2027 Season · 8U–14U · Travel Ball
The youth baseball combine where every number counts. Radar guns. Exit velo. Laser timing. One score that tells you exactly where you stack up, and a shot at the THR World Series.
Who's got the strongest arm in Picayune?
The hardest bat in Hattiesburg?
The fastest wheels in the state?
There's only one way to find out.
01 / The Events
Five throws, five swings, three sprints. We keep your best. Every number is measured with real equipment and posted the same day.
Pitch Velocity
Flat ground, your style. Crow-hop, run-and-gun, whatever gets it there fastest. A radar gun clocks the ball out of your hand in miles per hour.
Exit Velocity
Square it up. We measure how fast the ball comes off your bat. Off a tee, so everybody gets the same pitch.
40-Yard Dash
The speed test everybody knows. Laser timing gates start the clock when you move and stop it when you cross.
Add-on testing that doesn't change your THR Score but goes on your player card, breaks ties, and shows you exactly what to work on.
The best single test of total-body power. Official tiebreaker. Easy to improve: just jump more.
Strong hands make the bat lighter and the ball faster at release. Measured with a hand dynamometer.
How fast you break on a signal. Sensor-timed first step, the same skill as getting a jump on a steal.
Captured during your 40. Shows your first-step burst, the speed that beats out ground balls.
How close your attempts are to each other. Big-game players repeat.
High-speed slow-mo of your throw, swing, and sprint, with notes from a coach.
02 / The THR Score
One kid throws gas. Another one rakes. Another one flies. The THR Score puts all three on the same scale so everybody competes for one ranking, fairly, inside your own age group.
Each age division has a Floor (0 points) and an Elite mark (1,000 points). Where your number lands between them is your points. A 10U arm isn't compared to a 14U arm.
Arm and bat carry a little more weight than speed because they show up on every play.
0.35 × Throw + 0.35 × Hit + 0.30 × Run
Ties go to the higher vertical jump, then the best single event.
03 / Leaderboard
Every result posts the same day. Filter by division and city, or sort by a single event to see who owns the arm, the bat, or the wheels.

07 / FAQ
Players ages 8 to 14. Your division is based on your age on May 1 of the season, the same cutoff most travel ball organizations use. You don't need to be on a travel team to compete individually.
You only compete against your own age division. Each division has its own Floor and Elite marks, so a great 9U throw scores just as many points as a great 14U throw.
No. Everybody throws from flat ground, and you can throw however you want: crow-hop, step-and-throw, anything. A radar gun clocks the ball out of your hand in miles per hour. You get five throws and we keep your fastest.
Yes. Any bat legal for your league. Hitting is off a tee so every player sees the exact same ball.
