Critical

Split athletes into three concurrent groups. Do not allow single-file queues.
If a sensor loses calibration mid-session, pivot immediately to backup manual tracking. Protect the 60-minute hard ceiling.
Athletes route through intake (medical readiness, equipment, workload) before they warm up.
Do not mix laser-gate and stopwatch numbers in the same block. One timing method, labeled.

Intake — before warm-up

Medical readiness verified.
Equipment checked — bat certification band, footwear, any catcher gear.
Workload checked. Athlete is cleared for a full testing hour.

01 · Setup & calibration · 1 hour · ~20 min a station

Hitting station

HitTrax / portable tracker · 20m

HitTrax / portable tracker deployed at the designated cage.
Mandatory batter’s box marked.
BDA-approved test bats staged by certification band — USA, USSSA, BBCOR. Do not mix results without the band.
Automated pitching machine set, or front-toss screen exactly 25 feet from the plate.
Live capture confirmed. Session named: date + Gauntlet. Not Untitled.

Defense / throwing station

Radar · target net · 20m

Radar in line with the throw path — not off-angle.
Marker cones at infield / outfield start points for the active challenge tier.
Standard target net at first base or the designated receiving zone. Net, not a human first baseman.
Fungo / machine operator assigned. Ball difficulty stays consistent for the recorded set.
This runbook open at the station. If the unit blanks, the number still gets entered here.

Speed / athleticism station

Laser gates · broad-jump mat · 20m

Laser gates at the 0-yard start and the 10-yard acceleration finish. Walk-through trigger test.
30-foot Home-to-First track measured and taped. RHH protocol posted.
Calibrated standing broad-jump mat down. Edges secured.
Surface clean. Footwear-type requirement posted and noted on the card.
Backup stopwatches staged. If the gates die, the whole block goes MANUAL — do not mix methods.

02 · Active testing · 1 hour · 60-min hard ceiling

Hard ceiling: 60 minutes. When the hour is gone, testing is done — even if a group is mid-set.

Window	Group 1	Group 2	Group 3
Rotation 1 · 0–20 · 3:00–3:20	Hitting	Defense / throwing	Speed / athleticism

Rotation 3 · 40–60 · 3:40–4:00	Speed / athleticism	Hitting	Defense / throwing

Rotate Hitting → Defense → Speed. Three groups concurrent. No single-file queues.

Hitting pillar

HitTrax

Mandatory 45-second pause between swings. Fatigue must not move exit velocity.

On the floor

Eight standardized reps against the athlete’s rank-appropriate input.
L1 is tee / front toss. L4 is a three-zone machine sequence. Do not mix inputs inside a recorded set.
Write bat certification in the Scorecard tab. USA, USSSA, and BBCOR do not share a column.
Capture max EV, average EV, contact rate, productive-contact %, and directional success (of 8).

Execution

Recorded set: 8 standardized reps
Rest: 45 seconds between swings
Directional: Success / 8

Defensive & throwing pillar

Radar · target net

A dedicated coach is the fungo or machine operator. Ball difficulty stays consistent.

On the floor

Ten fielding reps. Binary boxes only: success or failure. No half-credit.
Target is the net at first / receiving zone — not a human first baseman.
Throwing velocity is a standardized positional throw, not mound velocity.
Accuracy is out of 20. Transfer, clean fielding, complete play, and first-move prep are each out of 10.

Speed & athleticism pillar

Laser gates · manual backup

One timing method for the whole block. Do not mix laser-gate and stopwatch data.

On the floor

Home-to-First uses the RHH protocol. Left-handed standards are a separate chart.
Two trials on each timed event. Keep the best valid time.
Finish with two standing broad-jump attempts. Evaluate body control on the jump.
If the gates die: stopwatch immediately, mark MANUAL on every time, keep the group moving.

Hitting input by rank

L1: Tee or controlled front toss
L2: Predictable machine feed
L3: Moderate velocity; inner / outer introduced
L4: Youth competitive velo · 3-zone machine sequence

L6: High-school varsity conditions

Defense challenge tier

L1–L2: Stationary to routine movement
L3–L4: Forehand / backhand, variable direction
L5–L6: Game-speed range, recovery, time pressure
L7–L8: Position-specific advanced situations

03 · Breakdown & data sync · 1 hour

Data preservation · 30 min · IT responsibility

IT exports HitTrax / tracker / radar files off every device before power-down. If it only lives on the unit, it is not saved.
IT confirms every athlete’s capture is in this runbook (Scorecard tab) plus the device export.
IT loads the session into each 360 Athlete Profile — scores, excellence points, and minimum pillar floors.
IT converts raw results to performance indexes against the active-rank matrix. That math is not a floor job.
Coach hold: do not unplug until IT says the devices are clear. Flag MANUAL times and mixed-cert bats in the notes so IT has them.

Equipment pack-out · 30 min · Coach responsibility

Power down and case radar units, laser gates, and tracking tablets.
Return test bats to inventory by certification band.
Cones, tape, nets, mat — off the floor.
Lanes restored. Field House is shared space.
Walk the floor once. If you can still see a cone, you are not done.

Station order: Hitting → Defense / throwing → Speed / athleticism. Groups: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3. Capture in this runbook. IT preserves device files and 360 profiles.
