The Testing Day process for players will consist of four stations: warmups, primary position work, tee work, and an optional 30-yard sprint. During each station, Task Force members will record various measurable, including throwing velocity, max barrel speed, and exit velocity, among others. Groups of players will rotate between the stations in 20-minute intervals. Players should be able to complete all Testing Day stations in between 60-90 minutes.

Participation in Testing Day, while recommended, is optional for all players attending the National Team Championships Arizona.
