The PG Series Challenge is a one-day athletic testing event designed to measure, record, and track a baseball player's most important attributes. Using strictly objective testing. The Challenge will be a valuable tool in determining an athlete’s raw talent production and potential projection on the field. In today's age of advanced technology, MLB teams and college coaches are relying more and more on measurable data to breakdown a player - whether it's for recruiting a high school prospect, selecting a draft pick, or simply tracking a big leaguer's every day production. Perfect Game's mission with The Challenge is to help players understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to improve on the field. The Series Challenge event is NOT a showcase.
All Results from the skills testing are posted on the player’s PG Profile along with the PGAME Score.
PGAME is our proprietary scoring metric that takes into account all of the player’s results from The Challenge and displays their performance in a single score. The PGAME score can be compared to other players at the event and across the country, with the main goal being improvement on the PGAME score with proper training. PGAME scores reflect each player’s overall athletic ability.
The tests consist of a 30-yard dash, 5-10-5 Shuttle Run, Pro Agility Test, Witty Reaction Test, Left Hand Grip Strength, Right Hand Grip Strength, Broad Jump, and the Witty Laser System 4 Corner Complex Reaction Drill.
