcher
General Points:
*We like our players to be good teammates.
*We like our pitchers to be strike-throwers. Command of more than one pitch is an asset. Velocity is important, but not the only criterion used in evaluation.
*We like our teams to hustle on-and-off the field.
*We like our offence to be one that can win the slugfest, or the tight one-run games. In stating this, we like some speed at the top and bottom of the lineup, with power in the middle. We also like a combination or two that we “hit and run” with.
*We like a good two-strike approach from our hitters. Nothing hurts a team’s "offense" more than a strikeout, especially a called third strike.
*Helmet tosses or use of profanity, do not win you any points regarding selection to Team Alberta.
*Versatility to play more than one position, at the national level, is an asset.
